Lou, the last of the jinn, survives by hiding her abilities after the rest of the elementals fell victim to genocide. As a preternatural pest control expert and self-proclaimed guardian of the innocent, she’s accustomed to trudging through the dregs of society. Hunting down a pesky murderer should be easy, especially with help from a dashing local media darling and a tantalizing Scottish vampire whose motives are a mystery. For Lou, though, nothing is ever simple. When she discovers the killer’s identity, to reveal it would unearth her secret and go against her strict moral code, resulting in a deadly catch twenty-two. Editorial Reviews “Lou Hudson brings a whole new level to the words ‘kick-ass urban fantasy heroine’. She is strong, she is likable, she is different enough from her contemporaries to be considered unique – plus she has some cracking side-kicks who make the Scooby gang look like amateurs on a day out at the fair.” ~ The Urban Book Thief “Lou Hudson is an amazing main character. She’s strong and resilient, both physically and mentally. Readers will be enchanted by her personality from the beginning.” ~ L. S. Murphy, author of Pixelated “So, what do I like most about this novel? It’s a toss-up between the characters and the world building. The story world is enthralling.” Lolly Tova, author of Secret Yearning less
