Nora Hesper is determined to stop the murders that are plaguing New York. A cult, the Children of Phonos, is sacrificing children as part of their dark rituals. Nora's day job as an investigative reporter has her hot on their trail but it is her secret life as Indigo where she wields a dangerous power. As Indigo, Nora is at home in the shadows, seamlessly traveling on hidden paths through the shadows. Can she stop the Children of Phonos? And what dark truths will she discover in the process?
I had mixed thoughts initially starting INDIGO, as the storyline is fascinating but very strange. I wasn't sure where the authors were taking me and it was a bit unsettling at first. Who exactly is Nora/Indigo and why does she have so many disjointed memories? Ahhh... but that's where the heart of the story truly kicks in as the answers to both questions are complex and even a bit disturbing.
I love that the world building of INDIGO digs into various Greek mythologies we don't generally read about. The blending of the Greek mythologies with the more modern idea of superheroes is both intriguing and superbly executed. INDIGO offers us a dark world, kind of a Batman type vigilante story, and I couldn't put it down even as I lost sleep in the wee hours of the night.
What a stunning collaboration from some of my favorite authors in the urban fantasy genre! INDIGO seamlessly weaves together the various writing styles of the authors into a fabulous story that leaves me wanting more. INDIGO is billed as only as a single book collaboration but I hope to see more of Nora Hesper and INDIGO in future books as the story is ripe for sequels.
