Keep Austin (Para)Normal: Book 1

by Alexandra Ryan, Scotty Vick (editor)

Cassandra is a no-nonsense detective who moves from New York City to Austin, Texas. She thinks it will be a nice change of pace for her and a promotion. The job is going well until she and her partner find three bodies in the lake. They have a serial killer in Austin and he is ripping out the throats of young women. Her partner thinks it may be a wild animal but she knows no animal could possibly do that kind of damage. Just when she thinks she has caught the suspect, she finds out he is not what he seems. She discovers the dark side of Austin. And it’s not drug dealers and thieves but vampires, ferals, and all sorts of creatures she thought were just imaginary. Now she has to find out if the serial killer is a human or some other creature.

Do you like paranormal books? Mysteries with a great plot? Finally, do you like strong, badass female main characters and morally grey love interests? Then you’ll absolutely LOVE this book and series!!!

I love love love Cassandra. She’s a detective, and she’s intelligent, funny, and nice. But she doesn’t take anyone’s bullshit, including Atticus’. She’s a very strong main character, and one of my favorites.

Then there’s Atticus. He’s our love interest. He’s a vampire, and a badass at that. He doesn’t really fear anyone or anything. He’s also a very “you touch her, you die” kinda man. He’s done a lot of questionable things in his life, but he has his reasons. You gotta read to find out more!!!

If that intrigues you, then you really need to check out this entire series. This book was definitely my cup of tea!!!
