Bound: Chinatown Demons, Book One

Chinatown, San Francisco.

A different place - another time - and where the city’s streets keep secrets and shadowy mysteries, SFPD Inspector Spencer Ricci needs to dig through after he finds himself on a case involving a dismembered, mummified man in a restaurant’s locked storage room.

Spencer drags around a lot of baggage, including an ongoing battle with the bottle and a long career as an LAPD detective he’d set fire to in a blaze of booze-soaked mistakes. San Francisco is supposed to be a new start, but his old ghosts haunt him, beckoning him back into his self-destructive bad habits. Bad habits that include contemplating doing dirty things with the wrong kind of guy and this time, it’s a sleek, cold-tempered medical examiner named Xian Carter with a complicated reputation.

For a century-old demon, Xian Carter is content with his secretive life. Hiding his nature from the mundane world, he blends in with the city’s inhabitants as best he can but even the best of predators make mistakes. Delving into the mysteries of the dead provide a welcome distraction from endless nights and hiding in plain sight amuses him, until something supernaturally wicked comes knocking on his door with an extremely hot, broody Inspector close behind.

Murder makes for strange bedfellows and this one is no exception. The twists and turns of the case leaves Xian and Spencer on a wild goose chase after clues, but Xian can only hope there’s a human at the end of the trail - because the last thing San Francisco needs is another predator.

I want more!

The only negative thing I have to say about this book is that I’d have wanted it to be twice as long!

Great!

So good to hear Greg back with Rhys Ford. They are a fantastic duo if words and voice. Gritty, fascinating story and characters. It is a cliff hanger, but oh so good.

Waiting for the next one

Great beginning to a new series. I’m eagerly waiting for the next installment to this new series. Intriguing character and the story has me hooked.

Beautiful any way you look at it!

Never ever disappointed. Need to find book two now and as always thank you for sharing your stories with us.

Another good beginning

I am very intrigued by this beginning. I can't wait to find out more about Xian and Spencer and what's going on in SF.
