The job should have been easy. Get in. Assess the situation. Get out. But for veteran tracker Quentin Rutherford, things get sticky when the girl he's loved since puberty shows up, conducting her own investigation into the strange occurrences of the small, New Mexico town. He knew it would be a risk coming back to the area, but he had no idea Amber Kowalski had become a bona fide PI, investigating things that go bump in the night. He shouldn't be surprised, however. She can see through the dead as clearly as he can. The real question is, can she see through him? But is anything that's worth it ever easy? To say that Amber is shocked to see her childhood crush would be the understatement of her fragile second life. One look at him tells her everything she needs to know. He's changed. So drastically she barely recognizes him. He is savage now, a hardened -- in all the right places -- demon hunter, and she is simply the awkward, lovestruck girl he left behind. But she doesn't have time to dwell on the past. A supernatural entity has set up shop, and it's up to them to stop it before it kills again. While thousands of questions burn inside her, she has to put her concern over him, over what he's become, aside for now. Because he's about to learn one, undeniable fact: she's changed, too.… (mehr)

The Gravedigger’s Son
Charley Davidson, Book 13.6

I Picked Up This Book Because: Continue the story

Media Type: Digital
Source: Purchased from Amazon
Dates Read: 5/22/21 - 6/5/21
Stars: 4 Stars

The Characters:

Amber Kowalski:
Quintin Rutherford:
Rune. Kyle

The Story:

The babies are all grown up, kicking ass and taking names. After a 5 year separation Quintin and Amber stumble across each other while working what turns out to be the same case. It also turns out their incredible chemistry is still there.

I enjoyed this spinoff of their adult time together. I like the people they have become. I did have to do some work to put them in an adult frame as I still think of Amber as an adorable 13/14 year old. They were NOT doing adorable young teen stuff. But I like where their relationship is gong and I hope we get to see more of their adventures in the future (hint, hint Ms Jones) ( )

One Thousand and One Dark Nights

Once upon a time, in the future...

I was a student fascinated with stories and learning.
I studied philosophy, poetry, history, the occult, and
the art and science of love and magic. I had a vast
library at my father's home and collected thousands
of volumes of fantastic tales.

I learned all about ancient races and bygone
times. About myths and legends and dreams of all
people through the millennium. And the more I read
the stronger my imagination grew until I discovered
that I was able to travel into the stories... to actually
become part of them.

I wish I could say that I listened to my teacher
and respected my gift, as I ought to have. If I had, I
would not be telling you this tale now.
But I was foolhardy and confused, showing off
with bravery.

One afternoon, curious about the myth of the
Arabian Nights, I traveled back to ancient Persia to
see for myself if it was true that every day Shahryar
(Persian: پادشاه, "king") married a new virgin, and then
sent yesterday's wife to be beheaded. It was written
and I had read that by the time he met Scheherazade,
the vizier's daughter, he'd killed one thousand
women.

Something went wrong with my efforts. I arrived
in the midst of the story and somehow exchanged
places with Scheherazade — a phenomena that had
never occurred before and that still to this day, I
cannot explain.

Now I am trapped in that ancient past. I have
taken on Scheherazade's life and the only way I can
protect myself and stay alive is to do what she did to
protect herself and stay alive.

Every night the King calls for me and listens as I spin tales.
And when the evening ends and dawn breaks, I stop at a
point that leaves him breathless and yearning for more.
And so the King spares my life for one more day, so that
he might hear the rest of my dark tale.

As soon as I finish a story... I begin a new
one... like the one that you, dear reader, have before
you now.

If my calculations are correct,
I can retire five years after I die.
