Synopsis
This is the first book in a new urban fantasy-thriller series with the perfect amount of wry humour and a sassy female lead, which will delight all fans of thrillers and fantasy alike. Rachel Morgan is a white witch and runner working for Inderland Security, in an alternate world where a bioengineered virus wiped out a great deal of the world's human population - exposing the existence of the supernatural communities that had long lived alongside humanity. For the last five years Rachel has been tracking down law-breaking Inderlanders in modern-day Cincinnati, but now she wants to leave and start her own agency. Her only problem is that no one quits the I.S. Marked for death, Rachel will have to fend off fairy assassins and homicidal weres armed with an assortment of nasty curses. She's a dead witch walking unless she can appease her former employers by exposing the city's most prominent citizen as a drug lord. But, making an enemy of the ambiguous Trent Kalamack is just as deadly as leaving the I.S.
Review
Set in the near future the book revolves around the adventures of a Rachel Morgan who is a officer of the law turned private eye, and a witch. This book will pull you into the strange world of the interlanders who have been always around, but until recently have not been noticable.
The interlanders are all the favorite horror fiction characters of Witches, Warewolves, Vampires and Demons. Rachel is trying to survive quiting the law office, avoiding tension with her new partner and prove the city's most prominent citizen is not squeeky clean.
Her adventures keep you on the edge of your seat and not wanting to put the book down. The various characters are well written and you end the book wanting to know what will happen next in the extraodinay life of Rachel Morgan - which, you get the chance to find out in the next book 'The good, the bad, and the undead'
