Publisher's Summary

Bo Blackman is a rookie private investigator working for the London based firm of Dire Straits. She doesn't often get triber-based assignments, which is just as well. Vampires and daemons don't interest her as much as humans do. However, when she has to serve a summons on a dodgy daemon called Devlin O'Shea and she ends up saving his life instead of being framed for his murder, her life takes a shocking turn for the worse. And when the vampire Families start involving themselves too, Bo no longer knows where to turn.

Interesting enough to keep going

I’m on the fence the book was interesting enough for me to dive into the next, but I can’t help but feel like something was lacking. Maybe romance? There’s kinda a slow burn thing going on right now that will probably pick up in the next book. There was action, mystery and some funny moments. Overall it’s good but not great

Excuse me while I go binge the rest of the Bo Blackman series.

Fantastic! Well written, twisty mystery that keeps you guessing. Smart likable main character. All characters well developed. The narration is perfect. Loved everything about it.
