Dhamphire Detective Does Homicide :)
•••NOT for the homophobic or closedminded•••
This series must be read in order. This is the first book.
This book was so awesomely understated I loved it! Ravenel is a homicide detective and Fürsten (bodyguard, enforcer, heir to the throne, and second in command to her mother the vampire queen)... She is also a dhamphire (only half vampire and not harmed by any vampire weaknesses ie sunlight etc).
Even though none of the cops know that she is a preternatural (or even know that such a thing exists) Raven manages to get assigned ALL the preternatural crimes in Chicago which has her going through human partners really quick. Every time she turns around her partner is in the hospital (or dead) and they assign her a new one... Gotta feel sorry for the guy she's stuck with next!
Raven is awesomely snarky and I had a lot of fun reading her story! I loved the banter she kept up even when nothing was in her favor... Outnumbered? Who cares? There is mystery and action aplenty not to mention adventure and suspense :) There is even a little bit of romance to keep the book believable as a real world. I truly can not wait to read the next book Stormrage!
***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 :)
