  Summary (from publisher):

  All the creatures of the night gather in “the Hollows” of Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party . . . and to feed.

  Vampires rule the darkness in a predator-eat-predator world rife with dangers beyond imagining—and it’s Rachel Morgan’s job to keep that world civilized.

  A bounty hunter and a witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she’ll bring ’em back alive, dead . . . or undead.

• Shadow Sight

  Title:

  Shadow Sight (Ivy Granger Psychic Detective #1)

  Author: EJ Stevens

  Genres:

  Urban Fantasy

  Summary (from publisher):

  Welcome to Harborsmouth, where monsters walk the streets unseen by humans…except those with second sight, like Ivy Granger.

  Some things are best left unseen…

  Ivy Granger’s second sight is finally giving her life purpose. Ivy and her best friend Jinx may not be raking in the dough, but their psychic detective agency pays the bills–most of the time. Their only worry is the boredom of a slow day and the occasional crazy client–until a demon walks through their door.

  Demons are never a good sign…

  Review:

  Ivy is fresh, bright, and unstoppable. Just what I look for in a FMC. Will be continuing this series.
