STAR STRUCK
Jesse James Dawson was once an ordinary man until he discovered that demons were real, and fighting them meant putting his own soul on the line. His new case is a beauty: Gretchen Keene, a Hollywood starlet who's become an unwitting catalyst in an all-out demon war. It's not her soul Jesse needs to protect, but the two-hundred-and-seventy-six others she's carting around--all the souls sold to spend just one night with the blonde bombshell. That's a lot of baggage, although it might explain her meteoric rise to fame. And it's all up for grabs by the demon world.
All Jesse has to do is keep her safe until New Years. Sounds easy. But darkness is casting a nasty shadow in the California sun--a new unseen enemy is closing in and leaving Jesse to wonder, how do you fight something you can't see coming?

What are you waiting on this week?
Kayla is out of town for a family emergency and not participating this week. Tune in next week for both picks!
Never heard of this series. Not sure if it's for me or not. *ponders*
ReplyDeleteDoes it have a western aspect? The name of the character makes me expect that.
My WoW.
It's urban fantasy. Jesse James Dawson is a Champion. A martial artist, katana wielding, armor using Champion.
ReplyDeleteIf you make a bad bargain with a demon (when aren't they bad!), and eternity in hell gives you cold feet, Champions are those who fight for your soul. Jesse is a family man, putting his life, and soul, on the line to save the souls of others.
Really good UF in my opinion. I'm a sucker for martial arts, swords and demon fighting. It's also quite funny, and the fact Jesse has a wife and kid to take care of give it a touch of real to me.
Hope you give the first book, A Devil in the Details, a try and enjoy it as much as I did. :)
Wow! He's certainly got a task cut out for him.
