Out Of The Shade by Diane Barr
Fairies that carry katanas and guns instead of sprinkling magic dust and granting wishes. Dragons that reanimate the dead. Drug-crazed goblins terrorizing neighborhoods. Illegal demons attempting to conjure the alter ego of an Egyptian goddess.
Sounds like something out of a nightmare, right? Wrong. It’s my everyday life.
Welcome to the Shade, where all the creatures of myth hang out and where I, Detective Gabrielle Tate of the Supernatural Task Force, police them. My partner is AWOL and my sexy dragon boss is leaving nothing to chance as we deal with goblins high on Escape and a serial killer—or worse, a nest of rogue vampires—leaving the drained corpses of faeries and cops all over town.
And then there’s the psychotic demons trying to conjure the goddess Hathor’s alter ego, Sekhmet, to destroy humanity. As a fairy and direct descendent of Hathor, I’m eager to manifest her power and use it to combat evil. At the same time, I need to learn how to control the accompanying bloodlust. How? By taking lessons from the charismatic leader of the local vampire clan, of course.
If you thought the mean streets of Detroit were tough, you’ve never seen the Shade.
Amazon Review
Ms. Barr does an excellent job of creating a unique Fantasy world that is meshed into a vibrant modern setting. The plot is well thought out and is full of many characters that you'll both love and love to hate. It has just about everything you could ask for including action, romance, humor, suspense, and mystery all wrapped up in a good sized ebook.
While I'm not usually one to read Fantasy, I found this book to be a highly enjoyable read and would most certainly recommend it to anyone mature reader (due to a couple of explicit scenes). This book had me laughing and guessing what was coming next all at the same time. The characters along with their lives and adventures are described in rich detail, further flushed-out with all sorts of background information that you get to uncover throughout the book.
I look forward to reading the next book in this series when it releases!
