About this listen
It’s a case she can’t refuse.
Spell-slinger. Vampire-slayer. Magical albino ferret-rescuer. Meet Jacqueline Denna Knight, the best wizard detective in the city.
Jax turns vampires to ash and pain into magic. She also has a knack for finding things. So, when a distraught - and obscenely wealthy - elf calls Jax at midnight to hire her for an intriguing job, she grabs the opportunity with both hands.
But what Jax doesn’t know is that this case is going to unravel her life. She’ll get tangled up with a host of intriguing characters, most of whom are not who they appear to be.
As Jax speeds down a path toward the most powerful vampire clan in the country, she’ll have to put everything on the line.
Will she be able to use her unique brand of magic to save the Realm?
This is a breakneck-paced mix of urban fantasy, irreverent humor, and detective noir. Fans of The Dresden Files and Jessica Jones will burn through this brand new addictive urban fantasy series.
Get it now.

The setting for this book is something that could have set it more apart from others in the genre with it being set in Johannesburg rather than London or one of the major American cities, but I didn't find the difference to be that significant as it came across as the author telling us the setting more than showing us, although maybe those more familiar with the setting would appreciate the differences more.
The narration of this book was a definite strength, serving to help to further build the main character and also to enhance supernatural feel of the supporting cast too.
Overall, a fast-paced and enjoyable introduction to this series.

This is a modern day fantasy novel with all the usual types of creatures and a mixture of magic and science. Jax is a great character and I can’t wait to see what happens next to her.
All the characters are well developed with not so much detail that you lose the plot of the story. There were several intermingling stories, but it was easy to follow and very enjoyable.
Fabulous start to the series
