Hidden Blade by Pippa DaCostaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Three and a half stars.
Think hard-boiled PI with a pantheon of ancient gods as clients, a cat goddess as an ex-wife and a mortal enemy as his PA.
Ace Dante was kicked out of the underworld and forced to live in the mortal realm. He is responsible for banishing gods and demons when (usually) stupid college kids think it would be a laugh to summon them. Then his ex-wife Bastet hires him to look into the murders of pregnant women under her protection, an investigation which uncovers all sorts of dirty secrets.
I really enjoyed this, it was kind of a mash-up of all sorts of genres and face-paced and didn't take itself too seriously. I feel like this is either a follow up series or maybe there was a prequel novella as there seems to be lot of past history which isn't really explained.
Overall, really enjoyed this and would happily read the next one.
Also, it was free on Kindle!
