Reading should always be enjoyable, and so far, this series has delivered that with every page.
The plot narration is quick, and filled with interesting information, details and events, mixed in with lively dialogue, producing a fantastically offbeat story, filled with characters that are, mostly, very relatable, and wonderfully written, that inhabit a world that is at once recognisable, but at the same time strange and mysterious.
There is also a delightful mixture of lightheartedness and gritty realism. I was also surprised to find I had developed strong emotional attachments to some of the characters while reading the second book when I became aware that my eyes were misting over due to the events described in a couple of the scenes in the latter half of the book, which is always the sign of a good book, to me.

The 13th Witch: The King's Watch: Book 01
Did you know that the gods can use mobile phones?
They can, and Odin has a message for Conrad…
Conrad Clarke, former RAF pilot and alleged gangster gets a text – and a visit – from The Allfather.
Odin has a challenge for Conrad: sign up to protect England from wild magick and get a commission in the King’s Watch.
All he has to do is find a missing witch. Simple.
Conrad never could resist a challenge. Before you can say “Ragnarok”, he’s plunged into a world of gods, mages, witches, dwarves and one very aggressive giant mole.
But the witch doesn’t want to be found, and powerful mages will kill to keep her hidden. Going back isn’t an option. Going forward looks a lot like death.
Armed with nothing but a sense of humour and a willingness to cheat, Conrad has to find the Witch and save his life.

The King’s Watch
Conrad needs a rest. The universe has other ideas.
He had planned the perfect weekend in the English Lake District – tie up some loose ends before spending the night with his girlfriend. Simple. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything is the answer. An innocent man is murdered to cover up magickal misdeeds, and before they can draw breath, Conrad and his partner in magickal crime-fighting, Vicky Robson, are on the trail of a Mage who hides behind dark magick to kill at a distance.
In the third book of Mark Hayden’s highly praised King’s Watch sequence, Conrad and Vicky have to unlock doors and penetrate the ancient families of the Lakeland Particular to unmask a killer with an agenda of vengeance who doesn’t care who dies on the way.
