(ARC received from Literati Author Services in exchange for an honest review)Bohemian is a Paranormal Romance but it's not all fangs and bloodsucking. It's a gritty and intense storyline which is a rare find in today's PNR genre. Don't get me wrong I like fangs and bloodsucking but it makes a refreshing change for that part of it to take a back seat to the actual storyline and plot.Ingrid is an investigator for Scotland Yard and may or may not cross the line while investigating to get results. Now in one respect I like Ingrid. She's independent and does what she needs to get the job done and has no apologies for it. On the other hand I wanted to scream at her to STOP on numerous occasions because she just wouldn't listen to anyone and she was so pig headed. I'm sure I've acquired a few more grey hairs!I love the way that Vanessa has managed to pull me in to the story and keep me engaged until the last page. I couldn't put the book down and I even read into the early hours. As a British reader it makes a nice change to read a book with British sayings, it felt as though I was listening to my friends chatting. It really did bring the book to life for me. The twists in the storyline were completely unexpected and I didn't see the ending coming. Like I said it was a refreshing read on a gritty level.
