"A ROC book."
"The Pemkowet Visitors Bureau has always promoted paranormal tourism--even if it has downplayed the risks (hobgoblins are unpredictable). It helps that the town is presided over by Daisy Johanssen, who as Hel's liaison is authorized by the Norse goddess of the dead to keep Pemkowet under control. Normally, that's easier to do in the winter, when bracing temperatures keep folks indoors. But a new predator is on the prowl, and this one thrives on nightmares. Daisy is on her trail and working intimately with her partner and sometime lover from the Pemkowet PD, sexy yet unavailable werewolf Cody Fairfax. But even as the creature is racking up innocent victims, a greater danger looms on Pewkowet's horizon. As a result of a recent ghost uprising, an unknown adversary--represented by a hell-spawn lawyer with fiery powers of persuasion--has instigated a lawsuit against the town. If Pemkowet loses, Hel's sovereignty will be jeopardized, and the fate of the eldritch community will be at stake. The only one who can prevent it is Daisy--but she's going to have to confront her own worst nightmare to do it"-- Provided by publisher.

Satisfying wrap to the trilogy submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on June 22, 2015, 7:09am A fine and satisfying wrap to the trilogy. My comments from the first two continue to apply: This feels like a younger and female version of the Dresden Files, and I love the way the Carey works little things into the early story in natural ways that turn out to be critical factors later. They never feel like plants when they first show up, but they turn out to have been the key to *something.* She also does a great job holding multiple threads along the course of the single book, while still having this particular series be quite light. (This series is definitely book candy, as opposed to the books that came out of the Kushiel trilogy.)

There are a couple of sex scenes that have single lines that make this book wildly inappropriate for younger than teens or older, which is a dang shame, because the rest of the storyline would be great YA content.
