A deliciously dark little stand alone novella from Lisa which I absolutely loved! I'd love to read more set in this world.Tegan survived a brutal attack which has haunted her ever since, she has learned to keep quiet about her experience as she knows telling the truth just makes her look insane. However, when her attacker resurfaces she knows she will need help to get to the bottom of what is going on once and for all. Hiring Gabe seems like the perfect solution, his advert says he is a Private Investigator who specializes in the paranormal, she doesn't have anything to lose. Gabe uses his day job as a PI to build contacts and leads to aid him in his destiny as a Demon Slayer. Working closely together proves to be a test of wills, we have two very stubborn personalities and as they get to know one each other the sparks really begin to fly. The case proves to have a little more to it than they initially thought and they get further pulled into a world where prophecies exist, myths have basis in facts and family bloodlines have great importance.It's hard to say which part I enjoyed more - the mythology or the characters themselves. The origins of the Demons and slayers was fascinating and the emotion and tension between Tegan and Gabe was palpable and I was firmly in their corner. This was a thoroughly enjoyable tale that I could re-read time and time again!
