Harmony Black is much more than your average FBI special agent. In addition to being a practicing witch, she’s also an operative for Vigilant Lock, an off-the-books program created to battle occult threats-by any means necessary. Despite her dedication to fighting the monsters threatening society, Harmony has become deeply conflicted about her job. Her last investigation resulted in a pile of dead bodies, and she suspects the wrong people are being punished for it.
While on a much-needed vacation, Harmony gets pulled back into action. This time, though, she’s gone from solo work to being part of a team. Their target: the Bogeyman, a vicious and elusive figure…and the creature that destroyed Harmony’s childhood. - synopsis from author's website.
I obtained this novel via Kindle First and was immediately impressed. It was highly engaging and I certainly plan on following the series. Learning that Harmony Black was a supporting character in Craig Schaefer's Daniel Faust series, I bought the first novel in that series as I enjoyed his style.
I did have a slight issue with the novel linked to its cosmology, which was conveyed by a character to Harmony early on. He stated that there was a hell without a corresponding heaven. This seemed a little lop-sided though to be fair he could be an unreliable source.
Again, an exciting urban fantasy with a strong horror component.
