The walking dead never looked so good!
And what a ways she has with her blades and bike! This was a fast paced, demon hunting trip to save Liberty. I love that the woman was the "hero" of the story unlike the normal man riding in on a white horse. This time our hero was a woman riding on a partially alive motorcycle. It also brought a few new sides of our heroine out that she wasn't aware of. I'll not ruin the surprise here, but just know I was as shocked as she! And now a bit about the story...
Laney is new to Liberty, Oakwood. Between rescuing herself from a werewolf and later killing him, she found Troy - the police office who she fell for quickly. Except in her line of work she usually ran from the law. So before the rest of his squad could get there, she split. Only to run into the next day after setting a few souls free... see Laney is a reaper. Though she doesn't kill people, she does set the dead's soul free. Can she really make it work with someone who is set on protecting people and saving every life possible? What's worse is a demon is headed to town and his threat may split them in two...
Favorite passages:
- Troy believed in respecting a woman. Treating her like a princess. But that didn’t mean it was all rainbows and unicorns.
- “Oh, it gets worse.” ... “Not the words I want to hear.” “Suck it up, buttercup.” I shrugged. [Laney says to the big bad Reilly - love the use of "buttercup" to describe the captain!]
- We were on a dude-in-distress, white knight rescue, horse not required. I opened the throttle and the town became a blur.

Explosively dangerous and hot!
Great start to a new series. We meet the main characters as they encounter each other for the first time. The heroine is funny, blunt, sexy, and scary all bundled into one. The hero is protective, tall, muscled, and sexy. Together they make an explosive pair!! And now a bit about the story...
Laney had just arrived at the local after hours cop shop, she found this the best place to scope out the next job. But she didn't want to attrack any attention, so when she saw the young, sexy, and attentive cop she headed out. She headed thru the alley to the side street where her bike waited. The Lycan that left in front of her was of no worry to her, but of course the attentive cop didn't know that. As her as the Were were getting their punches in, he came running to the rescue. At least for now...
Favorite passages:
- No, I was looking for Detective Young and Driven, with Something to Prove.
- Sometimes a new Reaper can’t adjust and they go nutso. When that happens you have to go hunt that sucker and revoke his Reaper card.
- “Come into the parlor, said the spider to the fly.” Already through the door ahead of him, she shot a glance over her shoulder. “Are you sure you’re the spider? Or the fly?”
- “My dad always told me that a good hunter chases, but a great hunter waits for the prey to come to him.”
- He’d known her all of three hours, still wasn’t sure what she was, but one thing he did know… He’d do anything to bind her to him, to keep her at his side forever.
- My breathing roared in my ears again. How frigging loud does that seem when you’re trying to hear something as quiet as a mouse fart three rooms away?

Mina was born and raised in the East Farthing of Middle Earth (otherwise known as the Midlands, England) and spend her childhood learning all the sorts of things generally required of a professional adventurer. Able to ride, box, shoot, make and read maps, make chainmail and use a broadsword (with varying degrees of efficiency) she was disgusted to find that adventuring is not considered a suitable occupation these days.
So, instead of slaying dragons and hunting vampires and the like, Mina spends her days writing about hot shifters, government conspiracies and vampire lords with more than their fair share of RAWR. Turns out wanna-be adventurers have quite the turn of imagination after all...
(But she keeps that sword sharp, just in case the writing career is just a dream and she really *is* an adventurer.)
The boring part: A full time author and cover artist, Mina can usually be found hunched over a keyboard or graphics tablet, frantically trying to get the images and words in her head out and onto the screen before they drive her mad. She's addicted to coffee and would like to be addicted to chocolate, but unfortunately chocolate dislikes her.
