Brimstone Bound

I was not ready for this to end. If you are a fan of Anita Blake and any of the Darynda Jones novels, you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE this book. The story builds with twists that you do not see coming. I hope to learn more about Lukas and Emma. There are so many ways this series can go so I'm committed to the ride. Just amazing you will not be disappointed.

Emma is a young detective-in-training with the London Police, just entering her last rotation before the final exam. She is assigned to the 'Supe Squad' for two weeks instead of her coveted Cyber Crime, but she overcomes her disappointment and goes to report to DC Anthony Brown. And she gets herself killed that same night.... only to awake the next morning in the morgue!

Determined to find out who killed her Emma starts her own investigation. Not easy in the territory of werewolves, vampires and other supernaturals but fortunately she is assisted in her quest by vampire Lukas.

The book reads like a cozy mystery but then with supernaturals. We follow Emma when she uncovers clues and we get some (minor) world building and explanation.
I had an inkling who was behind it all, but the story was quite enjoyable. I look forward to reading the next in the series and getting to know more about Emma and how she will fare!

You can’t beat a good murder mystery!

I was a bit iffy with this one for the first 2 or 3 chapters. It was pretty much nothing but world building that I found pretty boring to read. I even contemplated dropping it but I’m so happy I stuck it out cause this book was so good! Once I got to chapter 5 the ball was rolling and I was well and truly invested in the story.

It’s one of those unputdownable whodunnit stories with vampires, werewolves and mystery beings thrown in. It’s a lot of fun and it’s refreshing to read an urban fantasy not set in the US.

*Review will be posted on blog www.elainehowlin.com on September 1st

Before I begin my review for Brimstone Bound by Helen Harper I would like to thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in return for an honest opinion.


An incredible and intriguing tale of a trainee detective as she works with a venerable vampire to solve her own murder in the supernatural London of Brimstone Bound by Helen Harper. Prepare for a shockingly exciting murder mystery as we become acquainted with Harpers’ supernatural world in the introduction to The Firebrand Series.


Brimstone Bound features, but is not limited to, the following themes:
○ Paranormal London
○ Vampires and werewolves
○ Supernatural creatures
○ Murder mystery
○ Detectives
○ Supernatural detectives


My overall rating for Brimstone Bound is…

4.5 stars!

Let it be known here and now that I don’t typically do the whole murder mystery shenanigans, but holy vampire babies this book was incredible! Prepare to be sucked in from the get go with this fast paced story of vampires, werewolves and other supernatural beings living in a paranormal London. The journey to solve the case was exciting and shocking and I can’t wait to continue with this series. I believe we may even see some heated vampire romance on the horizon.


Brimstone Bound will be available on Amazon from 3 September 2020. The author has also promised all pre-order proceeds will be donated to the following charities:
○ Refuge (Domestic Violence in Uk)
○ Medecins Sans Fontieres AKA Doctors Without Borders (international humanitarian medical organisation)
First Book (USA education inequality)

I really enjoyed reading this book. For me, the paranormal aspects took a backseat to an interesting, well written mystery.

I have read much of Ms. Harper's work and find she is an adept writer in all the genres she writes.

This was a solid, well written book and I anxiously await the next one.

I am glad I had the opportunity to receive an ARC. I am leaving my honest review.

A different twist on the typical murder mystery. Non sparkling vampires, not so friendly werewolves and lots of red tape.

This was a lot of fun to read! I see that the author has several other books out and I’m going to have to read something else by her.
The story is a fairly straightforward one of solving a murder. The main character is new to the supernatural world and you see everything fresh through her eyes. She’s a sympathetic and likable character. The strength of the book is in its fast pace and interesting characters. If you like your urban fantasy light and without too much romance (there’s certainly romantic possibilities hinted at though) this would definitely be one to try.
My only regret is not having tried this author sooner!

