Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Four extraordinary women with amazing psychic talents. A highly specialized team with one purpose: Solve crimes so terrifying they seem out of this world.  U.S. foreign agent Sam Chase has always kept her psychic abilities a secret--until now. Recruited to solve a case so macabre and chilling that it can't be rationally explained, she joins an elite unit with three other young women who rank among the top mediums in the world. But these amazing psychics are definitely no angels. One is a voodoo priestess, another is a witch, and the third has a secret, dangerous past. Like it or not, Sam is part of a new sisterhood--and she's been teamed with Lance "Bear" Rutledge, a sexy forensic investigator who thinks this supernatural stuff is all bunk. Unfortunately he's not only getting under Sam's skin, but he has also started invading her dreams--and her heart. As Sam and Bear combat their forbidden passions, they find themselves fighting for their country and their lives in a battle against the darkest evil of all . . .

Sam has been hoping to transfer to Paris but then gets recruited by the CIA, which she is not happy about. But she doesn’t mind working with Bear. Bear isn’t quite sure what to make of these women that are part of the CIA. He doesn’t quite believe some of the things that are going on in the case that they are working either. But when the two come together they can make sparks fly. I really enjoyed this story with its conspiracy theory deeply imbedded into it. I found the characters to be engaging pulling me into the story and making it a book I couldn’t put down until I finished it. I hope there will be more to the Sisterhood of the Sight and will keep an eye out for it.

Past Redemption by Savannah Russe

Genre: Paranormal Romance; Vampires; Vampire Hunters, The Darkwing Chronicles

Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Scandal. Secrets. Seduction. It's all in the family. If you passed Daphne Urban on the streets of New York, you'd see a sleek young brunette dressed to kill. You'd never know she was a vampire. But the government knows. Their ultimatum: Spy for the United States, or be terminated. And after all these centuries, Daphne is not ready to call it quits . . . The word is out on Susto. It's a new recreational drug that intensities sex, it's spreading like wildfire--and it's lethal. Team Darkwing's mission: Track the drug back to its origin. Immersing themselves in New York City's nightlife, they soon discover ties between Susto's billions in revenue and the country's most powerful political dynasty. To infiltrate the family, Daphne flirts with its weakest link, handsome party boy St. Julien Fitzmaurice, whom she'd love to casually sink her teeth into. But even as their dalliance leads her deeper into the case, Daphne can't stop thinking about Darius, the darkly sexy human she claimed with a passionate bite. He's the bad boy she knows she should--she must--forget, because if she doesn't, she'll be risking not only the mission, but her own heart . . .

This is the second book in the Darkwing Chronicles. Daphne has a new assignment to find out who is behind Susto. But at the same time she is dealing with her broken heart. And it doesn’t help that Darius keeps coming around. I really like Daphne as a character as she is a lot more complex. Also the time flashes of her past where great. Darius made me angry, but then I think that is the point. I like this book and can’t wait to read Beneath the Skin.

Beyond the Pale by Savannah Russe

Genre: Paranormal Romance; Vampires; Vampire Hunters

Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: The government knows that Daphne Urban is a vampire, and they have an ultimatum: spy for them, or be killed. The choice is easy. She can speak 13 languages, has a genius IQ, and has escaped detection for nearly five hundred years-making her perfect for Team Darkwing. Her first mission is to get close to Bonaventure, a shady arms dealer with an unexpected gift for seduction. But when Darius, a darkly sexy vampire slayer, begins chasing her, Darius is torn between desire and duty. For his lithe, young prey is also his ultimate temptation.

This is the first book in the Darkwing Chronicles. Daphne is one of those characters who are very confident in herself. She isn’t all that happy that she is forced into joining Team Darkwing. But at the same time she’s very good at what she does. Darius who is the perfect counter to her just can’t quite handle that she is a vampire. I liked the why this story is written. It keeps you on the edge of your seat with the action that takes place. I enjoyed it a lot, and I’m looking forward to finding out what happens next in Past Redemption.
