New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Carey returns to the curious Midwest tourist community where normal and paranormal worlds co-existhowever tenuouslyunder the watchful eye of a female hellspawn
Fathered by an incubus, raised by a mortal mother, and liaison to the Pemkowet Police Department, Daisy Johanssen pulled the community together after a summer tragedy befell the resort town she calls home. Things are back to normalas normal as it gets for a town famous for its supernatural tourism, and presided over by the reclusive Norse goddess Hel. Not only has Daisy now gained respect as Hel’s enforcer, she’s dating Sinclair Palmer, a nice, seemingly normal human guy. Not too shabby for the daughter of a demon. Unfortunately, Sinclair has a secret. And it’s a big one. He’s descended from Obeah sorcerers and they want him back. If he doesn’t return to Jamaica to take up his rightful role in the family, they’ll unleash spirit magic that could have dire consequences for the town. It’s Daisy’s job to stop it, and she’s going to need a lot of help. But time is running out, the dead are growing restless, and one mistake could cost Daisy everything

Daisy's hoping that after the whole mysterious-eldritch-involved-drowning of the first book, things will be calming down in her life. The heavy tourist season is over for her town, and some of the various non-human creatures in the area go into some sort of winter hibernation. But life isn't usually...
I was wanting something not too heavy to read, and I remembered having read the first book in this series quite a while ago. I remember being very unenthusiastic about the main love interest that was established in that book, which led to my dragging my feet with regard to reading this one. I may ...
What a nice read this was. I really enjoyed reading more about Daisy and her friends. The plot was interesting and a page turner for me. The ending was very nice with [spoiler] Stefan and his offer, [/spoiler] although I still want something forever. [spoiler] Looks like Cody is out, [/spoiler] whic...

Daisy's love life is a little Anita Blake but the good ...