Well I liked that this was set in London as so many paranormal stories seem to be set in the US. Whilst the author does mention certain London landmarks she didn't make the mistake of trying too hard to create a contemporary London and rather just set her story there. Emma is so close to being made a detective and her final placement puts her in the run down, often overlooked supe squad but from her first day things go from bad (brawling Werewolves) to worse when someone slits her throat !
I liked Emma and enjoyed the mysteries that helped to shape this story. I won't go into what actually happens too much but will say it was a wholly unique take on Werewolves and Vampires living amongst Humans. I did have my suspicions which proved to be correct but as to the motivation in play here that was a huge surprise. I did however feel that Lukas the Vampire who keeps popping up didn't really strike me as particularly menacing and I hope that in the next book we get a lot more of his dark side. So if you fancy reading something a little different than this new series might just surprise and hopefully delight you.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

I am not really into Supernatural series but this cover screamed read me!! Yes I do judge a book by their covers at first glance.

Sorry. But hey I am honest back to the review!

Helen Harper creates feisty, likable characters have a need to fight for what is right no matter what and a desire to be normal. Emma Bellamy was normal until something happened changing her forever!

I will be honest this would be a 5 star review but the ends had me scratching my head because it didn't match with the actions though out the series even when Emma spells it out for readers it still doesn't make since.

I love the author decision that using a persons name as the power to control another person. It was a interesting twist!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advance copy of Helen Harper Brimstone Bound

I received a copy of this book to review from Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.
This book was great! It pulled me out of a reading slump with its fast paced action and interesting characters. It is full of twists and turns with sharp writing and dialogue. The action continues to the last page.
I can't wait to read the second book in the series later in the year

Interesting new series. The characters are appealing and I enjoyed the plot. Can't wait to see what happens in the rest of the series. I've already picked up more books by this author.

Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of BRIMSTONE BOUND (Book 1 of the Firebrand series) by Helen Harper in exchange for an honest review. Meet Emma Bellamy. Emma’s just been switched to her last intern rotation as a probationary law enforcement officer. Emma’s at the top of her class and fully expects to be transferred to the elite Cyber Crimes Division, which is where she hopes to be permanently placed upon her qualification. Surprise! Emma is now a probationary officer with the Supernatural Squad, which is the department’s dumping ground for misfits and screw ups. Emma’s first day ends with her supervising officer blowing up at her for trying to actually do her job, so, when he sends her an apologetic message asking her to meet after hours, Emma, eager to make amends, goes to meet him. This gets Emma murdered. After she resurrects (again, Surprise!), Emma’s first step in locating her killer is to find her supervisor. This step is more challenging than expected and, once accomplished, raises only more questions. Emma’s mission to find her killer will introduce her to the supernatural community and their leaders. As she braves the strange and dangerous new cultures, Emma must learn to distinguish friend from foe and merely different from monstrous.

I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to all fans of regular (non-erotic) urban fantasy. Reader’s note, Emma is a complete neophyte to the paranormal; she’s deliberately kept herself completely ignorant in the expectation she would rarely interact with supernaturals. As such, the reader will figure out something important about Emma way before she does.

4.5 stars

This is an excellent first book. It's a paranormal fantasy that's set in England, which is a nice change from the traditional gritty US City. I had a hard time putting it down. The mysteries were done well and pretty much impossible to see coming, though I feel like we sacrifice a bit with this. I'm having a hard time articulating exactly why, but I just feel like there was no foreshadowing, and the big reveals were too uninvolved in the plot. They were too convenient. You spend time trying to suss out who the bad guy is and how things happened only to find that you could never have figured it out just by the nature of the design of it.

I'm big on romance, and there wasn't any of that here really aside from some extremely slow burn beginnings for what is clearly to come, and of which I wholly approve. *waggles eyebrows*

The magic system here, I mean aside from the vamps and wolves, has piqued my interest. We really get some clear foreshadowing <spoiler> on the cover here as far as Emma's powers go, yeah?</spoiler> I'm eager to see where this goes.

I'm eager to see where everything goes. I'm glad I got to read this. If you like paranormal fantasy, you will like this. It's a good one.

I am absolutely amazed at how much I loved this book! I have been looking for a new series since many of my current favorites are ending. Brimstone Bound has catapulted Helen Harper's series to my followed series and made my TBR pile much higher.

A young rookie cop is assigned to work with the "usual" supernatural characters that live just out of sight of human Londoners. This job is not on her bucket list but she needs the work experience, so on duty she goes. By the end of her shift, she's dead! WTH!!! But she doesn't stay dead for long and now she has a brand new list.

A really good entertaining story line that is still light hearted enough to keep you chuckling as this young police woman finds herself in a world she has no clue about.

