I'm no stranger to the paranormal romance category, but this one was a whole new ball game for me. Devil's Gate is a great quick read, and a trip into a new world very similar to ours with just a few of the mythology characters we have heard of since forever.Medusa Seremela Telemar is quite shy and more comfortable in her professional setting as a coroner, but her sister has called her to go find her wild child niece, Vetta. She is determined that this will be the last time she jumps when her sister calls. When she emails her new bosses that she needs time off for a family emergency, she has no idea they will send her some help in the form of sexy Vampyre Duncan Turner.Duncan has had his eye on Seremela, but when he finds out she needs help he is not going to stand by and let her go deal with it alone. When he hears that her destination is Devil's Gate he takes over this mission to go get Vetta. From the moment they leave Miami, Duncan and Seremela are fighting their sexual attraction to each other, and when they get to DG they have to put all that on hold due to the crazy lawlessness of the area and the trouble Vetta has landed herself in. They have to focus on getting all of them out alive.Seremela has never had someone want all of her. They have always been a little weary of her friends coming out of her head. You guest it right as a medusa she has bunches of long snakes coming out of the top of her head. She doesn't know how to take Duncan; because not only is he not scared of her snakes he likes them and allows them to touch him often.Thea Harrison did a great job of creating a world that seemed so real, I didn't find my self rolling my eyes at the mythical elements. They were presented in a way that made you feel like it would be normal to have your lawyer be a Vampyre. I really enjoyed this book. I hope y'all like it as much as I did.
