Book Summary
 
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL, MAN AND DEMON, SHE’S ABOUT TO FACE THE ONE THING SHE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE.

Welcome to the world of Kara Gillian, a cop with a gift. Not only does she have the power of “othersight” to see what most people can’t even imagine, but she’s become the exclusive summoner of a demon lord. Or maybe it’s the other way around. The fact is, with two troublesome cases on her docket and a handsome FBI agent under her skin, Kara needs the help of sexy, insatiable Lord Rhyzkahl more than he needs her. Because these two victims, linked by suspicious coincidence, haven’t just been murdered. Something has eaten their souls.

It’s a case with roots in the arcane, but whose evil has flowered among the rich, powerful, and corrupt in Beaulac, Louisiana. And as the killings continue, Kara soon realizes how much there’s still to learn about demons, men, and things that kill in the night—and how little time she has to learn it.
 
 
 My Review
 

Ok, mystery and crime – Check! Well develop characters – Check! More urban fantasy than paranormal romance – YES.
The problem is that the author hints at romance far too much and doesn’t deliver. Just freaking leave it out of the equation. I don’t need it to enjoy the story. So many UF writers fail at this very task.
Other than that, this author does great at creating a realistic crime plot. I found myself second guessing the killer many times on this one.
I did however get overly frustrated with the minor subplot romance and found myself seeking out spoilers so that I could move past the wondering on that level. It worked. My expectations were muted and I could move onto the next book.
If you like crime mystery and paranormal, this is a series to check out.

Liv Anderson continues to do an excellent job.
My book boyfriend Ryan. (too bad I’m guess at what he looks like)
