As well as being a homicide detective for the small town
police force of Beaulac, Louisiana, Kara Gillian works with
FBI Special Agents Ryan Kristoff and Zachary Garner on a
multi-jurisdictional task force that deals with white collar
crimes and financial malfeasance... and also anything that
has a paranormal or supernatural flavor.
Demon Lord Rhyzkahl saved Ryan's life in exchange for being
summoned to answer a question of Gillian's choice each moon
cycle, and being allowed to remain on the Earth plane for
the night. The last thing she expected was that Rhyzkahl
would mostly spend the time watching TV, surfing the
internet, and blowing her socks off with some of the best
orgasms of her life. The sexual part of the equation makes
any budding relationship with Ryan beyond the job a bit
problematic, but there are bigger issues at stake.
When an up and coming Goth band called Ether Madhouse
receives odd demon-related threats on its website, the FBI
task force is called in. Sure enough, the band's lead singer
Lida Moran is grabbed off stage by an infernal beast, but
rather than a demon it is some form of magical construct, a
golem of sorts. Lila and the band manager's reactions raise
suspicions regarding the legitimacy of the threat, but if
it was a publicity stunt, who among those connected to the
band has the power to create such an elemental beast?
Diana Rowland has built a fascinating and compelling urban
fantasy series, with main character Kara as tough as she
needs to be yet vulnerable enough to be realistic. SECRETS
OF THE DEMON is book three in the Kara Gillian Demon
Summoner series, and I hope there will be many more.
Homicide detective Kara Gillian has a special talent: she
can sense the "arcane" in our world, and there's quite a
bit of it, even in Beaulac, Louisiana. She's also a
summoner of demons, and works on a task force that deals
with supernatural crimes. Her partners are attractive and
smart FBI agents, but they're not summoners, and they're
not telling Kara why they are on this special force with
her.
TO make things worse, Kara has pledged herself to one of
the most powerful of demons-a Demon Lord-who helped save
her partner's life, but now expects things in return.
Meanwhile, she's trying to solve a string of murders that
are somehow tied together by money, sex, rock music
and...mud. But how can she concentrate on the case when
she's not even sure who-or what-her partners are?
