The Beginning Of A Beautiful Partnership?
•••NOT for the homophobic or closedminded•••
This series must be read in order. This is the revamped prettied up & reedited new version of the first book. I adore both versions, but if new to the series I suggest you stick with this one :) (Though I suggest avoiding the extra material at the end until after reading the newest book Raven to avoid any chance at spoilers) I can't wait to reread the next book Stormrage!
Raven is a both a Vampire Princess and a Homicide Detective. She, in many ways, is heir to both of her parents' legacies. Being half Vampire and half Human makes her place as heir and enforcer hard for many Vampires to reconcile but her ability to walk in the sun while having Mistress level powers makes her much more powerful... If only she could get over her pesky aversion to claret (blood). Often when her "weird" cases and her familial responsibilities collide she is conflicted so she chooses what to do in each situation on a case by case basis trying to do as much good and as little harm as possible while still keeping the supernatural world a secret. And she can't seem to keep a partner to save her life... No pun intended. She is lucky to keep them alive while working with her. Getting assigned Levac seems like a cruel joke... They call him Codumbo after all! Can he survive working with her? Or will he be the one to get them both killed? How good can he possibly be when he can't even keep his clothes clean? What in the world could kill someone by apparently exploding their stomach outwards from the inside? Is it a weird murder? Or some new supernatural threat? Who or what is following Raven? Is it because of this case or her family? Both?
***This series is suitable for adult readers who enjoy dark urban paranormal fantasy with an incredible snarky heroine who never gives up or gives in when pursuing justice in all forms and filled with action, adventure, mystery, intrigue, suspense, thrills and a dash of romance and plenty of horror laced with humor :)
