Bangkok Warlock by John P. Logsdon is book 1 in the Mark Vedis Supernatural Thriller series, also called Southeast Asia Paranormal Police Department. Bangkok Warrior uses the theme of a supernatural police force protecting us humans and borrows the Paranormal Police Department Logsdon uses in other novels.
This is an OK novel, not bad and not great, a decent read while I was camping. The main character, Mark Vedis, is an unassuming low-level mage in the Paranormal Police Department until he inadvertently bonds with a demon. Not to worry, the demons in this series aren’t devils, more like powerful, obnoxious paranormal creatures it’s best to avoid.
Mark then must take on more challenging responsibilities and lead a new team in Bangkok.
The author gives us almost nothing about Bangkok as the focus is on the paranormal side, not the earth side. The characters are OK, again not bad, reasonably interesting and somewhat fleshed out, but not compelling.
Overall Bangkok Warrior is a decent read for a lazy afternoon, best if you have a Kindle Unlimited account.
