In this fast-paced urban fantasy, Adams (Magic's Design), the joint pseudonym for C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp (the Sazi series), introduces readers to a new world full of treachery and action. Tough-as-nails bodyguard Celia Graves protects the rich and famous from ghosts, demons, and other supernatural entities. While guarding the prince of a tiny European country, Celia is caught in a vampire ambush that leaves her wounded and partially transformed. Now she has to figure out her new limits and powers, destroy her sire before he can control her, and put together the pieces of a larger plan in which she's just a pawn. The story line and setting will draw in readers from the start, but late revelations may have them paging backwards to pick up on clues, and some answers will just have to wait for the sequels.

Celia Graves is one of the best bodyguards around, despite being just a plain vanilla human. But her current assignment to guard a European prince goes horribly wrong when her party is ambushed by vampires. Losing her partner, she's left barely alive or human as a partially turned Abomination. Now the vampires want to finish the transformation and the humans want to commit or destroy her. With little time, Celia must figure out who sabotaged her gig and stop her sire before he can strip her of what little humanity she still possesses. Adams, pen name for the C. T. Adams and Cathy Clamp writing team, kicks off an urban-fantasy series with this book. Celia is a heroine to root for: edgy but willing to admit to her weaknesses and show her vulnerable side. One plot twist feels anticlimactic, but overall Adams hammers home a page-turner. --Nina C. Davis
