A cursed Fox. A vengeful Silver. A whole lot of trouble. Lydia Crow has long suspected there is more beneath London than just trains but has never been keen to poke around in the dark. But when Paul Fox, powerful member of the Fox Family, blackmails her into taking a case, she has no choice. Investigating a suspicious death in a disused tunnel of the London Underground for her ex-boyfriend causes friction between her and DCI Fleet - and not the fun kind.

With the police on her never-mind-the-size butt, two men vying for her attentions, and a mystery wrapped around the murder of her Gran and ex, she has more than enough to keep her stressed and turning prematurely gray.

Once upon a time, I was your average spunky redhead with the lamest employment history ever, a shaky relationship with my only family member, and no idea what I was doing with my life. Now, I'm a pseudo mythic with the best bartending job in the world, the most amazing (and hot) best friends I never knew I needed, and a guild of misfit magic-users who've become my extended family. And I'm about to lose it all. In my desperation to save Ezra, I stumbled into a web of ruthless deception - and seriously pissed off a sleeping hydra.

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.

With the residents no longer inclined to stay in their coffins where they belong, she’s got her hands full making sure everyone follows the rules: In the funeral home, there is no screaming, no murdering, no mutilation, no possessions, no kidnappings, no resurrections, and no cursing of any type. Be quiet and stay polite. The day Old Man McGregor decides to take a walk and disturbs her peace, Anwen learns there’s a lot more to the basement in the funeral home than a vampire and a handsome gentleman on ice.

Unlikable and dull female lead
I really enjoyed reading the Night Raven but by the time I got to the Pearl King I had become fed up of Lydia Crow and her sanctimonious self saboteur attitude. She is happy to send Maria Silver to jail albeit deserved, but the minute she finds herself arrested or her life in danger it’s a different story, yet she happily serves up her Uncle. I found myself not really caring about Lydia and desperate to finish the book which was a shame. Some characters are really interesting Jason, Fleet, Maria Silver, Mr Smith, Paul Fix, but Lydia’s prattling on and stupidity just became too much for me. She is actually quite a dirty girl she seems to have an aversion to washing, tidying up, problems with alcohol and her battle with her conscious instead of being enduring was just annoying. I was actually quite pleased at the points where she got a beating which isn’t a good sign when she is the female lead, I’m returning the rest of the books and I’m not especially interested in purchasing the next book.
