Pack of Lies (Paranormal Scene Investigations, #2)

by Laura Anne Gilman

My name is Bonita Torres, and eight months ago I was an unemployed college graduate without a plan.

Now I’m an investigator with the Private Unaffiliated Paranormal Investigations team of New York. Pretty awesome, right? The Cosa Nostradamus, the magical community, isn’t quick to give up its secrets, though. Not even to fellow members. Not even when it’s in their best interests. So we’ve been busting our tails, perfecting our forensic skills, working to gain acceptance.

The team’s tight… but we have our quirks, too. And our Big Dog, Benjamin Venec…well, he’s a special case, all right. But we can’t give up. We’re needed, especially when a case comes along that threatens to pit human against fatae. But one wrong move could cost us everything we’ve worked for….

Reviews

[MurderByDeath]

I'm really enjoying this series. This second book had a great main plot, although it's hard to get used to the 'bad guy' not being brought forth and made to face justice. The investigative team  finds out the facts about what happened during a crime, but takes no part in bringing the perpetrators of the crime to justice. It doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the story, but it's different. Feels a bit unfinished. 

I found the secondary plot to be neglected; there was a resolution to it without there being much storyline in front of it: you saw the characters plotting it, and you saw the protagonists ending it, but almost nothing in between. Made that feel very disjointed. Great  main characters, each interesting, amusing and compelling in their own right.
