Blurb:
I never wanted to be a cop let alone work for an agency that
used to hunt monsters like me. However, there seemed to be no place for me in
my pack. Especially because I didn't take orders well from my dad or my
aunt…and I have too much of my abjured mother’s looks to be accepted. Same went
for working for mundane corporations. One little territorial growl, and I'd be
in HR, explaining it was my culture.
So, I took up the International Supernatural Enforcement Agencies’ offer to be
among the first supernaturals among them. Because they kept the hard cases for
the experienced agents, my days of a rookie I.S.E.A. agent bordered on the
ludicrous but were never boring.
However, when a rash of ritualistic wolf shifter murders spreads across the
country and spans across the borders, Director Tan thinks my partner Jada and I
would be perfect for the case.
Why two rookies? Because my I'm a wolf shifter of Fenrir's line through my
mother. Which means my ancestors made a deal with the god to become what we are
today. I have that in common with the murder victims.
Also, on a scary note? I have a crushing feeling Fenrir is calling me to cash
in on my ancestor’s deal.
So, does my father, the son of the Archangel Gabriel, who passes down his sword
from the angelic wars for protection. Igni can light with angelfire, and she
also likes to spout her righteous opinion in my head, ad nauseum.
As Jada and I work the case, we discover there is a cult behind the murders and
they’re not just any cult. They claim to be the group embodiment of Lif and
Lifthrasir—the people who will live through Ragnarök. In case you haven’t
heard, that’s when a giant snake devours our little third rock from the sun.
The cult even has nifty leaders who want to be gods, and the sacrificial
murders are leveling them up to take on the Aesir.
Lucky us, the Aesir have assigned a gorgeous Valkyrie named Bryn to help us
out. Not sure if I can trust her. Jada certainly doesn’t. Especially since I've
kissed Bryn before I knew who she was, and she appears whenever I’m in danger.
Not complicated at all.
So, from wrangling giant multi-dimensional vermin frying pan into the stop the
world from ending fire, I must jump. Maybe if I get burned to a crisp, Igni
will shut up in my head.
My review:
Roxie and Jada are a total mismash of supernatural powers. We
should be glad they are on the side of good. This tale is filled with a
supernatural conspiracy filled with
those hungry for power and not too fussy about how they get it and the I.S.E.A agents
sent to stop them. This is an exciting procedural that has you wondering if the
end is near.
I enjoyed this but would have loved to know this was a spin-off
before reading this as they kept referring back to things we haven’t read.
