A paranormal filled debut novel from a debut author with a hint of romance.
From the blurb:
Disgraced, he is sent to recover the fugitive, disguised as an ordinary college student. But the mortal world holds its own secrets. Mysterious murders plague the school. Supernatural creatures hide in plain sight. And the fugitive has his own plan–one that may spell doom for both Hell and earth.
To stop it, Vincent must team up with others like him that walk the line between light and shadow. The best of them is monster hunter and football star Henry Wellfellow. Kind and charismatic, he is beloved by all; and yet he takes an interest in Vincent, accepting him in a way no one has before.
But Vincent has demons–literally. He can’t fall for the hero of the story. He doesn’t belong in this new world he has come to love. And yet, he may be the only one who can stop its destruction. But will the mortal world–and Henry–forgive him for what he will have to do to save it?
Angel's review:
The blurb of this book caught my interest when I first read it, and seeing how this is James's first book (at least I think it is?) I really wanted to give it a shot. First I'll start by saying I wouldn't necessarily classify this as a romance book. Is there romantic nuances there? Yes, absolutely. There is definitely some vibes between the two MC's, however, that isn't the main focus of the story. What is the main focus of the story is the mysterious murders that are happening on campus and following Vincent as he sets out to find the one who betrayed him.
Honestly I wasn't in love with this book in the beginning, and I'll tell you why in case you run into the same thing I did. The reason why I didn't enjoy reading this in the beginning is because there was SO much going, so much information getting thrown around, and all of these different events were happening quite quickly. I felt lost at times trying to decipher what was going on and how that was important to the story. HOWEVER, once I kept reading and the story progressed further I did end up enjoying this book quite a bit. When the plot thickened so to speak is when this book improved. I liked seeing Henry, Vincent and their 'crew' trying to solve the mystery behind what's going on. There were some humorous moments that occured here and there, and I thought certain paranormal aspects were quite unique as well. Seeing as this ends off with a HFN ending, I am curious to see where this storyline goes next.
