This is book 1 in the Melody and Mateo trilogy, part of the Operation Underworld Series.
FBI Agent Mateo Garcia has spent the past year working to bring down a serial killer known simply as ‘The Satanist’. But as time drags on with fewer and fewer leads, he begins to wonder if he will ever solve the case—that is, until his wife becomes the latest victim. With revenge consuming him and his daughter’s life in danger, Mateo is now more determined than ever to bring the murderer to justice. But how is The Satanist able to kill without leaving any evidence behind, and what does that mean for his investigation?
When a mysterious invitation turns up on his doorstep, Mateo’s eyes are opened to a brand new world—one he never could have imagined, even in his worst nightmares. His suspect is actually a demon, and there’s only one way to bring him down: join Operation Underworld, a secret organization dedicated to policing paranormal entities. With the resources they offer, Mateo finally has what he needs to catch his wife’s murderer once and for all.
What he doesn’t expect is Melody Frank, a waitress working at a club frequented by ‘The Satanist’ and his followers. The attraction that sparks between them can’t be denied, but Mateo is after vengeance. He can’t afford to lose his head over a woman. However, Melody’s secrets run deeper than he knows. Before long, what she’s hiding begins to his intertwine with case, making it impossible for him to separate business from pleasure. When the truth about Melody comes out, he is left wondering whether she can be trusted, or if his connection to her will ultimately kill his one shot at revenge.

First book in a new series Melody and Mateo trilogy and is called Fight for Vengeance . Mateo Garcia is an FBI Agent who has been working to bring the serial killer called‘The Satanist’ to justice but it gets to close when his wife is targeted now he must make sure his daughter stays safe. Then he finds out the ‘The Satanist’, is not human so he joins Operation Underworld. Melody Frank,is a waitress working at a club where ‘The Satanist’ and his followers come,but who is Melody? This book will keep you guessing is she good or bad? I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
I was really torn between giving this book a four star or a five start rating. The story itself was definitely a five start story. On the other hand the book was riddled with typos and that's the kind of thing that turns a reader who is also a writer off quicker that anything else. However, in this case, the page turning, blood curdling, nonstop action won out and I had to give it a five star rating. It definitely reminded me of the old movie serials that always ended an episode with a cliffhanger and i will definitely have to procure book #2 and every book in the series to follow.
Mateo is an FBI agent looking to take down a serial killer . What he doesn't know that this case goes deep into a world that he is unfamiliar with but did not know existed. Elise Marion describes a paranormal world that is only noticeable to those who want are in it or those who really want to be aware. Many twists and turns in this story.
Fight For Vengeance is a perfect FBI thriller with a paranormal twist. Elise Marion took two of my favorite genres and combined them in a suspenseful, sexy, thrill ride. Two things...1. Mateo is HOT. 2. Fans of The Guardian Series will be thrilled to know that Sexy Jack guest stars in this series too! Without says anything else, that alone is worth the price of admission.
Well, it's my first read from Elise Marion, ... I feel so bad for Melody, life hasn't been kind to her , most of her life she has been treated less than a human being, been used and abused yo no fault of hers. I hope that Mateo can see beyond her pass ... and also slaying all the demons.
