Freya Holmes is unique in an already eccentric city.
New Orleans may be a paranormal mecca but even in a world where every type of shifter and witch is commonplace, a vampire-witch hybrid is something to worship … and fear.
Freya has never been interested in her parents’ opulent world. She finds her power in magic, which is why she formed Nightshade Detective Agency in the first place. She’s interested in helping people … even when that help might come at the cost of her life.
Knox Cullen grew up on the poor side of New Orleans. His shifter genes allowed him to climb out of poverty and embrace a certain lifestyle as a paranormal bounty hunter. He can take a punch and throw one. He’s not ready for Freya, though.
When a local mobster ends up dead and the culprit appears to be a supernatural assassin, both Freya and Knox are on the case. Unfortunately, they have no intention of working together and two hard heads don’t make for a soft landing.
Freya has her hands full. In addition to Knox, who is hiding something big, there’s a paranormal investigation unit seeking a partnership that takes advantage of her hard work and their impressive reach. The Legacy Foundation has quite the reputation, as do the two people—Charlie and Jack—who approach her with an offer she might not be able to refuse. Can she trust them? Can she trust anybody?
The clock is ticking. Freya needs to save the French Quarter. Sadly, she might lose herself in the process.

So fun to read the start to another mystery series with crossover to multiple of Amanda's other successful series. I loved the banter between Freya and Knox and can't wait to see when that relationship will heat up. Amanda always has the best paranormal stories and this one doesn't disappoint. I'm sad I have to wait until August for the next book but will be reading that as soon as it's available! ) 2 people found this helpful

I really think that some stage you need to have a meeting between the Amanda M Lee books and the Lily Harper Hart books. Most of us know they are the same person and it's going to start getting confusing with the parallel books and the same area. )

This is a new series for me. I believe it’s an offshoot of the Charlie Rhodes series. Too many series in New Orleans. Lots of strings left hanging after this first book. )

I’ve read a lot of Amanda Lee books. I really like how she ties all the characters together and still let them be themselves in other series. )

I'm looking forward to the next adventure. I love the Chemistry between the two main characters. I'm in love with the city of New Orleans, was born in Algiers. So happy Charlie is still around. Thanks for a new adventure to read. )
