Helpful Score: 4
Great read-action paranormal. It's a Coyote story, of course I loved it! But beyond that, it's beautifully written. The plot is page turning and the setting is warmly evocative of the Southwest areas near the Navajo Reservation. The characters are rich and sometimes quirky. You've got to love the magic mirror with lust on it's mind, Sheriff Nash who is so rigidly determined to remain an unbeliever, and of course there's Coyote...
The heroine has issues that make 'Mommy, Dearest' look like the Waltons. Her mother is an evil Goddess from Beneath [don't worry if you don't know anything about the myths, legends, and religious beliefs of the Southwest - the author does a fantastic job of providing the information without sounding like you're reading from the Cliff Notes] who wants out into our world. To accomplish this, she takes over young women who move too close to the vortexes and send them out to find a sperm donor for the purpose of creating a child she will then control. So far only one child has been successfully born [that we are aware of] - our heroine, Janet, who has no intention of being controlled.
The hero is Mick who has many secrets, secrets that upset the heroine's world when she finally learns them...
The are several subplots in addition to Janet vs the Goddess - Janet is looking for a missing girl, a dead body shows up in her basement, and she's renovating the shell of an old hotel to open as a business. I really enjoyed it and have the sequel on pre-order.
FYI 'A Little Night Magic' concerns Jamison Kee and Coyote - good story though it's not important to read it first.
