Seer
Makenna Fraser has a new worry. Her partner at Supernatural
Protection & Investigation is the focus of the shape-shifting
leader of a band of ghoul thieves. But SPI soon learns that
far more is at stake than a few safety deposit boxes as they
search for this new threat whose origins are very, very old.
The SPI Files series is exactly my kind of fantasy with a
not exactly badass main character whose superpower is as much
stubbornness as it is supernatural sight. Plus, as someone
who can get motion sick in a rocking chair, I could relate
to Makenna's frequent queasiness. Having a goblin for a male
romantic lead is an interesting idea as well, since "hot
goblin" just isn't a combination you imagine. This particular
installment has plenty of thrills and action, but I also enjoyed
the relationships between the characters and seeing how Ian
dealt with his supernatural stalker. The dialogue is generally
snappy and believable, without the heavy-handedness I sometimes
see in quirky characters. All together, this is definitely
a rollicking fantasy adventure series and an author I'll be
following from here on out.
