Glimmer of the Other

An Urban Fantasy Novel (The Other Realm, Book 1)

De: Heather G. Harris

Narrado por: Alyse Gibbs

I can tell when you’re lying. Every. Single. Time.

I’m Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill - but let’s face it, it’s not normal. You’d think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven’t been able to track down my parents' killers.

When I’m hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar - yet my gut tells me there’s more to this case than a party girl gone wild. Firstly, she’s a bookish soul who’s as likely to go off the rails as Mother Theresa. Secondly, I’m not the only one on her trail; she’s also being tracked by the implacable and oh-so-sexy Inspector Stone.

Stone and I team up, and he shoves me into a realm where magic is real – a place where there are vampires and werewolves, dragons and trolls. And where my skills are more than just detecting lies…

Oh, and my dog? He’s a freaking hellhound who can manipulate the magical realms themselves.

I need to find the girl. I need to discover who killed my parents. And I need to find out more about the attractive but mysterious Zachary Stone…

Great Urban Fantasy Novel

This was my first experience with Heather G. Harris' work, and I enjoyed it very much. I thought the realm of magic that she created was inventive and interesting. I enjoyed the complex characters that populated the story. I was entertained by the different fantastical creatures that appeared in her tale. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I recommend this book to others who enjoy this genre. Alyse Gibbs' narration was great and added to the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Promising start to a new series

The author did a great job creating a fascinating magical system and characters that I am already invested in. I can’t wait to hear what happens next.

Really loved the book & narrator!

The book is fast-paced with great characters and writing and the narrator does it justice!

Enjoyed this book

I enjoyed the story and the narration was excellent. It is light ready that kept you wondering about whet would come next. I will be reading the next book.

Unique, complex and well written

I was very pleased and surprised at the depth and complexity of the magical world this author has created. There are elements to this magical world that I've never seen before, which is quite a trick to pull off to someone who's been reading fantasy and sci-fi for more than 50 years. This is a very unique and satisfying book. The book also has well developed characters, and the main female character is very easy to like and respect. The dialogue is witty without falling into cheap snark, and the main male and female leads have a tentative interest in each other that may or may not develop into a relationship. The relationship angle does not get in the way of the plotline of the story. The hellhound is fabulous, we'd all want one. Lots of different types of magical beings, and a complex plot happening in an unusual magical world. This book has all the good stuff.
