Glimmer of The Other by Heather G Harris

Glimmer of The Other (The Other Realm, #1)

by Heather G Harris

I can tell when you’re lying. Every. Single. Time.

I’m Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill – but let’s face it, it’s not normal. You’d think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven’t been able to track down my parent’s killers.

When I’m hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar – yet my gut tells me there’s more to this case than a party girl gone wild. Firstly, she’s a bookish soul who’s as likely to go off the rails as Mother Theresa. Secondly, I’m not the only one on her trail; she’s also being tracked by the implacable and oh-so-sexy Inspector Stone.

Stone and I team up, and he shoves me into a realm where magic is real – a place where there are vampyrs and werewolves, dragons and trolls. And where my skills are more than just detecting lies…

Oh, and my dog? He’s a freaking hellhound who can manipulate the magical realms themselves.

I need to find the girl.

I need to discover who killed my parents.

And I need to find out more about the attractive but mysterious Zachary Stone…

this was recommended in a reddit thread so I gave it a shot and it was honestly worth it. It is a very fun, creative world, Jinx is a great character and there is a lot to build up.

The only thing that slightly bugged me is that Jinx does suffer a tiny bit from main character syndrom, meaning that she is just really awesome, everyone likes her and wants to help her and she always comes up with the best solution to a problem in a world that one day ago she didn't even know existed. But then again, sometimes that is fun to read.

Best part of the book though was by far her Hellhound Gato! Now I want one as well.
It is really good, especially for a book that was I think self published. I do think it would be one of my favorites if it was publisehd and thereby probably worked on a bit more (now I feel mean saying that cause it was really good!), but still, for KindleUnlimited (such a hit and miss thing) a big hit.
