Blight Marked: An Urban Fantasy Novel (Ethereal Earth Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 247 ratings

Becoming a target is never great, but it’s a little worse when the people trying to kill you are technically the good guys.

Gabe escaped the Ether with the ultimate prize, and he thought that meant he was done with deadly cosmic games. But the nightmares infesting his life have different plans, and they’re not asking nicely before dragging him back in. It turns out holding all the power in the universe doesn’t mean much if you have no idea what to do with it.

So together with Heather, he embarks on a frantic race to collect the remaining six Iglas and stave off the coming darkness. And in the process, they discover just how much deeper their problems go. With new threats lashing at them from every side, and old ones tightening their grip, it becomes a contest against chaos to see who will dictate the future of existence: the assorted protectors of Earth, an all-consuming darkness...or a conman who would really rather not.

Blight Marked is the third book in the Ethereal Earth series, an ongoing story about reality, illusions, and all the ridiculous crap in the gray space between.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Blight Marked has established Ethereal Earth as one of those PLUS ULTRA rare urban fantasy series where each new installment receives my high anticipation. During several sections in the last 30% of the novel, I honestly thought that Blight Marked was going to be the final book of the series, it is good to know that there will be more to come after this, and I will be anticipating its arrival."4.5/5 - Petrik, Novel Notions

About the Author

Josh Erikson spent twelve years in the hospitality industry before life gave him a swift enough kick to propel him toward writing. Now he splits his days between thinking up stories for the awesome people reading this and spending time with his wife and two young children. He lives in rural Nebraska, does not own any livestock, and likes corn just fine, thank you very much.

    This is a really good book in a really good series. The Ction is top-notch, characterization is very deep and realistic, character growth is meaningful and impacts plot, dialogue is snappy and smart, plot has interesting twists and turns. A really good series in a rich world that could go far.

    This moved along nicely, lots of action with a satisfying finish! If you liked the first 2 books you'll like this one too. I'm excited to see what Erikson writes next.

    Josh does a great job of carrying over everything from books 1 and 2. You get closure in some areas, and yet more doors and avenues open in others. This keeps it fun and fresh. You will want to come back for more.

    Getting deeper and deeper in the alternative reality. Good read. More suprise moves, more cool peeps, more boats, planes, and liches...
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020
    SF and fantasy are my preferred genres but to be honest most of it is mediocre at best. Sturgeon’s Law is as true for these genres as it is for anything else and I’ve been reading fantasy for a very long time. Getting into my personal 10% that isn’t crap is pretty hard. Hero Forged and Fate Lashed definitely made the cut. I’m pleased to add Blight Marked to the list. Character development has always been a strong point for this author. As we find out more and more about the characters their motivations become a bit more ambiguous. Some of the darker ones become a shade less black, some of the “good guys” may not be all that good. I hope Ethereal Earth 4 comes along soon.

    It's great to read a story that is pushiing the boundaries a bit. I've not read alot of urban fantasy - and I have read ALOT of Scifi/fantasy over the last 40 off years.
    Interested to see how this and the characters progress!