I received this book for free to review.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me interested and wanting to pick up the book from one day to the next. There were a lot of twists and turns as the main character tried to solve the murder of her mentor. It also had a surprise ending too! I am definitely interested in reading the second book when it comes out in October!

Helen Harper never fails to create a heroine who entertains and her new book delivers a great character in Emma Bellamy. Emma has been doing everything right on her track to succeed as a London detective - her training is just about complete when she is given a final assignment that just doesn't quite seem right for a trainee of her caliber. A stint with the Supernatural Squad - not something that is looked upon very highly. Very quickly Emma finds out nothing is as it seems and she may have to place her trust in the most unexpected places. Helen always builds complete worlds for her character to live within and once again she has created a really fabulous universe. I can't wait to see where the next book takes Emma to - it will be a darkly intriguing adventure I'm sure. Don't miss this first book in a new series (- and if you haven't read any of Helen Harper's books do yourself a favour and go look up her catalogue. You won't be sorry.) Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I loved the premise of this book, alternate London with a kick-ass heroine who is on her last training placement before qualifying as a detective. Getting sent to the super squad was not part of the plan and ending up in a morgue was definitely not in the program. I really enjoyed a fresh take on supernaturals. While many of the familiar elements are there, the author adds something unique to her supes. 

This is the start of a new and intriguing series that I, for one, will gladly follow. 

I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

**4.5 Stars**

I have been eyeballing books by this author for forever, have most on my wishlist/want to read list, but I have only ever read one other by her and it was forever ago so I was excited to jump into this urban fantasy (with such an eye-catching cover!). Set in a modern day England with a twist, Emma is on her last rotation during her training to become a detective. Expecting an easy office job with cyber crimes, instead Emma is assigned to the Sups squad, the police task force that deals with relations between humans/police and all manner of supernatural creatures. What seems like an uneventful two weeks quickly turns into the most important investigation of Emma's life.

Brimstone Bound was as if an urban fantasy had a love child with a Law & Order style police procedural story, creating something super engaging and unique for me to read. The world building alone is enough to make me want to pick up the next book in the series, the details of the pack and werewolf hierarchy as well as all the other paranormal creatures were interesting. Add in the investigation and police policies and I wanted to solve the mystery just as much as Emma. I had a hunch that turned out to be correct about the killer but I still enjoyed the ride to find the truth.

Can I just take a minute to tell you how much I love Lucas and that I hope he stays around just as much in the next book? To be perfectly honest, I would love for him to be a possible romance for Emma, but I would gladly just accept him lurking on the pages as a side kick too- this is not a romance in any way, but a girl can hope. Hands down he is my favorite character right after Emma.

I recommend Brimstone Bound for anyone who loves vampires, werewolves, murder mysteries, urban fantasy and police investigations. I am glad that the next book is released soon!

Brimstone Bound, by author Helen Harper, is the first installment in the authors Firebrand series. Protagonist Emma Bellamy is a detective-in-training with the London Police. She's just entered her final rotation at the top of her class when she gets disastrous news. After everything she's worked hard for, she ends up being assigned to the Supernatural Squad instead of her coveted Cyber Crime. The Supernatural Squad is where the worst of the worst are dumped. On Emma's first day, she meets her new mentor, Detective Constable Anthony Brown who she will work with for the next 2 weeks.


Soho is an interesting place. 2,000 Vampires live here in a feudal system of governance alongside with (4) Werewolf clans. There are also ghouls, and gremlins living here. The balance between the supes is delicate to say the least. One wrong move, and the Supe Squad will be the first to fall. After all, they are just curtain dressing to keep up the appearance that the humans care. On her first day, she encounters two werewolves at each other’s throats which she curiously breaks up. But, after being lured out to Soho in the middle of the night by a curious message, she ends up dead. Ah, but what would be the point of this story if she stayed dead, yeah?


So, 12 hours later, according to her new friend in the coroner's office, she literally rises from the dead without a scratch on her. Determined to find out who killed her, Emma starts her own investigation. She's assisted in her quest by Lukas who is the vampire in these parts. Lukas may be the one person to make sure that Emma doesn't end up dead again. He's also the one who asks the hard questions; just why is Emma still alive after her brutal encounter with a killer? What is Emma anyway? But the mystery is just beginning. Tony is found dead. The werewolf Emma met the day before is dead, and her sister is missing, and the twists are just getting started.


