Beschreibung des Verlags
She's the new head of the Underworld Detection Agency's strangest division. What a nightmare. . .
Being a human immune to magic helped Sophie Lawson get promoted. It's also made her a major, very reluctant player in a game that stretches beyond even the Underworld. Having handsome buttoned-down Englishman Will as her new guardian is one tempting blessing, especially since sexy fallen angel Alex is mysteriously MIA lately. But as a frightening number of demons start disappearing around the city, Sophie suspects that an Armageddon-level prophecy is about to become everyone's nightmare. And her investigation is testing her bravery--and Will's unexpected vulnerability--in ways neither could predict. Now Sophie and Will are fast running out of time as an unstoppable evil prepares to lay waste to demons and humans alike. . .
Praise for Hannah Jayne's Under Attack
"This urban fantasy tale smartly balances riveting action with wonderful light touches. . .New readers and returning fans will find it entirely accessible and enjoyable." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jayne continues to delight with the quick and amusing third Underworld Detection Agency novel (after Under Attack). Sophie Lawson is the only human case worker at the UDA and the secret holder of the Vessel of Souls. This time she has to find out why her boss is acting strangely and whether it's related to the recent murders of various supernatural creatures, including two who visited the Agency. New readers will find this an accessible entry to the series, while fans will enjoy the return of Sophie's coworker Nina, a fashion-obsessed vampire who's decided to write vampire romances, and Nina's nephew, Vlad, now Sophie's immediate superior at the Agency and still obsessed with the Vampire Empowerment and Restoration Movement. Sophie also gets time to moon over both of her love interests: hunky fallen angel Alex Grace and handsome human Guardian Will Sherman. Sophie, neither supermodel nor hapless ditz, has a clunky charm that perfectly matches the vivid, funny setting.
