Shadow of Doubt (The Potentate of Atlanta, #1)

by Hailey Edwards

Hadley Whitaker is a liar, a killer, and a chocoholic, but she’s getting better about the first two. Or maybe she’s just getting better at them.

Some days it’s hard for her to tell fact from fiction, but only one truth matters. Goddess willing, she’s going to be the next Potentate of Atlanta. Even if it means playing nice with Midas Kinase, a shifter whose mysterious past might just be grimmer than her own.

When a bloodthirsty rogue begins hunting the city’s paranormals, Hadley ropes Midas into letting her work the case. But that rope starts to feel more like a noose as they come closer to discovering not only the rogue’s identity, but each other’s darkest secrets.

I’ve really come to enjoy Edwards brand of urban fantasy. Her storylines, characters and world is refreshing, filled with a little snark and action-packed and in this case a mystery to solve.

Hadley Whitaker is the new POA in training and she comes with baggage, lots of it. While it’s not necessary to read Edwards’ previous series, it gives you some insight into Hadley’s previous identity and issues.

I was worried I wouldn’t connect with Hadley, but this didn’t turn out to be the case, and I am finding I want this chocolate loving, crafty gal to succeed. The case of the dead females supernaturals turned out to be an interesting one with plenty of twists. It allowed us to me characters, some old, but most new and I am already excited at potential alliances, romances and more. I adored Ford and Midas and hope Hadley’s secrets don’t come back to bite her in the arse!

An interesting threat has presented itself and I am curious to see how it develops. While this book wrapped up the current investigation I am looking forward to diving into the Hadley’s next adventure in the Potentate of Atlanta series.
