Synopsis

The hot-as-Hel series with the "Sookie Stackhouse type of vibe" (Paranormal Horizon) is back-but this time the paranormal Midwestern town of Pemkowet is feeling a frost in the air and the residents are frozen in fear... The Pemkowet Visitors Bureau has always promoted paranormal tourism-even if it has downplayed the risks (hobgoblins are unpredictable). It helps that the town is presided over by Daisy Johanssen, who as Hel's liaison is authorized by the Norse goddess of the dead to keep Pemkowet under control. Normally, that's easier to do in the winter, when bracing temperatures keep folks indoors. But a new predator is on the prowl, and this one thrives on nightmares. Daisy is on her trail and working intimately with her partner and sometime lover from the Pemkowet PD, sexy yet unavailable werewolf Cody Fairfax. But even as the creature is racking up innocent victims, a greater danger looms on Pewkowet's horizon. As a result of a recent ghost uprising, an unknown adversary-represented by a hell-spawn lawyer with fiery powers of persuasion-has instigated a lawsuit against the town. If Pemkowet loses, Hel's sovereignty will be jeopardized, and the fate of the eldritch community will be at stake. The only one who can prevent it is Daisy-but she's going to have to confront her own worst nightmare to do it.

*** 3.89 *** A buddy read with my tail loving MacHallo Freaks! What can I say, I am a sucker for a half human, half demon spawn with a tail and a bad temper:) It is a bit like the visiting circus in a small town - the performers could be much better, but it is the only crazy entertainment in town and......more

Goodreads review by Anne on October 14, 2014

Poison Fruit was ok, but lackluster. If a fourth book were added, I'd probably read it since the books aren't unlikable, but there's nothing much to draw me back to this series which started off with an interesting supernatural world, but fizzled for me. On the romance front it left me cold, what hap......more

Goodreads review by Katie on February 08, 2018

Sigh, you know those series that are just kind of okay? And you keep reading because the books are there and sometimes it pays off? This is one of those where it did not pay off. I mean, it's not really terrible, I just was DONE. (But wanted to finish it since it was the last one.) And the romance! (view spoiler)[L (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Kara on February 05, 2015

Poison Fruit, like Autumn Bones, does not let much time elapse between books. The events of Halloween are still fresh in people’s minds as New Year approaches. Now Daisy has to get to the bottom of what the hell-spawn lawyer Daniel Dufreyne is doing buying up land around Little Niflheim. And she als......more

Goodreads review by Quinn on March 11, 2019

I'm ashamed to admit to the fact that it took me over 4 years to get around to finishing this series. I can't truly say why that is, except that I have a problem with closure, and would prefer for series to live on infinitely; having said that, I will say while Carey does a good job building closure......more
