Blood Hero
Cutty Downes is quite content being a police chief in a village nestled next to a scenic state park. She gets to enjoy the surrounding national forest she's explored since childhood in a job where the most excitement happens when someone falls off a bluff or gets lost in the forest.
Archivist Paula Reisling still pinches herself that she's in the dream job she would have dreamed about if she had known it existed. As the Director of the Repository of Unusual and Unsolvable Crimes, she's determined to solve at least one of these crimes.
Cutty's and Paula's worlds come together when Cutty finds a dead man with no trace of a weapon or an assailant in a cave full of electronics in the national forest. Together they embark on a twisting, mystical quest to solve this most recent of unusual and unsolvable crimes. They're only a fragment from an ancient sword and a mysterious Irish woman who is a drummer in a famous rock and roll band.
Delve into a world of Irish mysticism, warrior women, and age old traditions still very much alive in the twenty-first century.

This is cool af. Great blend of fantasy and modern crime procedural. Like a grown up Scooby Doo (now that I think about it, one of the MCs dressed in an orange sweater and red jacket - hello, Velma).
I really enjoyed it.
Plus it's very interesting to read a "Chosen One" story from the perspective of an actively involved "definitely-not-the-Chosen-One-nor-does-she-aspire-to-be-one".

This was an entertaining and somewhat mind-blowing novel. Jt has a little everything: fantasy, mystery, and romance. There is an odd incident in a cave that has the local sheriff and a librarian of weird and unusual artifacts and unsolved crimes combining forces to figure out what is going on. This takes them across the country to Washington and elsewhere. (At least I think they started on the east coast.) Lots of twists and turns and some red herrings lead our investigators to more and more places and people and possible secret societies and strange places. Evntually.it all wraps up after a wild journey of following the clues and includes a possible romance. It kept my attention.
