About this listen

When everyone's existence depends on the lies they tell, trust doesn't come easy.

Ivy's neighbors have a secret. They aren't human. But Ivy has a secret, too. She knows. As long as everyone keeps quiet, she's happy working as a P.I. by day and chillaxing with her BFF Florian, a vampire, by night. When a routine pickup drops her in the middle of a murder, her two worlds collide. While Florian knows how to throw a punch, deep down he's a softie. His idea of scary? Running out of hair product. It's time Ivy faced facts. Even with a vampire on stand-by, one gal can only kick so many asses.

For help, she must put her faith in others. A human, who might just be the one. A demon, who will, for a price, open the doors to her heritage. And a werewolf, who wants to protect her from herself.

Torn between these men, Ivy must tread carefully, because one wants her heart, one wants her body, and one wants her dead.

This had a good plot and likeable characters. My only grumble was there were just too many love interests for the heroine. None of the three relationships had enough time to develop so when she finally choses one of the guys (and I was happy with the choice), I just didn't feel their connection as deeply as I could have.

looking forward to next book

My first thought was that I had missed the fist book and had jumped straight into the second (even went back to check the book details) as Ivy the main protagonist had been kidnapped and spent two years in another realm being tortured and with no real detail on this or her experiences you are left playing catch up.
That being said the plot was good and developed nicely with lots of action throughout. On a journey where Ivy who can be quite selfish at times is learning about the other sides to her heritage the main one being a Satyr all the while trying to solve the case on who the baddies are.
I think the character development of Waylan and Parker could have been more thorough as the ending was quite abrupt where Ivy ended it with Waylan and all of a sudden Parker was the love of her life.
Still, I would say that it is worth a read/listen. (I've also just finished reading the second book - would recommend).

Overall a decent story
