DEMON SONG is book 3 in the stellar Blood Singer series
from Cat Adams, who also wrote the Thrall and Sazi series.
The first two books delivered wild rides of suspense and
adventure, and DEMON SONG is no different.
Celia Graves' life has changed dramatically since she got
bit by a vampire. She has to wear scads of sunscreen and
only consume liquid meals. Not only that, but she learned
she's half siren princess, so it's no wonder that her
bodyguard business is thriving. But Celia has much more to
think about than business: like the rift—sealed when
Atlantis disappeared--that threatens to reopen, releasing
all the demons of hell into the world at large.
Celia might have the talents to close the rift, but it
will require her to work with people she no longer trusts
and put those she loves in danger. And even then, she's
fighting against a death curse, and all her efforts might
not be enough.
Cat Adams delivers a story that will keep readers turning
the pages from the outset. The authors combine suspense
and adventure, mix in some heartbreak and romance for
spice and have created a delectable treat for fans of
urban fantasy. Celia is one of my favorite UF characters,
a terrific blend of kickass heroine and a woman with many
of the same problems we all share. We meet many of the
same supporting cast of mages, psychics, vampires and
werewolves, and many of them are further developed in this
installment.
As with most urban fantasy books, the world itself doesn't
require building but the society does, so the authors
focus their efforts on society and the people who live
within it. In Celia's world, (she lives in a fictitious
southern California town) mages and psychics work out in
the open, and vampires and werewolves are considered deadly
and often locked up. She has a number of battles ahead of
her, but readers will enjoy every page. Best news of all
is it seems a book 4 is in the works, if the ending of this
tale is any clue.
In a world where magic is real and the supernatural is
almost normal, bodyguard Celia Graves has survived a
vampire attack which made her a half-vampire and awakened
her latent Siren abilities. She’s battled a Siren Queen to
the death and twice faced down a demon that wants to kill
her--slowly. She’s also had her heart broken--twice--by
her old flame, magician Bruno DeLuca.
Perhaps the worst thing was the discovery that Celia’s
life has been warped by a curse laid on her during
childhood--the cause of everything from the death of her
little sister to the murder of her best friend the same
night that Celia became an Abomination.
An ancient rift between the demonic dimension and our own--
sealed during the destruction of Atlantis--begins to open,
threatening to loose all the demons of hell on humanity
(including the one personally bent on destroying Celia).
Celia’s hellish recent experiences have given her the
unique combination of abilities needed to close the rift.
But to overcome the curse, which nearly guarantees her
failure, she’ll need to join forces with people she no
longer trusts...and put people she has come to care about
directly in harm’s way.
