Praise for
unperfect souls
“Peeling back layers in Del Franco’s mystifying Weird series only whets the
appetite for more.”
—RT Book Reviews
“Mark Del Franco is rapidly staking a claim as one of my favorite non-comic
urban fantasy authors. What’s not to like? . . . I thoroughly enjoyed reading
Unperfect Souls and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys contemporary
fantasy.”
—Fantasy Literature
“[A] hidden gem.”
—Night Owl Romance
Praise for
unfallen dead
“Connor is an engaging character with a real heart and a sense of humor that
humanizes him to the reader. The world that he lives in is well constructed and
easy to sink into. I also find it incredibly refreshing to read [about] a male
protagonist when so much paranormal fiction is dominated by female
protagonists. Del Franco has created the perfect hero for the modern age.”
—BookFetish

“[A] fast-paced ride through the Weird side of town . . . Rob Thurman and John
Levitt fans will want to check out this urban fantasy series.”
—Monsters and Critics
“One of the most compelling aspects of this first-person detective series is the
evolutionary track taken by its damaged yet persistent hero. Del Franco
continues to enhance the backstory relationships between secondary characters
while laying out a gritty, compelling mystery. In the hands of a talent like Del
Franco, murder, revenge, and attempted world conquest add up to urban fantasy
at its best.”
—Romantic Times
“Damaged druid Connor Grey is back in his third mystery, which ramps up the
magical action considerably . . . lots of snarky characters to keep things fun.”
—Locus

Praise for
unquiet dreams
“A tale filled with magic, mystery, and suspense . . . Unquiet Dreams is a well-
written story with characters that will charm readers back for another visit to the
Weird.”
—Darque Reviews
“Unquiet Dreams is an urban fantasy wrapped around a police procedural, and
that makes for a fast-paced, action-packed novel . . . a great new urban fantasy
series.”
—SFRevu

“A solid adventure filled with unique characters and plenty of fast-paced
suspense.”
—Pulp Fiction Reviews
“It’s back to the Weird for the second chapter in this striking first-person druid-
detective series. Del Franco’s clear and textured voice ensures that readers
[invest] instantly in characters and story. Waiting for the next installment will be
tough.”
—Romantic Times
“Readers who like a mystery as the prime plot of an outstanding fantasy (think
of Dresden) will thoroughly be entertained and challenged by Unquiet Dreams.
This is a great new series.”
—Genre Go Round Reviews
“Mark Del Franco is a master at combining modern fantasy with crime detective
mystery. Fans of either genre are sure to find a good read in Unquiet Dreams.”
—BookLoons

unshapely things
“A richly detailed world . . . It will pull you along a corkscrew of twists and
turns to a final cataclysmic battle that could literally remake the world.”

“An engaging urban fantasy . . . a bravura finale.”
—SF Reviews.net

“[An] entertaining contemporary fantasy mystery with a hard-boiled druid
detective . . . a promising start to a new series.”
—Locus

“Masterfully blends detective thriller with fantasy . . . a fast-paced thrill ride . . .
Del Franco never pauses the action . . . and Connor Grey is a very likable
protagonist. The twisting action and engaging lead make Unshapely Things hard
to put down.”
—BookLoons

“The intriguing cast of characters keeps the readers involved with the mystery
wrapped up in the fantasy . . . I look forward to spending more time with Connor
in the future and learning more about him and his world.”
—Gumshoe

“A wonderfully written, richly detailed, and complex fantasy novel with twists
and turns that make it unputdownable . . . Mr. Del Franco’s take on magic and
paranormal elements is fresh and intriguing. Connor Grey’s an appealing hero
bound to delight fantasy and paranormal romance fans alike.”
—The Romance Readers Connection
“Compelling and fast paced . . . The world-building is superb . . . Fans of urban
fantasy should get a kick out of book one in this new series.”
