Paranormal detective
Corey Shaw, with abilities such as telepathy and clairvoyance, is
summoned to Provincetown during the annual leather Mates weekend, when
the naked body of a young man is found. He had been tied up and beaten
before being strangled. The police say murder but Corey suspects a BDSM
scene gone out of control. Searching the dungeons, he becomes immersed
in the local scene and discovers a never-before-seen side of himself. In
a sea of muscular leather masters and slaves, he realizes hidden urges
in an environment where every fantasy can be fulfilled. He must set
aside his desires and use his powers to locate the murderer before he
kills again. Can Corey find him before becoming a victim to the ultimate
BDSM fantasy of execution?
This book really
caught me off guard. I went into it with a completely open mind and by the time
that I finished it I was so shocked that it was over because I just wanted the
story to go on. It was that extremely well done.
There were a lot
of supernatural twists to the story, which ultimately came into play but while
on one hand I did understand why they were added and what was going on, on the
other hand I was wondering what the story would have been like without them.
I really enjoyed
Corey’s character, but there were some times that I wanted reach through the
kindle and smack him. He was really well written, everything about him was done
extremely well. But then, I couldn’t figure out why it was he didn’t realize
what was going on with Ethan. It was so obvious to me from the start; I could
tell there was something up with him.
Corey’s history and his job was a really interesting twist. I really hope that the author will do more books about him and his co-workers in the future. Those will be some that I will definitely check out.
If you enjoyed the first Corey Shaw novel, I guarantee you'll love the second release, Murder at the Green Lantern. Currently my favorite of the Corey Shaw mysteries (I've had a chance to read them before publishing)
