Rare Stakes (Immortal Kin #1)

Michelle
Fox
Genre: 
Paranormal

Amelia Larson is a phenomenal FBI agent, but an even better psychic. Her psychic abilities mean she always gets her bad guy — that is, until she is assigned a case involving a Dracula copycat. If she wants to catch the killer, she must delve into the mysterious underworld, and her own world is about to be turned upside down. As she and her partner investigate the increasingly strange case, Amelia learns some hard lessons:  not every killer is human, just as not every case is meant to be solved. And not everyone can survive.

 Filled with action and intrigue, “Rare Stakes” is a paranormal read that dives in headfirst.

The reader is quickly introduced to Amelia’s struggles of being a psychic FBI agent trying to maintain a social life, particularly with her boyfriend who may be keeping secrets from her.  Amelia, despite her flaws, is a strong female lead, accompanied by an equally diverse and interesting cast. Though Ms. Fox is a talented storyteller with a creative paranormal world, her writing style is sometimes long winded with unnecessary description. Written from Amelia’s point of view, the reader may find themselves asking how some narrative and inner dialogue is relevant to story. That being said, the story is engaging from beginning to end and filled with twists and turns. While some readers will find the complex storyline a bit overwhelming, others will devour every word.
