Hotter Than Helltown
Publisher Description
Welcome to New York Times Bestselling Author SM Reine's Preternatural Affairs series, for fans of The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles...
A killer is mutilating bodies in Los Angeles. Agent Cèsar Hawke is on the case, but the murderer is ahead of him. Way ahead of him.
Wiping the memories of the dead so that the team’s necrocognitive can’t talk to them? Done. Preventing magical reconstruction of the crime scenes? Oh yeah. And the murders keep getting more brutal while Cèsar struggles to catch up.
The best way to heat up a cold case is to go to Helltown, where Los Angeles’s most powerful evil hides out, but even those demons are afraid of the murderer. Their fear adds one more question to the growing pile of unknowns:
What kind of bad guy is too hot for Helltown?
Customer Reviews
Keeps getting better!
I seldom write positive reviews (negative is more fun!) but this time … I may have to give 5 stars if the stories keep improving. The protagonist is a combination of obtuseness and “street smarts” that is convincing and entertaining. That difficult balance is well-maintained while the author piles on complications and obstacles and keeps the reader guessing. Well, we know our hero somehow will stagger through to the answer in the end, but the path is not obvious. Other characters have their own human (or inhuman) personalities and motivations that move the story forward. Worth checking out!
