Blog Tour: Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective by Christine Amsden

Publisher: Twilight Times Books
Date of publication: May 2013

Cassie Scot is the ungifted daughter of powerful sorcerers, born between worlds but belonging to neither. At 21, all she wants is to find a place for herself, but earning a living as a private investigator in the shadow of her family’s reputation isn’t easy. When she is pulled into a paranormal investigation, and tempted by a powerful and handsome sorcerer, she will have to decide where she truly belongs.

My thoughts:

I can always tell how much I enjoy a book by how fast I read it. Cassie Scot: ~~Para~~normal Detective was a book I read in one sitting. I was intrigued from the first chapter and kept reading because I had to know what was going to happen to Cassie next.

The characters were great. I loved Cassie. She has grown up the oldest in a family of seven kids. Yet, she is the only one with no magically abilities. That had to be a tough life growing up. Despite this, she has spunk and is willing to go after what she wants. I felt so badly for here when her parents disowned her without a real explanation. How sad!

I liked the world that the author has set up in the book. I was expecting sorcerers and witches, but not vampires. Really evil and not swoon worthy vampires. I really liked that! There are some great twists in the story that keep the reader guessing. The ending leaves room for the next book and a hint that things aren't as they seem with Cassie and Evan. I look forward to reading more about Cassie in the next book!
