Meet Piper Shaw. She's one of the Netherworld Paranormal Police Department's toughest. She's also an immortal, and she's got one hell of a chip on her shoulder.
Meet Reaper Payne. He's an actual reaper. Yes, one of those guys who ferries the dead. Unfortunately, he broke a rule of his order, and it was a doozy. His punishment is to dwell alongside the living for one hundred years.
They're both Retrievers in the PPD. Essentially, they hunt in the Overworld (a.k.a. topside) to bring back supernaturals who have overstayed their welcome.
Piper is clear about one thing: She does not want a partner.
They just became partners.

John P. Logsdon is a former game designer, producer, and software engineer who shamelessly digs into the deep recesses of his mind to bring forth oddball characters and hilarious plots. He writes primarily in fantasy, urban fantasy, and science fiction, but he's also dabbled in cozy mystery from time to time. To see John's vast library of laughs, visit www.johnplogsdon.com.
kindle unlimited, something about reading through an entire set/arc of series that seems to put it all together a bit better, especially when it's been a while for most of them and also when there are other PPD universe ones coming out fairly regular. Logson is still 'not quite right', and now he's spreading the insanity to other co-writers.
Blood Crossed (Book 1) Meet Piper Shaw. She's one of the Netherworld Paranormal Police Department's toughest. She's also an immortal, and she's got one hell of a chip on her shoulder. Meet Reaper Payne. He's an actual reaper. Yes, one of those guys who ferries the dead. Unfortunately, he broke a rule of his order, and it was a doozy. His punishment is to dwell alongside the living for one hundred years. They're both Retrievers in the PPD. Essentially, they hunt in the Overworld to bring back supernaturals who have overstayed their welcome. Piper is clear about one thing: She does not want a partner. They just became partners.
Bane's Edge (Book 2) Officers Piper Shaw and Reaper Payne are at it again. This time in San Fransisco. Lucien Bane wants blood. After turning from a mild-mannered wolf into a near-uber who is bent on dominating the city, he's now taken up shop in Alcatraz. And he's not alone. He's convinced a number of wolves to follow him by claiming he's descended from a god. When push comes to shove, will Piper finally admit she needs the one thing she hates to ask for? Namely...backup.
Deathly Temperance (Book 3) Temperance is the queen of the fae. After tasting true power at the hands of an evil mage, she's bent on ruling the Netherworld. She wants it all...and she wants it now. Piper & Payne have to break the rules and sneak into Faeland if they're to stop all of this. Getting caught is not an option, and failure means the end of the Netherworld as they know it. It's a shame there's a psychopathic torturer who has other plans for them...
Major Feeding (Book 4) Keller wants to take over the Netherworld PPD. After decades of waiting, he's finally weakened the precinct enough to take his shot. Now is the time to strike. Piper & Payne have to find a way to get into that building, save Agnes, and destroy Keller's plans. Easier said than done. If they fail, Keller will finish what Temperance started...taking over the Netherworld.
Netherworld Rift (Book 5) After Keller decimated the Netherworld PPD, Piper and her crew take it upon themselves to bring the fight to him. But is there a traitor in their midst? Only time will tell... They head topside to New York City and the fun begins. Battling drones in Central Park kicks off a string of events that pits all of Keller's goons against the squad. They're completely overwhelmed until the entirety of the NY PPD gets involved...but even that may not be enough to take down the evil mage and his powerful entourage. They'll need to give everything they've got if they're to even have a chance of dethroning the bastard. The bottom line is that if Keller survives this time, the world falls. Fortunately, Piper & Payne have a heroic turtle on their side...

Retrievers, goblins, reapers, turtles and an abundance of hotdogs. You’ll have to read it to figure it out or not. Piper Shaw is a badass retriever with a hint of vulnerability to her. So this series is action packed, fast paced and hard to put down. You will not be disappointed. Plus: the authors can tell a great story without full on porn scenes. Minus: I wish todays authors didn’t have to drop GD cuss words all the time. Making up cuss words would add the comedic effect when needed. I give this series a 9 out of 10 for y’all to grab your copies and get energy blasted to the Netherworld PPD world.
Very funny, fast-paced, full of Snark and very enjoyable.
If you like irreverent humor, Snark, plenty of action and magic you’ll enjoy the series. This box it has it all. Very engaging characters, fast pace and a fun read. I do not believe you will be disappointed in Reading this box set. I hope there will be a follow up with these particular characters. Very enjoyable.
It was fun to read. It kept throwing new characters, new angles, and new information in, which kept the story line fresh and interesting. Really enjoyed the different personalities - all of them were fun. Hope we get more of these stories. I really want to know how Reaper really feels about Piper!
So if you don't use words like awesome then you should probably stick to Tolkien - but if you do then this is a great, fun series of books. I'm only sad to have reached the end of Piper and Reaper's story, I could have done with some more character development for them both, amd just a few more books worth wouldn't go amiss. 😁
I binged this series over 2 days and it was worth it!! Hilarious laugh out loud dialogue and great story telling. Comedic genius. Truly enjoyed myself. Will look for more books set in this world.
I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Quite honestly the best torture scene ever. Piper is a real badass and loves to shout her mouth off. Amazing characters and interaction between them all
Imagination,Craziness , with a minimal plot but the zaniness keeps you reading as you keep laughing while you wonder what is going to happen next. Definitely a light and fun read that makes you forget your own problems for awhile.
Enjoyed this paranormal cops and bad guys story, kept my interest throughout with plenty of chuckles along the way. Easy reading with nothing very heavy or meaningful, just good old crazy action and saving the day.
Can be read as long chapters. This is my first of these series. Looking forward to how characters, tone, the larger universe of all this will create both continuity and difference. Shades of D. Adams and Pritchett in the whimsy...became clearer as a feature to me in the last 3 books.
I really enjoyed this book. Its full of action sass and a great story. The set has story arc of a baddy and how to fight him. Piper gains a whole team and learns to work with them discovers her past and is instrumental in getting Keller in the end.
Piper can see supernaturals so she works for the PPD as a retriever. There are bad things happening and retrievers are not returning alive. Read to see what happens!
This is really great series. Fun to read engaging characters and easy to get through. It had some fun twists throughout. I am looking forward to the next in the series.
My fourth series and I really like this one, Piper, Reaper and the crew are amazing characters, this one reads like the Ian Dex series but with their own spin. Loved it!!
