Brush up on your Greek pantheon, you'll need it to keep everyone straight through this nice action packed romance. This book is well written and has a good plot with some interesting characters and some twists. The title comes from the name of the tattoo shop Nix has just inherited from her uncle Memphis. Nix is a Nereid, a sea nymph, daughter of Nereus. The Nereids are also dispensers of justice when they don the mantle of the" Destroyer". After they complete a mission like that, Nereus  wipes their memories so they don't have to remember what violence they dished out while they were on a mission. Nix disagrees with her father's policy and  is the only one of his children who will argue with him and who insists on earning her own money and paying her own way. Nix's shop also guards an entrance to the underworld and dead bodies have been turning up every morning by her dumpster, missing their souls. Hades is getting ticked off.Worried about his child, Nereus has asked for a guard to shadow Nix, and Cal volunteered for the job. Cal has been in love with Nix for over a hundred years, but since her memory was wiped, she doesn't remember. After a few attacks by different species ( cyclops, harpys), all looking for some "seal" some serious research is called for. Cal calls in his markers, Nix calls in her friends, and the plot thickens.Heat factor moderate.
