Contro L'Apocalisse (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

I think this one annoyed me less than her Night Creature Series. I don't know... perhaps it's because I'm in the middle of the 3rd Night Creature right now, and it's just not drawing me in... But her writing has definitely gotten more enjoyable since then. Liz is relatable. Jimmy is interesting. Sawyer is hot. The bad guys are bad.I've already started on the second one. I guess that shows I'm much happier with this series than the Night Creature one, since it took me two years to care enough to pick the series back up. (In defense, I did move and didn't have access to my library where I could check the books out without guilt. Here, they don't have them and will charge me to put a hold on them. And I didn't like the series enough to really want to buy it... even used.) I loved this book from the first page. It drew me and and kept me wanting more. Best of all it had a little bit of everything that I love all in one book - Mystery, Fantasy, Mysticism/Supernatural and Romance. As a bit of a warning, there's a few sex scenes and not all of them are consensual. I wasn't expecting it, but it works well in the story.Liz Phoenix is a psychic and considers her gift to be more of a pain than a blessing especially after it got her partner killed when she was on the police force. Due to that incident, she finds herself working in a cop bar owned by her partner's widow. She's 'called' away from one morning by an inexplicable force compelling her to visit, Ruth's house, where she finds the woman, her foster mother, dying from an attack. Ruth tells her that the final battle has begun and it's up to her before gripping her hand which causes Liz to black out only to waken in the hospital.That one event leads Liz down a path retracing some of the memories and places of her childhood. Included is dealing with having to work with her ex-boyfriend, Jimmy, who she kicked out her life years ago. Mix that with being plunged headfirst in the reality of the hidden world around her and a new power she has no real idea about. Now she's got to learn and accept her role in this 'new' reality while fighting her own demons.The pace of the book is great and it's an easy and fun read. It's written in such a way that draws you into the story, captivating your attention and leaves you wanting more at the end.
