This weekend, I read an ebook, Worth a Shot by Lyra Evans. It's a paranormal, m/m romance, featuring wizard detective, Oliver Worth.
There is an uneasy truce between the paranormal factions of witches/wizards, Werewolves, and the Fae. When a highborn Witch, is murdered, it looks to be the work of a Werewolf. Oliver, a detective in Nimueh's Court, is assigned to the case. He questions the woman's boyfriend, then looks into her business dealings. Although Eloise Carmichael was outspoken in her view of Werewolves, her company had many contracts with the wolves of Logan's Court. Oliver has no choice but to take his investigation into the realm of the Werewolves. There, he meets handsome, captivating Alpha, Connor Pierce.
In an effort to absolve the Werewolves of any wrongdoing, Connor agrees to assist Oliver in the investigation. However, the only way to sneak Oliver past enemy lines, as it were, is to make the other Werewolves believe that Oliver is Connor's consort. Oliver is wary, but he sees no other way, and he agrees to the subterfuge. Unfortunately for him, his powerful attraction to Connor makes it difficult for Oli to concentrate on his case.
As the pair put more clues together, the trail leads them back to Nimueh's Court, and into extreme danger.
All I can say is, 'Wow!' What a remarkable story. It was exciting and sexy and riveting. The UST between Oliver and Connor is beyond delicious, and when they do resolve it? Wow! Best of all, this is the first part of a trilogy. Woot!
Favorite line: "If you give up the prize so easily, it's hardly worth the hunt, is it?"
Highly recommended, five stars!