The one thing you can take away from this first story is that the author has chosen not to name what Emma is even though the cover of this book clearly hazards a guess into that direction. When reading a book that is also a mystery, a reader must fully take in all characters whether they are on screen or just off screen. Of all the characters involved in this series, I have to say Lukas is the most curious. It's more than apparent that he's not going to let the Emma question go. It's also apparent that there's a connection between the two. It won't be long to find out what happens next. The next installment releases in October

This is the first book in a new series by an author I really like. As with a book with these conditions, I eagerly started it. I liked the beginning, but it seemed a little slow…until Emma dies. Then the book becomes spectacular. I loved all the characters even though the identity of one didn’t really surprise me. LOL! What did surprise me was the solving of the mystery. I was absolutely shocked by who the bad guy is. I wasn’t too convinced of the reason as it seemed a little too strange, but I was thrown. This was an excellent series started, and I’m definitely eager to read the next one. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my ARC.

I really enjoyed this book, it was a strong beginning for the series, with both likeable and horrid characters, the fun is working out, who is who.

Emma Bellamy is one assignment away from making Detective when she’s assigned to Supernatural Squad, and it’s her worst fear becoming true, because nobody wants to be assigned to Supernatural Squad.

While attempting to solve the mystery of a missing werewolf, Emma meets a mysterious vampire, manages to get herself killed and wakes up in the morgue.

An excellent read, I’m looking forward to the next title in the series.

Emma Bailey is living a great life, up for her final rotation in the London Police force detective training programme she gets assigned to the Supernatural Squad (usually given as a punishment for the truly useless) rather than the Cyber Crime assignment she (and her accountant boyfriend Jeremy) was expecting.

At first Emma is mortified at being given the dunce assignment, then excited at the idea of being a liaison between the humans, vampires and werewolves, complete with special cool weapons. But then Emma finds the Supe Squad consists of three underwhelming individuals whose only role appears to be appeasement of the Supes, they don't even get to investigate crimes involving supernaturals - they do that themselves.

Then Emma gets brutally attacked while supposedly awaiting her boss in a London churchyard and wakes up lying on a mortuary slab accompanied by flames and a smell of sulphur! At first Emma blames her boss for her 'murder' or at least for setting her up, but when he goes missing too she realises there is something more sinister afoot. Werewolves are disappearing and Emma needs to find out who is responsible, and she'd kind of like to understand who wants her dead.

Although there are a lot of very familiar characters and tropes in this book (enigmatic and charming vampire lord, aggressive werewolf clans, etc) I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fast-paced, funny, intriguing and twisty I didn't spot the individual behind the werewolf disappearances until it was spelt out for me.

First in a new series which looks like being fun and doesn't take itself too seriously, I can't wait to read the next one.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

4.5 stars
Helen Harper is one of my auto read authors. I love everything she has written and almost fainted when I saw she has a new series. Just like some of her previous series Brimstone Bound is set in London and its so nice to be back. The book features an intricate mystery filled with paranormal creatures from werewolves to vampires and another unique heroine that I absolutely adored. Brimstone Bound is another great series by Helen Harper and I am looking forward to book two.

Brimstone Bound by Helen Harper (Firebrand #1) 4.5 stars

This is a start of a new series by Helen Harper. Ms. Harper is the author of several books that I have read or listened to such as - The Lazy Girl''s Guide to Magic and How to Be the Best Damn Faery Godmother in the World (or Die Trying). Those books had a irreverent tone with sassy dialog. Brimstone Bound is more serious in tone with a mystery plot as its main focus. Since this is the first book there is quite a bit of background to set up.

This world accepts the existence of supernaturals - vampires and werewolves and others. Emma Bellamy is a member of the Metropolitan Police Force in London and on her last training rotation before graduation. Instead of going to the cyber crime division, she is sent to the Supernatural Division for her last two week rotation. Her supervisor, Tony, is murdered and the investigation of that murder is the mystery plot. In addition, there is a mystery on who Emma Bellamy is due to an event that happens early in the book. I won't spoil it, but right now there are only listings for this book and the next, Infernal Enchantment. I wonder if two books is enough to resolve the hanging threads. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one.

