Fans of KF Breen, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, BR Kingsolver and Faith Hunter - this is your next must read! Readers of Sleight of Hand say: I rarely do this - but I am actually willing to compare this new author to my favorites. The team of Ilona Andrews and their "Kate Daniels" series and Patricia Briggs and her "Mercy Thompson" novels, as well as Faith Hunter's "Jane Yellowrock" are a hard act to follow. Intense storylines, fully developed realistic characters, exceptional world building, the list goes on and on. And, so far, the author of "Sleight of Hand" fits right in there with my favorites. - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Loved this book. It's a bit of a cross between those great hard-boiled detective novels of the 1930s and 1940s and more modern Urban Fantasy by authors like Jennifer Estep and Faith Hunter. Amber is a great heroine and this book is filled with secondary characters I can't help but like. I'm already hooked. - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Amber kicks butt like no other. This is fast-paced, action-packed and does not slow down for a second. - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ WOW well I have just added an author to my top 5 and auto-buy list. This story was just plain awesome. I totally agree with some of the other reviewers, this falls in the same league as Kate Daniels, Jane Yellowrock and Cat And Bones. Kickass heroine who is believable (ex military special ops), Vampires who don't go poof the magic dragon in sunlight or upon death. No insta love ( which I have come to dislike). Excellent world building without information dumps. Very good plot line with underlying overall plot line. Top class urban fantasy! - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
