From the notes of Iris Engels: How to become a super secret agent without trying Step One: Get into a staring contest with a federal agent who is apparently a shifter. Step Two: Be claimed as pack by said grumpy beast Step Three: Solve a mystery
It sounds a lot easier than it looks. I’m Iris Engels. I can see through magic.
My grumpy shape-shifting partner, Adrian Williams, has a nose for trouble, but he's also frequently the cause. Our bosses at the Syndicate want to declare the case of the missing kids closed, but bizarrely ritualistic animal mutilations say otherwise. Just because I can see the world's hidden secrets, doesn’t mean the Syndicate will listen.
The second installment of the Syndicate Universe novels, Mark of the Void, is a comedic journey as Iris Engels explores the world of magic.
Iris has moved on from missing children to cases of mutilated animals glamoured to look more gruesome than they really are. But that’s just part of the new life Iris is building, she’s still confiding in Tips, breaks things off with Charlie the park ranger and doesn’t mind Adrian so much now that he’s getting his temper in check.
Now comes the really hard part, how will Iris and Adrian convince their boss in addition to the entire enforcement council that they are mates, everything was legal and Adrian doesn’t deserve death. Meanwhile, a hornet’s nest is loosed when a small discovery closes bigger issues. Look, a loose thread to pull in the next outing! Rating: 4.25stars
I liked this book better than the first one. More answers and a few more questions. The main question answered, but a new one was left open. Hope the next book comes out soon.
