Headquartered in New York City, the agents of Supernatural Protection & Investigations (SPI) serve as the paranormals' law enforcement around the world. Makenna Fraser is a seer for SPI, using her power to suss out the supernatural bad guys. While on a (reconnaissance) date with goblin boyfriend Rake Danescu aboard the yacht of a vampire gangster's nephew and heir, Makenna and Rake are forced to watch said heir be kidnapped by swamp creatures and a kraken. At the same time, ghouls embark on a bank robbing spree in mid-Manhattan. Last but not least, Makenna's partner Ian is seized by the leader of these crime sprees, a shapeshifter whose ultimate goal is the destruction of humankind. Featuring plenty of fast-paced action and smart humor, Shearin's fourth SPI book (after The Brimstone Deception) highlights her heroine's sassy nature and supernatural strengths.
VERDICT Urban fantasy fans who enjoy a touch of romance and a lot of wit will be delighted with this series.
