BLURB:
Belail felt the tension in Bla’Gar’s mansion the moment he appeared in the demon’s bedroom. Such a shame, Bla’Gar had royally fucked up with his pet. He played the Komboskini back and forth in his hand for a second time. The souls forced into amber beads heated and smoked, a wailing scream rang from them before two of the beads burst. Glowering at the shattered souls on the carpet, white smoke dancing towards him. Belails’s stomach cramped at that very moment. What was foretold would soon unfold. The little one perceived it. Breathing in the white smoke Belail could not pinpoint it but he could smell…shortbread cookies, hollies, spruce and snow? Christmas? No…with a sly chuckle he silently whispered. “The Winter Ball.” But the smells were tainted with blood–human blood. The ball would not end in all white glory, this time in blood and death.
REVIEW:
A second WOW! I absolutely loved the continuation of this story. It is four years after an event called The Revelation. Humans are now aware that Paranormal, Supernatural and Preternatural beings walk amongst us.
This is Episode Two in the story of Raven White, a detective “enforcer” who is the only detective in the City of Quebec dealing with super and para cases. Raven is well liked by the para and super communities because he treats them with fairness and respect. In episode one Raven met Freshán Chetlér, someone that all the supers and paras fear. We, the readers, know that Freshán Chetlér is actually a demon named Bla’Gar, but Raven doesn’t. In episode two, Raven learns Bla’Gar’s true identity. Along the way he meets a new enforcer partner (not sure how I feel about her just yet), meets some Lycans (some not so nice), fights a hellhound one on one, and is attacked by a vampire. He also deals with his increasing attraction to Chetlér/Bla’Gar.
I love this book (?), serial chapter (?), episode (?). I’m just not sure what to call it, so I’ll go with Episode Two as the author intended! I usually HATE “to be continued” books, but this one reminds me more of the way that John Saul did his “The Blackstone Chronicles”. I may be dating myself, but I read that serial in little skinny paperback format. One piece at a time, but they came out fast, and I rushed to get each piece. I mention that serial, because that is exactly how I feel with this one. I love this Neon White thing, whatever you want to call it, and highly recommend it. Please Wulf, don’t make us wait two months for the next one! And keep them coming!
