I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, or whatever their next book is.ĪRC received from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 'The chemistry between these characters is downright palpable. I’m so impressed with this author’s debut. How was the romance? Wonderfully done and completely satisfying. The mystery was much better than I expected, especially the police procedural scenes which seemed entirely accurate in my admittedly limited knowledge. Since coming out, the werewolves have had to contend with bigotry from some of those in the know, which reminded me of things happening right now, ahem. The paranormal element comes in the form of werewolves, but Adhara’s take on the way they shift and how they’ve been able to survive for so long before “coming out” to the world’s governments is different from what I’ve seen before. I loved the mix of mystery/police procedural, romance, and paranormal. I find the fact that Adhara is a debut author incredible because everything about this book is solid.

Its author has brought both the wartime past of a devastated city and its confident reinvention of itself in a new era to life with extraordinary assurance. This is a wonderful, vibrant, tense novel about war and its aftermath. Impressively evocative of period and place, and an effortlessly involving and dramatically unusual second novel.
