Psychic agent Nola O'Grady is a member of secret government
agency dating back to the Cold War. When her boss tells her
via trance communiqué that she is expected to babysit
Israeli secret agent Ari Nathan, supposedly a rep from
Interpol, she reluctantly does her duty. It is bad enough
she is back in her hometown of San Francisco, close enough
for her mother to drive her nuts (not that she doesn't
appreciate the other members of her family, mostly) without
having an arrogant good-looking man thrown into the mix. The
O'Grady family has been known for generations to have
psychic gifts and other powers. Teenaged Michael has even
been trying to transform himself into a were change, hoping
that is his gift, perhaps in reaction to the loss of their
brother, Patrick, who was shot in wolf form. Her family is
more than willing to do what they can to help (except for
her mother, of course). Nola would eagerly accept any help
on offer, if only that didn't mean putting them in the line
of fire.
Agent Nathan is in town trailing a killer who is targeting
people with silver bullets. He is beyond skeptical about
anything paranormal and is just as reluctant to be working
with a psychic agent as Nola is to have him around. But
silver bullets could mean his case has a slant that places
it within Nola's agency's jurisdiction, particularly when
Nola discovers all the victims were suspected weres.
Katherine Kerr is known for her Deverry Series
reaching from Daggerspell in the mid 1980s to The
Silver Mage in 2009. With LICENSE TO ENCORCELL she
brings her honed and polished skills as a storyteller to the
genre of Urban Fantasy with fantastic results. Combining her
gift for creating memorable characters with a quirky sense
of humor she leads us into a suspenseful and exciting plot
with hints of romance and loads of offbeat otherworldly
elements. This first in the Nola O'Grady series promises a
fun and funky ride and I have to tell you I can't wait for
book two!
Psychic Agent Nola O'Grady isn't sure returning to San
Francisco, and living near her unusual family, is a good
idea. Her job, with a psychic agency so obscure even the
CIA doesn't know it exists, can be perilous, and she's
afraid of the relatives getting involved.
Then the Agency saddles her with Israeli secret agent Ari
Nathan, and she has a bigger problem on her hands, because
tact and compromise are not Ari's strong points. Their
mission is to track down a serial killer obsessed with
werewolves. He sees them everywhere and shoots whenever he
thinks he has one in his sights. Ari assumes the man's
psychotic, but in truth he's murdering actual werewolves.
Nola should know. Her younger brother Pat, a lycanthrope,
was the first victim.
Can Nola's psychic talents and Ari's skill with guns keep
them alive long enough to unravel the greater mystery
behind the killings? Can they save the werewolves and the
world while stopping Nola's family from running headlong
into danger?
Dear Ms Kerr, Loved the Deverry series. On your wild ride from 9th & Judah to, say, Mission & Persia you sure took a lot of detours. Just started the book can't wait to see where else you go.
Born in San Francisco. (Cliff Fitting 2:10pm March 8, 2011)
