Fantasy Urban
Known for her Hex series, Linda Wisdom ventures into darker
urban-fantasy waters that still sparkle with plenty of
humor. Maggie O'Malley is a witch and a member of the Hellion
Guard. The Guard has been her family since getting kicked
out of the Witches' Academy eons ago. Its mission is to stay
under the radar and protect both paranormal beings and
humans, which can get a little messy if you are pursuing a
being which can explode at will. Declan is a half-demon with the gift of fire. He fought and
earned the right to own and manage Damnation Ally, the club
built right on top of a gate to and from the underworld. A
nice guy, he literally went through hell while being raised
by his nasty demon dad. At last he is in a position to
control his own destiny, and help those who have become dear
to him. He is not pleased when the club's new décor is
covered with Bloater goo. Although the witch who tackled it
is very intriguing, even while covered in slime. A rebellious throw-away teen is the focus of a group whose
goal is summoning an ancient evil to destroy the earth. Yes,
she's a pain in the ass, but she does not deserve being used
as a human sacrifice. It's up to the Hellion Guard to keep
the Mayan cult's dreams from coming true. DEMONS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND has plenty of romance and
passion woven through a well-built and fascinating world.
Declan is hot, Maggie is willing and things get
complicated in the best sort of way. Linda Wisdom has the gift of creating strong paranormal
characters with a concrete sense of reality and plenty of
interest to build upon in future installments. She also has
a knack for crafting laugh-out-loud funny scenes and
dialogue. Reading any of her books is a delightful escape
from the hum-drum daily grind.
SUMMARY
A Bewitching Woman on a Mission... Feisty witch Maggie enjoys her work as a paranormal law
enforcement officer - that is, until she's assigned to
protect a teenager with major attitude and plenty of Mayan
enemies. Maggie's never going to survive this assignment
without the help of a half-fire demon who makes her
smolder... A Hotter-Than-Sin Hero with an Agenda... Declan is proprietor of an underground club and busy demon
portal. No way he'll allow his demon race to be blamed for
the malicious acts of some crazy evil Mayans. But he's
already got his hands full when the sexy witch offers him
a challenge he can't refuge... Amidst the rising flames of their steamy love affair,
Maggie and Declan are damned if they do, and even more
damned if they don't...
