Some really clever plot twists and surprise ending. Lots of atmosphere and some unique characters. The last 5 or 6 chapters kept me up well into the night!

After that I needed something light so I went to the next(# 6) in the Kat Parker series, "Sins of the Father" by K. L Phelps

Kat Parker was looking forward to a nice normal night out with her boyfriend—though nothing is truly normal when you can see and talk with the dead. However, when Damian arrives with news that his estranged father has been killed, date night quickly turns into a trip to Vegas, the supernatural capital of the world. Whoever said romance was dead?

As a former detective for the Vegas Police Department, Damian is well aware of his father’s shady business dealings, but he’s still surprised when he’s confronted by an unstable squid-faced creature demanding he deliver on his father’s final deal.

With time running short and the creature’s patience running even shorter, Kat must help to figure out who killed Damian’s father and how to deliver on his final debt. Otherwise, Kat may have more to worry about than playing middleman to a postmortem family reconciliation or figuring out if her pet turtle has a gambling problem.

This is a fun series! Snappy and funny dialogue, hilarious characters and interesting continuing story threads - and a pet turtle that can beat the house at a casino. What's not to like?
