A great start to the Charlie Madigan series. I totally loved Charlie and her alien partner Hank. This book immediately grabbed me and held my attention until the final conflict. Charlie is a kickass heroine who gets her ass kicked time and again but of course, comes out on top in the end. Parallel universes Elysia and Charbydon (heaven and hell to humans) have been sending emissaries to Earth for years. Some good and some evil. Now they have acquired citizenship and been integrated into Atlanta society. Unfortunately a few bad eggs have brought a killer drug to Atlanta and Charlie and Hank are on the trail.

I loved the concept and the setup. The writing is terrific and really brings the action front and center. This is a series I will definitely be continuing. Excellent!
