The Good, The Bad, And The Undead
After a virus leaves half the world as supernatural creatures, the rest of the world hunkers down to become a brave new society. Rachel Morgan is a troubleshooter in a new version of Cincinnati who takes on vampires and demon criminals for money, even though her friend Ivy has become a vampire from the virus. In this case, there appears to be a serial killer who is targeting some very dark witches. Obviously not a good move to anger these witches, and it's not a good move to stick your nose in where it doesn't belong. However, Rachel does with her impetuous nature with some surprising results.
Why It Made the List
This is the second book in the series, and the author continues to grow with each novel in the series. She does a phenomenal job at creating a different world in her series. In this second novel, she's still on the lookout for the man who messed with her in the previous book. The multi-book arc works well here and brings an added depth to the novel.
