Ivy Granger Series
Shadow Sight by E. J. Stevens.
Always looking for new things to
read I bought this book on the recommendation from amazon, which sometimes they
get right, sometimes not so much.
Ivy Granger fears all touch due
to her gift of psychometry. Using her ability in her job as a
private detective is her way of making a good thing out of the bad. Something her
bad luck plagued friend Jinx suggested.
Her life gets
more complicated when she makes a deal with a Demon - worse a Demon lawyer- to
find the Kelpie king’s bridle.
Ivy is an
interesting character; she has flaws beyond her obvious issue with touch, such
as her dislike for the Fae. That ability alone is an interesting. She does
however seem to rely on others quite a bit and I would really like to see her
stand on her own a little more.
The book introduces a variety of species. Vampires in
real estate, a nice path rather than something that sparkles, although a down
side is there is a little more tell rather than show. There are a lot of introductions
some could find tedious.
Overall, this book is a great introduction to a new
character and world. I did enjoy the book and consider it a good read or in this re-read and that for me if the basis of a good book. Hope the rest of the series shows Ivy growing into her
own and accepting that not all Fae are the bad guys.
