An urban fantasy novel that is a blend of Americana, fantasy and ancient mythology all centering on FBI agents Carina Keel and Jon Canopus as they navigate a world filled with demons, witches and fallen angels.
In ‘The Hive.’ Carina Keel has discovered that the creature that killed her father has returned and is feeding off the residents of Bonners Ferry in Idaho. Carina Keel and Jon Canopus want revenge.
Vince has found himself in Portland, led by the ever presence voice of the Red Girl in his mind. Each day he can ask her three questions, but are his memories his own? And why does the voice want him to follow Canopus and Keel?
In Bonners Ferry, Julia is missing time. She is constantly tired and knows that she is sleepwalking, but could sleepwalking explain how she unlocked the front door and drove her car? Or why she wakes with dried mud on her bare feet? And did she really glimpse something holding onto her shoulders in the mirror?
A Coven of Witches have detected a creature in Bonners Ferry, its power is far too immense to allow Canopus and Keel to destroy it.
In a race against time, who will find The Hive first?

Original, funny, with heaps of action. Jarrett keeps the reader engaged in a fast paced adventure full of dark twists, intriguing characters and a few gruesome incidents. Lots of ideas are explored and come together in a well woven tale.

I really enjoyed this. Easy to read and I really like the characters, Carina Keel is awesome and Canopus is a friend that I feel we all need. Loved Drexel too. Vince was an interesting character and I was surprised by the twists. Lots of fun, looking forward to the next book!

Fun thriller, with an interesting take on angels and zombies. The red girl is super interesting, I hope we see more of her in the next books.

Dark humour and great cutting banter. If you are fan of Preacher, you'll like this!

A great story and a really fun read.
When I read the premise (FBI agents and the supernatural) my first thought was "X-Files" but it turned out to be nothing like that. It's probably closer to Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers Of London, although not that similar to that either. It lies on an original point between the two and recommended for fans of either of them.
there are some exciting set-pieces . The diner and the morgue were highlights. The characters of Canopus and Keel are well thought out and the supporting cast (Vince in particular) are equally fun.
Overall, thoroughly recommended if you like easy-to-read action-packed supernatural thrillers.

In the first few chapter there is a character that dies.
The detectives said that he died because he was full of energy and that energy (the same energy that could only be consumed by blood or saliva) needed to go somewhere but after 2 chapters they also said that the same person was quite drained out of blood.
So dead person had a lot of energy (which made him explode) because he consumed blood and he was still missing nearly half of it before he died???
Make it make sense!!

I got through almost 80% of this book but I just lost interest in it. It could just be that I wasn't really in the mood to read this right now but it just seemed to be dragging along.

Fun read, action packed with some fresh supernatural lore. I look forward to reading the next part in the series.

May 3, 2024 just a two chapters in, but this is not for me. It's started out pretty interesting. Some pretty good ideas and potential , but poorly written. Oh well.
