Paranormal, Romance, Suspense

A sinister magic is sweeping across Nash City... To Fiona Moon, it’s just another day at work. And some days, well, they’re a helluva lot worse than others. As a member of the elite Black Blade Guard, Fiona is tasked with hunting down the most-dangerous Paranorm criminals. To find out who is kidnapping mages and sucking the life energy from their bodies, she has to work with the one man that embodies everything she despises. Master Necromancer Ian Barroes, a rich professor of Necromantic Studies, wants only one thing in this world… Fiona. They each hold secrets that could destroy them, but ones that could also be the key to destroying the evil Voodoo priest, Bokor. They must learn to trust each other and track down Bokor before more innocent lives are lost. When Fiona becomes a target of the evil madman, she is lured into his trap. Now, she and Ian have to fight for survival… and their very souls.

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!

In the year 2012, just as the Mayans predicted, life on earth suffered The Cataclysm that shifting the whole world off its axis by 90 degrees. Several hundreds of years later, life is beginning again, in the old cities and some new ones. Fiona Moon and her family, are getting by. She is a member of the Elite Black Guard, works hard at her job. When bodies are turning up at an alarming rate, she is forced to work with Ian, Master Necromancer. This job may very well cost them everything, their lives, their hearts, their very souls. You know what?? I LOVE it when a book totally blows me away! Totally did not see this coming at me, at all. The world building is astounding! You don't get all the history at once, you get little bits here and there, almost thrown in as an after thought, and in the beginning, I was thinking, nah, I;m not gonna like this, but as it all started to make sense, and I could put those bits into bigger pieces and finally a whole world, I grew more and more excited to see how it was gonna go. Ian and Fiona had worked together before, and they had history. Fiona's mother was killed by and necromancer of old, plying his wares and scamming his way. But there is more to Ian that Fiona first thought, and right from the beginning there is an underlaying tension between them, that bubbles, and simmers for ages! It only a matter of time before things boil over and they do, brilliantly! The plot moves at a clear and even pace, not too fast or too slow, just nicely plods along, but I mean that in a GOOD way! There are vampires, werewolves, shifters, mages, and all sorts of other paranormals that have been out in the open since The Cataclysm, some good, some not so. I would love to read any future books in this series, to see what happens next for Fiona and Ian, but equally, for Fiona's sisters, River and Anya. I can see Jarrett playing a part with one of said sisters, I really can. At the end of this review, I'm including the bit of world building that is included on Amamzon, but not added here on Goodreads, it might pique your interest! Cos I know if I had seen that bit, I would have been interested, really I would! Seriously good book, people! 5 full stars
