Ronan and Dustin are headed to New Orleans for a case they hope will be quick. They're looking forward to spending an extra few days there on vacation together, except the easy case turns out to be anything but easy. In fact, it could be deadly.

I do admit that the overall plot was interesting. I liked the introduction of new creatures to the world building and I did enjoy the continued growth of the relationship between Ronan and Dustin. That said, there wasn't much else I liked. For one, we barely got to know Ronan and Dustin in the last book and suddenly they're going to a new city. We learned that Dustin had moved to be closer to Ronan and that Ronan had rearranged his life for Dustin, but their planning a vacation together was a bit sudden. The plot wasn't bad, but it would have worked better for a third book.

I also had issues with the writing style. Writing in the present tense is a risk and I don't think the risk paid off for this series. It's really difficult to read writing in the present tense and speaking in the past. The style also naturally detracts from the emotional aspects of the story, which made their relationship and their reactions to the plot feel a touch unrealistic.
