Release May 16, 2014
The fine thread between reality and the fantastical has snapped. The mortal and supernatural must learn to co-exist in post-reality Minneapolis/St. Paul where video games leak monsters into the night, demons roam, thirsting for more than just blood, people are not who or what they seem and a diabolical evil plots and plans to devour the world.
AfterLife
Lily Starbuck’s day doesn’t start well with blood on the horizon and a grumpy werewolf who refuses to pay his catering bill. Her day only gets worse when she finds out that her business partner in their catering company has embezzled all their available cash.
Lily can get no answers from her partner when she finds her dead. That’s the least of her worries—her landlord is evicting her, she’s being hounded by the Fairy Dust Administration (FDA) who suspects that her partner was dealing in illegal dust, and Lily’s pissed off their werewolf supplier.
With Lily’s very livelihood in jeopardy, she has no choice but to discover who killed her partner and try to track down the cash. She has only Spocko, a small, wizened gnome with just a bit of gremlin blood in him that makes him cantankerous at best to depend on, but he often goes invisible on her. Clues lead her to an open case being investigated by Otherworld Security (O.S.) and the tough O.S. Warden, shapeshifter, Tam Darkwood. And, at the outset of the investigation, a tiny, mythical fire-breathing, red dragon joins her as her trusty (and opinionated) sidekick, Kindle.
It seems a rogue mage has created a video game that is unwarded and game monsters are being released to terrorize the citizens of the Twin Cities. Trouble is Lily has reason to believe that this mage killed her partner.
The investigation takes an unexpected turn when they are led to influential and powerful Archmage Tarquin Wilding and somehow Lily finds herself embroiled in a sinister shadow Fae plot. With her friends at her side, she tackles dangerous and unpredictable supernaturals and monsters with an “all in a day’s work” attitude.
~ My Thoughts ~
This is a 1person POV story and I have to say I liked being in Lily's mind, she was very different I had a hard time figuring her out hell I still do. lol. The characters are amazing and all the talents that each one holds is even better. The author did an outstanding job with the writing style and the story as a hole. This was my first time reading a story by this author and I have to say I will most deff read more from her. The over-all of the story is just damn amazing I didn't think their was going to be a lot of things happening in this story but *blush* I'm so glad they did.
The story is packed with a lot of smart mouthing, sex, and loads and loads of paranormals that I never would have thought to be out their in one amazing story. I do say this is a MUST READ for all PRN fans!!!
So I know my review and post is a little late getting posted for today but it was worth it!!! I started this story late last night and spent my hole day reading it to catch my self up. I at first didn't think I was going to like the story by the first few pages but BAM I was totally side swiped and fell for the story. Meaning yes I really enjoyed it. It's not like anything I have read with the paranormal and on the plus side makes me like Fae even more then I have before :)
