Title: Dark Currents
Author: Jacqueline Carey
Series: Agent of Hel #1
Synopsis:”The Midwestern resort town of Pemkowet boasts a diverse population:
eccentric locals, wealthy summer people, and tourists by the busload; not to
mention fairies, sprites, vampires, naiads, ogres and a whole host of eldritch
folk, presided over by Hel, a reclusive Norse goddess.
To Daisy Johanssen, fathered by an incubus and raised by a single mother, it’s home. And as Hel’s enforcer and the designated liaison to the Pemkowet Police Department, it’s up to her to ensure relations between the mundane and eldritch communities run smoothly.
But when a young man from a nearby college drowns—and signs point to eldritch involvement—the town’s booming paranormal tourism trade is at stake. Teamed up with her childhood crush, Officer Cody Fairfax, a sexy werewolf on the down-low, Daisy must solve the crime—and keep a tight rein on the darker side of her nature. For if she’s ever tempted to invoke her demonic birthright, it could accidentally unleash nothing less than Armageddon. “

Review: Dark Currents is
a wonderful new urban fantasy from one of my favorite fantasy authors. Several reviewers have been comparing Dark Currents to the author’s previous
novels, the Kushiel series. This is
unfair. While those novels were also
wonderful, please keep in mind that this is a completely new series and a very
different genre. Jacqueline Carey has
created an awesome world where paranormal characters exist in a setting much
like our own world.
Daisy’s life is caught
between the two worlds and this has made her life hard. When a student shows up dead Daisy has a
mystery to solve, before it’s too late. Sexy
werewolves and ghouls, with an engaging cast of characters made Dark Currents a super fun read. I highly recommend it to fans of urban
fantasy.
