by Cat Adams – The first of a trilogy, Blood Song takes urban fantasy to California, where the coauthors can play with dark magic and paranormal creatures under sunny skies. The main character, Celia Graves, is a bodyguard – and a damned good one – until she is nearly killed – and worse – on a job. And that’s not the worst thing that happens to her that night, she just doesn’t remember it all. (No spoilers here, though, so that’s all I’ll say about the plot.)
The writing is terrific. There’s dark humor laced through the tautly described action sequences and descriptions. The dialogue flows naturally, and the good-guy characters are engaging. I look forward to reading the next two books in the series. (finished 9/9/14)