Thank you Netgalley and Helen Harper for this ARC.

This was a good start to a new UF series by Helen Harper, featuring Emma, a trainee detective who's been doing quite well and is anticipating her final training rotation to be in the department's Cyber Squad where she ultimately hopes to be permanently posted. Instead, she's assigned to the Supernatural Squad, a dead-end posting with a small group of cops charged with policing London's supernatural beings, mainly vamps and shifters who live in a particular part of London. She quickly finds out that the squad is really just window dressing and the supes themselves do all of their own policing. Even worse, on her first day on the job, she's brutally murdered, only to wake up in the morgue, alive but with absolutely no memory of anything that happened since her supposed murder. When she charges off to investigate, she discovers that her crusty supervisor on the squad has also been murdered, in such a way as to seem like a suicide (and he doesn't resurrect as she did).

Now Emma's got to solve both her own murder and her supervisor's all without letting anyone know that she actually died (her body was brought in as a Jane Doe). She quickly acquires the attractive vampire lord of London, who was investigating her assumed murder, as an ally. After this setup, the rest of the plot is like a police procedural with supernatural world building thrown in. It was fast-paced, and kept my interest, and I'm definitely invested in finding out what's behind the mystery of Emma's resurrection. The only thing that didn't make sense to me was Emma's lack of curiosity about how she survived her own murder. I found it hard to believe that she could just ignore all of that and carry on with her investigation anyway. I'm hoping the next book provides some more clues.

This was an incredible book that I for one couldn’t put down. Emma’s story was riveting form the start to the end and it has just begun. I can't wait now for the next installment.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this copy of Brimstone Bound for review.
Alright, this was fun! I started this book after dinner on a Sunday night, and stayed up until midnight to finish it, surely the sign of a good book.

An urban fantasy in the traditional sense of the word (this isn’t erotic urban fantasy), this book focuses on the exploits of a trainee police detective on rotation with London’s Supernatural Squad. Deemed the place where potential goes to die, Emma Bellamy is less than thrilled when she’s assigned to the squad, and even less so when at the end of her first day, she gets her murdered.

Brimstone Bound was fast-paced and additive, and while I did guess at least part of the final mystery, I enjoyed the journey. The world of supernatural focused primarily on Vampires and Werewolves, although it alludes to a greater world, something I assume will be explored further in later books.

I got Dresden Files vibes from this book, as it gave that kind of serialised murder mystery type vibes, although, if I’m being honest, I liked Emma a lot more than Harry Dresden. I enjoyed the relationships between characters in this book (work, friendship, etc) and while I’m hoping that in later books, there might be a romance between our main character and a certain broody vampire, I also appreciated that it seems as if there’s groundwork being laid, so the payoff – if there is one – should be greater.

Basically, if you’re after a good time, you should read this book.

I'm not sure what I was expecting with this one, but it surpassed my initial thoughts. It's a bit of a slow start, but then you're hooked. Fun little read and I will surely be keeping an eye out for future installments. Likable characters, believable world-building = fun escape for a few hours.

I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book starts out with a seemingly normal setting- a couple is going about their daily lives; one in the final stretches of preparing to become a police detective, and the other, an established office worker. They have some issues in their relationship, but don’t seem to be anything they can’t work out. She goes to work in the morning, gets an unexpected posting for her last two weeks, (the supernatural beat) and by night she’s been murdered. But- the murdering business just didn’t stick. She wakes several hours later in the morgue, and that’s where the real story kicks off. Turns out, she’s supernatural too, but nobody knows what kind. So, she has to solve her murder and several others before she can get any peace of mind or hope to complete her certification.

If you’ve read any of the author's previous works, you’re familiar with her ability to write intriguing backstories and worlds, and the ability to keep you guessing. This is definitely one you will enjoy- it’s not as lighthearted as the Lazy Girl's Guide... series, but more like the Highland Magic series. Honestly, I’ve liked just about everything put out so far by this author and will definitely be reading the rest.

Absolutely amazing! I was a little hesitant at first to read. I am a big fan of urban fantasy, but find first person novels hard to relate to. That was not the case this time. Harper did a wonderful job right from the get-go. Emma is a strong female character and I loved the suspense. The ending was amazing and I am fascinated by the secondary characters the the relationships that developed with Emma. I highly recommend this book.

