Jacqueline Carey - Poison Fruit (Agent of Hel 3, epub) - j_ray

The hot-as-Hel series with the "Sookie Stackhouse type of vibe" (Paranormal Haven) is
back - but this time the paranormal Midwestern town of Pemkowet is feeling a frost in
the air and the residents are frozen in fear....

The Pemkowet Visitors Bureau has always promoted paranormal tourism - even if it
has downplayed the risks (hobgoblins are unpredictable). It helps that the town is
presided over by Daisy Johanssen, who as Hel's liaison is authorized by the Norse
goddess of the dead to keep Pemkowet under control. Normally, that's easier to do
in the winter, when bracing temperatures keep folks indoors.

But a new predator is on the prowl, and this one thrives on nightmares. Daisy is
on her trail and working intimately with her partner and sometime lover from the
Pemkowet PD, sexy yet unavailable werewolf Cody Fairfax. But even as the creature
is racking up innocent victims, a greater danger looms on Pewkowet's horizon.

As a result of a recent ghost uprising, an unknown adversary - represented by a
hell-spawn lawyer with fiery powers of persuasion - has instigated a lawsuit against
the town. If Pemkowet loses, Hel's sovereignty will be jeopardized, and the fate of
the eldritch community will be at stake. The only one who can prevent it is
Daisy - but she's going to have to confront her own worst nightmare to do it.
