    A short good paranormal story about Maggie who is a tracker for paranormals and Killian who is a Elf. They are trying to stop evil vampires from getting to the earth side from the other side. Good action, adventure . Voluntarily reviewed.
  • Fantastically unexpected.

    I wasn’t sure what to make of what would turn out to be an addicting story. At first I thought the writing was a bit aimed towards the pre-teen to late-teen crowd and that I wouldn’t enjoy it, but as I continued to read, I was enveloped by the witty remarks, innuendos, and a story that kept me curious up until the end. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, if not all of it!
  • Great story

    Within the first chapter I felt like I 'knew' Maggie and that she had been at her job and was comfortable with it. The author writes in a way that made me feel like I already knew enough about the two main characters and the setting so that any new information was just a casual reference to common facts. There was a few things that were brought up as 'fun facts' from an expert tracker to the general populace but it was generally an easy read. The main character, Maggie, is given a well described family background that perhaps needs another book before the relationships feel resolute, but the plot (adventure) is non-stop and doesn't get side-tracked by gratuitous sex, romance, or unrelated side-plots. That doesn't mean that there isn't some related joking by the characters :-D. I particularly appreciated that no main character made stupid mistakes or whined with never-ending angst over previous actions that later became mechanisms to forward the action and that while there is room to create a series afterwards, this story completely finished at the end of the book.

    I really like the grittiness of the main character, Maggie. Loved reading a book with lots of action and character tension. But without all the standardized sex to keep readers interested. The story and character developments keep me reading not the sexual titillations.
