Some people call me an assassin, personally, I prefer the term bounty hunter.
In
a world where magic is hidden from the general population, I'm hired to
keep our secrets safe and take care of rogues by whatever means
necessary.
When I accidentally targeted the wrong person, the
Alliance offered me a deal -- go to jail or work for them. Their first
official request was to locate a vampire I thought I killed years ago.
By the time I found him, he was going to wish he had stayed dead.
Supernatural
Slayer is an action-packed urban fantasy romp through Barcelona with an
assorted cast of witches, vampires, and shifters. It may also feature a
snarky troll or two.
Supernatural Shadow, by author Fatima Fayez, is the first installment in the authors Aisha Bone series. Aisha Bone first appeared in The Solstice Shenanigans anthology. This story takes place entirely in Barcelona. It is a place that has a mixture of witches, vampires, gargoyle's, dragons, nymphs, dwarves, werewolves, demons, and angel's. Aisha Bone is a 1/2 witch bounty hunter who is also one of the top bounty hunters in the city. On one hand she brings back bounty's dead or alive, on the other, she takes harder jobs that make her more money.
After a shifter refuses to be taken in, and ends his own life, Aisha finds herself in hot water. Thanks to her friend Mateu, who just happens to be a gargoyle, Aisha learns that the shifter alpha isn't at all happy with her and demands that she stop killing his people. Aisha's best friend and roommate is Noor, who just happens to be 1/2 devil and 1/2 angel which the supernatural world doesn't take kindly to. You are either one or the other, never shall the two mix. Luckily for Noor, Aisha understands because she's because an out-clan witch who has been looked down upon for most of her life.
I think the most curious aspect of this story is the title. If that doesn't clue you into the point that there is something you, as a reader, needs to clue yourself in on, then it's like the meme with the point going over the persons head. Aisha could be considered to be a loose cannon. She killed her former boyfriend who was a vampire who wanted to expose the supernatural world to humanity. She finds herself in a no win situation after she is caught red handed killing a vampire. And, she soon finds that the only option is to work for the organization that has put a large price on your head.
To make things even more twisted, she's expected to once again find a vampire who is threatening to go to the public and stop him. Guess who? There is a bit of romance in this book and that's after Aisha encounters a Fae who works for ASP named Leo. This is a pretty short book. It almost makes sense to read the entire trilogy first before wring a review. Alas, I chose to do otherwise.
