Publisher Description
It takes a killer to stop a killer.
Retired DEA agent Robert King has a thriving PI business in New Orleans—and one promise to keep. He must help his niece, Louie, use her supernatural abilities to rid the world of monsters, without becoming a monster herself.
But King plays by the rules of law and order, and Louie does not.
So when Louie discovers a serial killer who is actively hunting a young woman, King knows he has only one chance to keep his promise to his dead wife. He must convince Louie to take the man alive and seek justice for the families he's already destroyed.
Melandra Durand has worked hard for the life she has. As the owner of an occult shop in the French Quarter, her days were filled with palm readings and souvenir sales until an unorthodox PI moved in next door. It doesn't help that King employs a dangerous young woman who attracts dangerous company—jeopardizing both Mel's safety and sanity.
Then Mel's husband is released from prison, and the real nightmare begins.
More than one woman's life is on the line and the clock is ticking…

Customer Reviews
Kory Never Disappoints
I initially read the 6th story and then the first 3 followed by this one. I really like Kory’s other books. They are different and what I especially like in this series is the character development. Some series fall down badly because their characters never ‘move on’ and are the same old people in each story. This to me makes a lot of long series ‘unreadable’ after the first few books.
Kory doesn’t have this problem. She keeps the interest and drive going through each book. She also comes up with some surprises each time to keep you on your toes. Don’t know where Kory gets all her ideas from, but maybe Lou is her alter ego. I’ll keep watching the shadows.
Onward to book 5 and hopefully the new 2063 novel coming soon.
Louie Thorne
Loved it
Another great read
Another great Lou Thorne book, I was lucky enough to be given an advanced reader copy of this book to read and review, I was not disappointed.
Well written as always.
There are some shocking and unexpected twists in this story, if you’ve read the other books in this series then you may know the characters well, or do you?
I think that Kory is an excellent writer and I look forward to many more stories in this series.
If you like these books then you will also love her other books.
