Glimmer of Hope: An Urban Fantasy Novel (The Other Realm, #2)

by Heather G Harris

I’m Jinx, a run-of-the-mill private investigator … except I’m also a walking, talking lie detector. Oh, and I belong to magical realm known as the Other.

Murder isn’t usually my gig, but when I’m hired to investigate the death of a dryad called Reggie, I agree to help out because I know his grieving widow. It should be an easy case to crack, a mugging gone wrong, but the murder scene photos show it was anything but. Reggie’s death has all the hallmarks of my parents’ murders so I’ll stop at nothing to finding his killers. It’s so important I’d even be willing to tag in Stone to help – if I could find him…

Reggie was into some bad stuff involving a drug called Boost. Take it, and you play Russian roulette because either you get high or you die. As the drug claims another victim, I find myself with a new sidekick who is determined to fight its evil influence and he just happens to be the king of the dragon community.

Now I have two deaths to solve and one suave dragon king along for the ride.

I need to find Reggie’s murderer.

I need to discover who killed my parents.

And I need to keep my distance from the charismatic dragon Emory, who refuses to take no for an answer…

Very solid second installement. I again liked Jinx and her way of handling stuff, I like that she seemed a bit less OP than in the last one (or maybe she just seemed more comfortable with the Other so it made more sense for her to actually solve stuff). I like how her Powers work and I really like Emory. I guess I would have liked it better if the thing with Stone got actually resolved instead of what happened, but then again, it is actually more realistic that sometimes things happen that can't be forgotten and you just have to move on and get over it. I like Emory better with her anyway, though to be fair, that girl mvoes quickly... But again, who wouldn't with a super hot Dragon. A nice, fun read.
