And that hot-as-Hel series with the “Sookie Stackhouse type of vibe” (Paranormal Horizon) is back—but this time the paranormal Midwestern town of Pemkowet is feeling a frost in the air and the residents are frozen in fear....The Pemkowet Visitors Bureau has always promoted paranormal tourism—even if it has downplayed the risks (hobgoblins are unpredictable). It helps that the town is presided over by Daisy Johanssen, who as Hel’s liaison is authorized by the Norse goddess of the dead to keep Pemkowet under control. Normally, that’s easier to do in the winter, when bracing temperatures keep folks indoors.But a new predator is on the prowl, and this one thrives on nightmares. Daisy is on her trail and working intimately with her partner and sometime lover from the Pemkowet PD, sexy yet unavailable werewolf Cody Fairfax. But even as the creature is racking up innocent victims, a greater danger looms on Pewkowet’s horizon.As a result of a recent ghost uprising, an unknown adversary—represented by a hell-spawn lawyer with fiery powers of persuasion—has instigated a lawsuit against the town. If Pemkowet loses, Hel’s sovereignty will be jeopardized, and the fate of the eldritch community will be at stake. The only one who can prevent it is Daisy—but she’s going to have to confront her own worst nightmare to do it.

3.5 POISON FRUIT by JACQUELINE CAREY
This book was such a struggle to get through but the last maybe 8th of the book was worth it. I loved the Happy for Now ending. The ending couple was okay but I don't know if it's actually better. But anyway, good ending to the series. 3-1/2 out of 5 stars because of the drag of the first 7/8 of the...

4.0 Winter wonderland
As winter settles over the town of Pemkowet, a new chill is in the air - that of the town's past actions coming back to haunt it. And the implications of that are more than hellspawn Daisy or any of her friends and allies could have guessed. And I very much enjoyed this ride. :) This is the fina...

3.0 Not bad
I spent a great deal of time in this book impatiently waiting for some anticipated event, something the character was planning, and finding myself less interested in the in between things that were happening in the interim. There've been a few things in the series that have grated on me. The ma...
