Maddy Nitecliff has found herself in a rather strange situation. After making a wish on Midsummer's Eve, she finds herself inundated with the supernatural. Apparently she has triggered an ancient legacy to be the ultimate crime solver for the paranormal realm in and around London. But she isn't alone in this life changing experience. The shape-shifting dragon, Bahlin, has appointed himself her guardian and teacher, doing his best to guide her and ease her way into her new life.But Bahlin has more than just a little crush on Maddy, which only complicates their professional relationship. As he tries to show her his true feelings, he only seems to be making things worse when a spree of murders strikes the paranormal realm. Maddy finds herself on the case, with Bahlin at her side. She needs to find the murderer, stay alive, and figure out who she can really trust, because this time the entire world could be at stake.As one of the books with a mystery aspect that I didn't guess the answer to within a couple chapters, this book scored major points. The story was so involving that I found myself following the characters instead of trying to predict what they would do or find solutions to their problems. Much like real people, they were a bit unpredictable. The way the paranomal world overlapped and meshed with then normal world as we know it was fantastic. The variety of creatures encountered kept me constantly wondering what I would get to see next.There was a good chunk of romance, and it was done very well. Maddy was not the kind of person to let just anyone take her to bed. It was refreshing to see such a strong female role played out in a romance.4/5
