Review - Edmund, Accountant of the Night by Angel Martinez
My rating: 
Edmund has been on the run from Hunters for a long time. The Hunters are single-minded in their pursuit of magical beings, whom they tear apart when they catch them. It’s not like Edmund is a danger to anyone. He may be a vampire, but he’s a vampire fruit bat. The only thing he sucks the life out of is ripe fruit. In desperation, Edmund flees to Mereston, although he’s not sure he will be welcomed even there.
Review - Geoffrey the Very Strange by Angel Martinez
My rating:
Aspic recently moved to Merseton where he works in the local herb shop. He’s suddenly alone at the counter one day when Geoffrey the Very Strange walks in the door. That’s not his real full name, but it’s what everyone in the village calls him. Geoffrey may be odd, with his attempt to practice necromancy without blood magic, but there’s something Aspic finds endearing about the young man. Geoffrey also finds the pink-haired half demon alarmingly attractive, but necromancers don’t have friends, let alone boyfriends.

Review - By Imperial Decree by Angel Martinez
My rating:
Marsh is effectively the master mechanic for Bremen Station. He's the guy they call when just about anything breaks down. It keeps things interesting, but sadly that's the only part of his life that has any activity. Although he gets along well with just about everyone, for the most part, his only social interaction outside of work is an on-line book club where he shares opinions with a few anonymous regulars.

The Hunt for Red Fluffy by Angel Martinez
My rating:
When a stray hellcat - a creature only a demon can posses - appears on the station where the Brimstone has stopped, it’s obvious to just about everyone except Shax that it’s a trap, but he takes possession of the beast anyway. Thus begins a quite literal cat and mouse game as the demon prince and his crew try to outrun and outmaneuver the criminal gang out to capture them.

Review - No Fae is an Island by Angel Marinez
My rating:
Diego’s three year exile among the “wild fae” of the Otherworld is coming to an end, but as he and Finn prepare to return to the human world, Diego wonders if there’s still a place for him there. They might offer him his old job back as Consul in the Fae embassy, but he’s not sure he wants it. The human world has moved on since Diego was gone. Some countries accept the Fae and magically-affected humans as equals, while others seem them as demons and lock them up, or worse.

My rating:
Former marine sergeant Zach is settling into his new role as the chief of security for the Fae embassy to the human world. His main challenge is fending off the advances of the ambassador, Prince Lugh. It isn’t that Zach isn’t attracted to the prince, but the young man is basically a one-man kind of guy, and the Fae aren’t exactly known for monogamous relationships. But things are about to get more complicated, as magic flows back into the human world, resulting in strange happenings and hints of dark forces.

Review - Diego by Angel Marinez
My rating:
Building a solid relationship between a human and a Irish fairy was never going to be easy. When Diego misinterprets a situation he finds Finn in, his anger opens a hole in the veil which has kept the human and fae worlds separate for hundreds of years. Diego is plunged into a world he has no knowledge, or at least no recollection, of, and Finn finds himself still an outcast among his own people.
