Along Came A Demon by Linda Welch

Kiki's Rating - 4 stars

"Along Came A Demon" is the first in the "Whisperings" series by Linda Welch.  I received the first to the series thru Pixel of Ink, but quickly found myself buying the next at Amazon right after.  This quick read dives into the paranormal world through Tiff Banks.  She's a gun-toting, kick-butt heroine who works for the Clarion PD as their psychic consultant.  Only thing is she's not psychic...she just can talk to ghosts.  She communicates with the violently slain and has a knack at spotting "Otherworldly" creatures, that she calls demons whether they are or not.

In this first of the series we get a little character development with a lot of room to grow.  We meet Tiff (never Tiffany), her two ghostly roomates Jack and Mel, her bestie Mike from the Clarion PD, and of course her hell on wheels terrior.  In this installment Tiff is in search of a little boy who has gone missing since the death of his mother.  The twist is that "mom" was visited by a demon at her death and doesn't appear to be murdered.  And furthermore for her to "come visit" Tiff is just plain odd.  So what is a girl to do?  Be forced to work with another demon from the police force.  Too bad Tiff has an instant distrust for all things demon related or this new partner might just be the man of her dreams.

Royal Mortensen is one of the best cops out there.  No one knows he's a demon, nor do they know his real reason for jumping from department to department.  All they know is that he can get the job done.  Now Roayl is tacked onto his new PD's local psychic, but this isn't your run of the mill clairvoyent, she can read him.  She knows what he is and she is pissed!!  Roayl should just cut his losses, right?  But what if she is the only one who can find Lawrence?  And why does she bring out his innermost protective demoness?

Read the book and find out just where this case leads Tiff and Roayl!!

Happy Reading