I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.

Emma Bellamy is on her way to becoming a detective, and near the top of her class. All that is left is her last two-week rotation that she hoped would be with cyber crime. However, when she gets her assignment, it is for the dreaded Supernatural Squad, a place where only disgraced officers are sent. Not knowing why she was sent there, she decided to put her full effort into this. What she did not expect was to be brutally murdered on her first day on the job. Yes, murdered. After waking up in the morgue, Emma’s single desire is to find the person responsible for her death and bring him/her to justice. However, this means working with the supernatural community, a group she knows barely anything about.

The book does start off slow and the depiction of the Supernatural Squad at the beginning was almost a turn off, but once Emma is “un-dead,” it starts to take off. I liked her fierceness and how she refused to let anyone (or thing) stand in the way of her seeking justice. Lukas is an intriguing character as the vampire assisting in her investigation. This was a good start to a new series by the author.

4 stars

What a charming first book in a new series. Having read, and loved, other books written by this author I decided to give 'Brimstone Bound' a chance.

I was not disappointed.

This book has a delightful mix of genres; fantasy, suspense, mystery, crime, supernatural. No romance so far, but there is potential.
The romantic aspect, if done right in the following books, could be really good.

Our protagonist, Emma, went through a lot in this book. She has to face mysteries, betrayals, new alliances and enemies, deceptions and her own death.
Honestly that's the main reason why I started this series. A heroine that dies and comes back to life and doesn't know why. Amazing.
And it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what she's supposed to be. The clues were all there!

Emma has lots of potential. She's smart, ambitious, not a dumb teenager and open-minded. I liked that in important situations she's so confident and doesn't let people walk all over her.

I can honestly say that I didn't know who the killer was. It crossed my mind, but I didn't really expect it.

I think this book is an awesome start to the series and I can't wait to read more. This could possibly become one of my favorites series if the next books are this good.

9/10 would recommend

It's been a while since I read any Urban Fantasy, and Brimstone Bound was a great re-introduction to the genre. Harper handled the world building aspects well; I always had enough information when I needed it, to understand how the fantasy elements functioned. Emma Bellamy is a great UF heroine--gutsy yet relatable--and I enjoyed followed her story as she plunged into the world of supernatural investigation. Lukas is a perfect counter for her, and I am keen to see how that relationship will develop during future books. All up, this was a fun and imaginative read that ticked all the UF trope boxes while still feeling fresh and original, and I would certainly be keen to read future installments in the series. A solid 4.5-star rating from me.

A placement away from making detective, Emma is horrified to be assigned the Supernatural Squad. It is a place that cops careers go to die. Emma wasnt expecting that it wasn't just her career that would die. Thankfully, she was resurrected. Now she has her murder solve, to figure out what she is, and solve a few other murders along the way. With the help of an oh so friendly (and hot) vampire, she is hot on the trail of a killer who isnt afraid to murder cops and werewolves. Will she make it in time to prevent another death?
I enjoyed this book. It offers a fresh take on vampire and shifter relations. I also like that we dont know what the make of Emma's abilities. At times, the boom was a bit predictable but that did not stop me from enjoying the book. I look forward to reading the next in the series.

This was an excellent paranormal murder mystery. Emma, a Detective in training, is assigned to the dregs Supe Squad. Werewolve deaths, vampire lord, and Emma is murdered on the first day on the job and comes alive 12 hours later. No being a vampire for her, nope. Unknown non human and now looking for her own killer. This was really good. Twisty's galore. I would recommend this new series to anyone. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book from Netgalley.

I really enjoyed reading this book.I loved the world that has been created and the main character is fab as are some of the other characters.I couldn't read it fast enough,and can only hope the author writes fast as I can't wait for the next book in the series. Best urban fantasy I have read in a while.I love reading thrillers and throw in some supes and you are onto a winner for me for sure. Loved it.

This book is, in a word, riveting. Such a smooth read with a great plot. The characters were well developed. I read this book in a few hours because I couldn't put it down. I loved it. It was beyond intriguing reading about Emma and trying to figure out how she could do what she does. Highly recommend this book.
