Review - A Single Soul by L.A. Witt
My rating:
Matt is a very successful lawyer whose practice mainly involves negotiating disagreements between humans and tricksters, such as the fae. Nobody knows better than him that you don’t ask the fae for favors. In Matt’s defense, he was quite drunk when he poured his heart out to his matchmaker client about the poor state of his love life. That excuse won’t get him out of the contract, though. For now, Matt is stuck with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, charged with helping the man find a companion.

Grayson Ryder is quite the bad boy. He is a pickpocket and a thief, although he only steals enough for him and his sister to get by. It’s not just a lack of job skills that keeps Grayson stealing. He enjoys the thrill and danger of it. When most of the world’s people are killed by a devastating disease, Grayson’s skills suddenly become very useful among the survivors. His ability to think quickly, size up a situation, and get in and out of places without being seen come in handy among the small groups of people trying to stay alive, but Grayson has always been a loner.

Review - Madison Square Murders by C.S. Poe
My rating:
Detective Everett Larkin has an excellent memory. It’s not just photographic. Everett has a very rare quality that allows him to remember everything he sees. Everything he hears. Everything he feels. It may seem like a very good attribute for a cold case detective to have, but the emotional cost is quite high, since any event in his day may send Larkin spiraling back to relieve a past trauma. His latest case proves to be a minefield.
