In a city overrun with the undead, an ex-cop is given a chance to get revenge…
Danny Mancini is on a case, following a murder suspect. When he catches him, he finds out that the perp isn’t even human: he’s a 200 year old rogue vampire!
The department doesn’t believe him, and puts him on early retirement, despite his many years of service to the Chicago Police Department, which sends him into a … sends him into a downward spiral.
Two years later, Danny gets an invitation from the beautiful, young and very attractive Detective Angelica Cross to join a secret branch of the FBI to help her track down Vincent, the wayward vamp.
But renegade werewolves, meddling immortal witches and Danny’s strange visions of a life lived a century ago with Angelica make things more difficult than it should be.

This debut novel promises to keep you on the edge of your seat with plot twists, a unique take on an FBI Paranormal Unit, and characters you can’t help but fall in love with. This installment is well written, no distracting plot holes noted. Lily Luchesi has come up with something decidedly refreshing. I thought it was interesting and fascinating that each new chapter had song lyrics. Super excited to read next in series!
What an amazing story this was! This author has a new fan!!
The characters were phenomenal! The story between Danny and Angelica felt so real. I had become connected with feelings that both characters went through. I felt so bad for Danny and how conflicted his feelings were for Angelica. He was for sure fighting his own inner demons along with the real ones. And Angelica, well, she was such a strong character with a soft heart. These two characters just made the perfect couple.
The story-line was remarkable. I am beginning love Investigation stories with a Paranormal twist thanks to this story alone. This author did an incredible job of keeping me in suspense and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I loved how the author captured the character’s past while still in the present time and how everything just fell in together the more I read this story. I also felt as if I was part of the story. I could picture everything so clearly as if I was watching a movie in my head. I highly recommend this read.

This first book in The Paranormal Detectives Series lets the reader experience Detective First Grade Daniel Mancini’s world from the vantage point of being a hard-boiled Chicago Police Department Detective with 20+ years of experience on the force.
“The man was suave, British and rich. He was also suspected of murdering two women in the past two weeks… (Daniel) He should have had his partner with him, but she was on maternity leave and the Chicago Police Department was short-handed, so he was on his own that night…Keeping one hand on his gun, he crept closer, keeping his distance, until he heard a woman’s gurgling scream. He dashed into the alleyway and what he saw changed his life (and career) forever. (pp. 42-43).
What does happen to Daniel after he discovers the perp? How does Daniel’s life change dramatically?
Dearest Reader: I NEVER Reveal Spoilers in my reviews as I have the utmost respect for you Darling Reader and I wish for you to discover the tantalizing tale yourself!
The plot pace was action-packed and twisting; the characters were authentic and yet at the same time mysterious. Lily Luchesi has crafted a most unique combination of urban and fantasy: a wonderful world that draws the reader in deeper with each turn of the page. I could not put this book down & am so excited to read book 2, “Miranda’s Rights!
I give this book 5 Stars and highly recommend you purchase this, Beautiful Bookworm for your own personal library.
