Synopsis

As an investigative journalist, Merci Lanard has an uncanny knack for getting the truth out of people, a talent she uses to expose the real story behind her city’s most gruesome crimes.

Until one night, when her partner, Ethan, is killed.

Reeling from shock and grief, Merci vows to track down his murderer. As she starts digging, she meets Ethan’s estranged brother, Rafe, who agrees to work with Merci to find his brother’s killer. She soon discovers Ethan had been hiding things from her, mainly that he was a Shifter and had a whole life in a supernatural world she knew nothing about.

A Shifter himself, Rafe introduces Merci to magic she never knew existed. As they work together to uncover hidden connections between Ethan's murder and a series of strange dead bodies, they find themselves in the crosshairs of a turf war for the soul of the city.

If Merci is to have any hope of saving her city, she will have to face the truth about this war, the truth about this new magical world, and the truth about who she truly is.

Goodreads review by Marylou on February 25, 2020

Fast, fun and fantastical! This book is a cross between a Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight paranormal and Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep. Arista’s hyperbolic similes and her thirst for the unnatural pulled me though the story and left a hankering for the next one.......more

Goodreads review by Loucy on November 05, 2024

Lecture mitigée. J'ai aimé l'univers développé par l'autrice ainsi que l'histoire et les personnages mais sans arriver à être captivée. Malheureusement ce livre m'a paru très très long. Il m'a fallu une bonne semaine pour le terminer alors que le livre ne fait qu'un peu plus de 400 pages. Sans doute......more
