Reka’s Grasp: A Milesian Accords Novel
"H.Y. Gregor has produced a knuckle-biting urban fantasy with Reka's Grasp that will keep you up all night to get to the end. I'm looking forward to more!" Todd McCaffrey, New York Times Bestselling Author
The devil lies in still waters.
Grad school applications are Nikita Baird’s biggest problem—until a friend dies in her arms after a sinister accident. Rusalka and Baba Yaga were just fairy tales—until they aren’t. Soon Niki can’t deny the truth. Something inhuman lurks in the river.
Worse, her own roommate just might be the killer.
Ryan Fortner, Crypto Division, works alone since his partner died on their last case together. Now he needs Niki’s help, even if he doesn’t want it. Together they plunge into a realm of shrouded histories, dredging up more than just folklore.
Niki and Ryan must navigate the currents of myth, tragedy, and redemption to stop the drownings—before the river’s grasp can’t be broken.

This is urban fantasy meets X-files with a dash of Supernatural, all set in the Pacific NW.
Unexplained murders? Check. Strange creatures? Check. Snarky protagonist? Double check. Oh, and a big fluffy dog.
It was hard to put this one down. Pace is great, story keeps clipping along. I haven't read other books in the larger Milesian Accords world, but Reka's Grasp has me intrigued. Will definitely be reading the next books in this series.

Reka's Grasp by H.Y. Gregor was an absolute gem of a read. I love folklore from around the world and was particularly interested in the Russian folklore being brought into the modern world, especially because I don't know much about that particular culture!
This was a great Mystery/Urban Fantasy/Suspense read and I cannot wait to pick up the next book and see what else is lurking just beyond the veil separating "real world" from fantasy!
