Tops in his Paramedic Academy training… incredibly curious to learn about this whole new world he didn’t know existed.
Would it get him killed?
She’d been at this job a while and was less than enthused to be given a new probie. There was always a lot going on, but Brynne has something on her mind. What happened to her old partner?
In the dark of night…
…a society few humans know, thrives.
And someone wants to bring them down.
You’ll love this supernatural medical thriller, because the fast-paced life of an EMT is better in the world of vampires and mythical creatures..
Get it now.

Liked the idea of this but hard to get into….not sure if I will continue to next book.
Definitely different than other paranormal novels. Nice to read something new for a change
I enjoyed reading the whole series. There were a number of unexpected twists
I liked the story line so much I bought the rest of the books in the series. Very good combination of realistic and fantasy situations.
I really liked this one and now I have to get the next book to keep on reading it. The main character could be frustrating at times but nobody is perfect. I have never read a book like this one before so it kept my attention.
This book has an interesting premise and likeable characters. A fun read.
Fun and engaging. I enjoy reading paranormal books. This story lets paranormal beings have problems just like “normals”. I don’t think that it couldn’t be a possibility.
Interesting, different, accurate emergency treatment (thus not distracting from a suspension of disbelief standpoint. But I am not a fan of the ending without resolution technique. It frustrates me enough that the intent to make it serial (as in the Lord of the Rings films) backfires withthisreaderbecause it makes me less likely to acquire the next book in that particular series.
Have you ever wanted to be an EMT? Suppose you graduate at the top of your class and get an assignment unlike any you ever expected? That’s what our hero does. The ordinary people he is called to treat/save are those we read about as monsters. They just want normal lives.
Ride along as see how the un-dead are treated, zombies? lots more and suddenly you find there is a group that hates them and believes they are actually plotting to enslave us normal people. Who is who abounds. Surprises at the end will have you reaching for the next book in the series.
No sex, in this book, maybe later. Lots of technical jargon tossed about. And the characters are more than you can envision. Enjoy
Original take on serving ” mankind”. Thought provoking eye opener.
I really enjoyed the premise of the whole series.
A fun look at the supernatural from a totally new (at least to me) perspective, that of an EMT going on calls for the alternate beings of the community. Thought provoking and funny.
This is actually my second time reading this series. It is not too heavy, entertaining and with interesting characters.
Starting the second book,
Extreme Medical Services is a cross between 9-1-1 and the X-Files. The story keeps your attention to such a degree that you find yourself reading as you walk to other rooms. The only downside is the book ends on a cliffhanger but all the other books are already published.
I really love the mix between urban fantasy and the medical part, it was a refreshing point of view and we are getting the opportunity to meet a lot of different paranormal creatures. Dean is a young new paramedic who wants action but he never imagined to be assigned to a unit for unusual (aka paranormal) patients. With problem nearly normal for a paramedic: asthma attack, cardiac arrest, dishydratation etc but pertaining unusual people ( vampire, shifters etc)…it’s a bit overwhelming at first but thankfully his mentor Brynne is not new to the job and it’s subtleties. Dean is really good student but we glimpse deep down also a very gentle heart and good soul covered by a lot of determination ( a excellent combination fora paramedic i guess)
It’s full of action and mystery with twists and intrigue behind the specific interventions scenes that are wonderfully written immersing us in the paramedic world easily and making us ( at least me) want more. I could easily imagine a tv series made from this book it could be fascinating!
My only disappointment is the cliffhanger …we are getting deeper into what is happening and then after a big info we are left waiting for book 2….thankfully it’s already release with a few others so no need to wait before getting your hand on it help…..because this series may be very addictive if it continues with this quality.
This is one of the most unusual books of its kind. In fact, I don’t think there is another like it. If you’re in EMS, you’ll especially enjoy it. Imagine being a top of your class paramedic knowing you have the pick of station assignments when you find yourself at Station U. Before you can figure out what that means, your partner is wrestling with a hypoglycemic werewolf. Did you know there are werewolves, vampires, sirens, fairies and zombies (one of whom is an excellent chef if he can keep from dropping body parts in the stew) that live among us? Our hero, Dean has quite a learning curve that well surpasses IV starts and med administration. What is the normal cardiac rhythm for a vampire? Follow Dean as he becomes immersed in this new world and finds danger lurks there as well. Unlike most books featuring paranormal characters, Jamie has fun with this one. If you’re not sure, try the prequel. It will enhance your knowledge of the characters when you get to this first book in the series.
Love the idea of the book but didn’t like that the books just ended without any resolution. Lots of leading insights to characters yet you only feel like you know Dean the main character. Medical terms and usage is spot on. Guess I would have liked more clear insight on characters. Still overall this is a series I want to continue reading
Finally, medical science fiction for those of us outside the hospital setting. Take a ride in *this* “bus”, and you’ll never look at an emergency operation the same again! The emergency procedures are correct, the characters are good, and the situations become believable with the melding of the two.
I loved this book! Mr. Davis did a wonderful job with this tale and I can’t wait to read the next in the series. If you like paranormal I highly recommend this book.
