Coreene Callahan
From Amazon bestselling author Coreene Callahan comes a spellbinding novel about a woman born to stand in the breach between parallel worlds where revolution is imminent, honor means little, and the stakes are life and death.
Truly Langford-Bardot has spent her life pretending to be normal. No one knows about the monsters that stalk her sleep, or that she was left inside a cardboard box on the steps of a church as a newborn. Raised in foster care on the tough streets of Philadelphia, she learned to take care of herself and trust no one.
After being forced out of her dream job, she's working a dead-end one when a mysterious stranger arrives with proof she's heiress to a Victorian mansion in a ramshackle neighborhood. But upon entering her new home, Truly accidentally unlocks a door to a magical realm, releasing an ancient evil from its prison-along with a dark family secret.
Hunted by those who rule the mirror kingdom, Truly comes face-to-face with Westvane, the queen's slayer, and is given an ultimatum-help him recapture the monster she set free and kill the queen, or be executed for opening a portal to another world.

I have read and enjoyed the Dragon Fury Series by Ms. Callahan, so when I saw this new book that was the beginning of a new series, I thought, "why not?"
This new series introduces us to two new characters - Truly - who is a woman, raised in foster care, living as a private investigator. And Westvane or West, who we learn little by little, has been kept captive by a Queen and who holds another title....that of Slayer.
We get to meet the two of them when Truly comes of age and learns that for a mortal who had never ever known any different - she is NOT human. She is, in fact, a Door Master - and that means she is a threat to the current queen of another realm. The queen has exterminated Truly's entire family line, yet somehow Truly was sheltered and therefore allowed to live and grow up.
When West is sent after Truly, they both realise that they have reasons to work together. There are also things going on in the world that are being shown to the reader, but there is still more that we do not yet understand.
This was a fun and easy read. It was east to like both Truly and West, while at the same time rooting against the Queen.
I am definitley interested in the storyline and will be eager to continue to book 2.
Interesting beginning.....
