It is always a delight to have a new series from Patricia Logan and this is no different. US Marshalls I.S.R has that american alphabet agency energy but with the entertainment and interest of include the paranormal and beings from space.
Eoghan has driven off several possible new partners since losing his a couple of years ago. Now he's Been given the ultimatum of accepting this last person or having to leave. Ari is a surprise, and not just that he is a civilian, completely oblivious to the world that he is about to walk into. There is clearly attraction on both sides but first, Ari needs to be guided through a whole encyclopedia of information on what they could walk into and interact with on a daily basis; your standard vampires and werewolves but also space faeries and albats (alien bats). The team seems like a good one that I am looking forward to getting to know better and we have a story arc that seems like it will get very interesting.
The romance side of things is very slow burn in relation to the book but actually quite quick in relation to how long they know each other. The book takes place over only a couple of days with a lot for the new partners to deal with but also the unexpected attraction that they feel towards each other. This part felt a little rushed to me considering how long they know each other, even with thoughts of love. The story finishes on a HFN with a good place for the team to move on from. I'm interested in the way that the author is writing the series. This book is from Eoghan's POV with the final chapter in Ari's and then it will switch in book two.
I really enjoyed this as it's another great investigator style series from the author with the added bonus of aliens and paranormals. It definitely has gay Men in Black vibes and I am here for that.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.
