"The Pemkowet Visitors Bureau has always promoted paranormal tourism--even if it has downplayed the risks (hobgoblins are unpredictable). It helps that the town is presided over by Daisy Johanssen, who as Hel's liaison is authorized by the Norse goddess of the dead to keep Pemkowet under control. Normally, that's easier to do in the winter, when bracing temperatures keep folks indoors. But a new predator is on the prowl, and this one thrives on nightmares. Daisy is on her trail and working intimately with her partner and sometime lover from the Pemkowet PD, sexy yet unavailable werewolf Cody Fairfax. But even as the creature is racking up innocent victims, a greater danger looms on Pewkowet's horizon. As a result of a recent ghost uprising, an unknown adversary--represented by a hell-spawn lawyer with fiery powers of persuasion--has instigated a lawsuit against the town. If Pemkowet loses, Hel's sovereignty will be jeopardized, and the fate of the eldritch community will be at stake. The only one who can prevent it is Daisy--but she's going to have to confront her own worst nightmare to do it"--… (more)

Great fun read I literally stayed up until two in the morning to finish.

Even though I haven't read the earlier books I the series there was enough"remember when"material to get me up to speed without it being to annoying.

This is the kind of magic I can dig. It's got rules, and a logical basis behind it that makes it easy to swallow.

The characters are what you'd expect from this author without being repetitive. There's a rainbow of real people in here.

Now I've got to backtrack and start with book one.
Recommended to anyone who thought the book blurb sounded fun. ( )

Pretty good wrap to the series. ( )

Really, really sorry to be saying goodbye to Daisy Johannsen. ( )

All in all it is a decent pop-corn read, but it will likely be moving on to the used book shop. ( )

I hope this isn't the end of this series, although it seemed like it could be. ( )
