Fans of Cat Adams's Blood Singer series will devour
THE
ISIS COLLAR in a day like I did. Celia Graves, bodyguard
extraordinaire, is still fighting to balance her vampire
and siren abilities, and now she has to try to save the
world—again!
Responding to a "magical" bomb threat at an elementary
school, Celia tries to warn the principal, but she won't
listen. They got the children out, and there don't seem to
be any residual effects from the bombs except a bruise on
Celia's leg that won't heal and headaches that won't go
away. The bruise turns out to be a zombie plague, and all
the rescued kids will get it if something isn't done soon.
It appears those bombs have impacted memories as well.
Celia definitely has her work cut out and with the help of
her boyfriends, Bruno Deluca and John Creed, she just might
succeed. But then, John creed goes missing. And as if that
isn't enough for poor Celia to deal with, her mother has
escaped the Sirens' island and has gone AWOL as well.
While the title is THE ISIS COLLAR, this particular
artifact doesn't appear until late in the story, but rest
assured, it will turn up, and it definitely has meaning.
Cat Adams fourth installment in the Blood Singer
series
zings along at a breakneck pace.
Filled with action, subtle
romance and threats from all sides, it's a fabulous urban
fantasy romp. Readers get reacquainted with Celia, Bruno,
John and Donna; there are some new enemies in the mix.
Adams introduce a new type of religion and a new--and not
real thank goodness—disease as well. I do recommend
starting this series at the beginning with Blood Song or
you'll find out things before you may want to. Fans of
Faith Hunter, Jim Butcher and other fast-paced and magic-
filled fantasies will enjoy this one.
Celia Graves was once an ordinary human, but those days are
long gone. Now she strives to maintain her sanity and her
soul while juggling both vampire abilities and the powers of
a Siren.
Warned of a magical “bomb” at a local elementary school,
Celia forces an evacuation. Oddly, the explosion seems to
have no effect, puzzling both Celia and the FBI. Two weeks
later, a strangely persistent bruise on Celia’s leg turns
out to be the first sign of a magical zombie plague.
Finding the source of the plague isn’t Celia’s only concern.
Her alcoholic mother has broken out of prison on the Sirens’
island; her little sister’s ghost has possessed a young
girl; and one of Celia’s boyfriends, a powerful mage, has
disappeared.
