Siobhan didn't believe in magic - until the magic chose her. She's been warned it's evil, but with her grandmother felled by a deadly curse, she must make a bargain with the local Fairie prince - the return of their sacred Jewel in exchange for her grandmother's life. And it just might work too - if only she can escape the dark witch who's made Siobhan her prey in the hunt for a deadly blood spell
Tyler Palewhite:Soft-Boiled Detective

Just finished reading Tyler Palewhite, softboiled detective.
Wow, the ending was pretty intense! I liked this book, I felt Tyler was a sympathetic character who grew throughout the story, and would be interested in reading his further adventures. As an author myself, I could sympathize with Tyler's efforts to get his novel published and the falsehood he resorted to, to get what he knew to be a good novel out of the slush pile. The rocky transitions could be easily solved by double spacing between scene changes
