The first bok in the Delilah Street series. I liked the book, it definetly is written to be a series. The heroine is smart, witty and feminine. I've been a fan of Carole Nelson Douglas's characters since Midnight Louie. ( )

Like a mix up at the printer accidentally combined a cheesy romance
with what might have been a good urban fantasy on its own.

The beginning of this book is slow and unnecessary. The story doesn't
really start until Delilah arrives in Vegas, and unfortunately the
reason she is drawn to Vegas and unwanted fame is pretty weak. But the
worst part is that this book could have been the start of an
interesting new urban fantasy series if it weren't for the generic,
cheesy, and totally unrelated to anything else romantic side plot with frequent sex breaks.
The romantic tension with Snow and Madrigal was much more intriguing
and promised to develop in future books.

Sexual Content:
A lot. And very lengthy, detailed descriptions each time. ( )

I felt really confused after this book, there were so many things that were skirted around and/or left un-answered. I bought this and the second at the same time, I just hope this one has a few more answer's. Not what I was expecting..... ( )

Enjoyable read ( )

I bought this novel because I thought it would be mystery/detective fiction. WRONG! It is straight out romance.

An ex-television-reporter from Kansas moves to Las Vegas to find out why her body double was featured as a corpse on CSI. Since she is an orphan, could she have had a twin sister? She meets a hot Latin corpse dowser and finds out that she also has some undefined psychic powers, too. She becomes obsessed with the intertwined bodies they discover together in Sunset Park. Although she is black Irish with dark hair, white skin and blue eyes, she acts like a stereotypical blonde -- barging into dangerous situations, charming werewolves and vampires alike. A virgin, she takes to hot, graphic outdoor sex like a nymphomaniac.

Does she find her sister? Does she find out who is the male corpse or why the lovers were killed? Does she find out why the ghoul producer of CSI rents her a cottage and pays her to investigate the couple's death? Does she find out what her inappropriate shaggy dog that she adopts on a whim really is? NO, no, a thousand times no. This is not just the start of an endless series, but not even a standalone book. The author doesn't have the decency to clear up even one mystery that she poses. She just piles on inconsistency on improbability and glues it all together with sex. Very disappointing. ( )
