Publisher's summary

A werewolf killer. A paranormal murder. How many times can Emma Bellamy cheat death?

I’m one placement away from becoming a fully fledged London detective. It’s bad enough that my last assignment before I qualify is with Supernatural Squad. But that’s nothing compared to what happens next.

Brutally murdered by an unknown assailant, I wake up 12 hours later in the morgue - and I’m very much alive. I don’t know how or why it happened. I don’t know who killed me. All I know is that they might try again.

Werewolves are disappearing right, left, and centre.

A mysterious vampire seems intent on following me everywhere I go.

And I have to solve my own vicious killing. Preferably before death comes for me again.

SUPer good writing as always

the combination of this author and narrator is magic. I first discovered these ladies with the audio book "Wraith." I loved it immediately.
this book takes supernatural to another level, one filled with interesting characters and a riveting story line. I enjoy supernatural and fantasy but many books contain war and excessive violence. I will look for a second, hopefully, in this series. thank you, Helen Harper and Ruth Urquhart for a wonderful creation.

I enjoyed it a lot

I enjoyed this book a lot. While being a supernatural book, there wasn’t a lot of what normally goes along with them like vamps biting, wolves shifting, mates and what not. Surprise twist at the end was also pretty fun!

Not bad

It’s not bad but can get long winded at times. I will continue the series though

Has potential

These story is intriguing and while I didn’t see who her murderer was till the end (yea for the surprise), the reason was lacking.
This book has potential, I do wish the 2 main murderers who were unrelated didn’t have basically the same motive - jealousy - although the details vary, it boils down to that imo.
Narrator did a good job.

Interesting concept

The overall story was a bit repetitive and a tad predictable but the potential is there and rather intriguing. I'll definitely give the second book a listen.

Different and very good

Even though some of Emma's traits have seemed a bit annoying to me, the whole story was very good. I am not a fan of the accent, but given that the story takes place in London, one couldn't do without it, I guess.

I've liked the different approach to the werewolves & vampire universe, and the new element of crime story.

I am a bit confused as to why nobody seems not to be able to guess what Emma is... there aren't many creatures with that particular ability after all, are there. Well, mythology anyone?!

whatever, great book, very good narration!

Finally!

Finally, there is a book series out there that can hold my attention till the very end. Going along with Dartanian in her adventures is thrilling. I cannot wait to see what the next book in the series will have for me.

Entertaining supe story

Good plot line with several twists you won't see coming. Narrator was good and easy to listen to.

Loved!

Helen Harper has done it again! I hope there will be more adventures for Emma to come!

Great series so far

I decided to purchase this audible because it was on sale I actually like the series so far it wasn’t like other series where it is easy to guess who was the culprit etc. I also love series book instead of single finish because to me it’s more enjoyable to follow a single character through each book there wasn’t much romance in the first book but it us supposed to be slow burn as the synopsis stated I was able to finish this in a day I just wished the audible lasted a little longer
