Book SynopsisNo one knows about them. No one is ready. The false gods are coming. In seven days, I have to surrender myself to a demon. That was what I agreed to. That was the price to rescue a teenage girl. What would you do with your last week? My plan to drink good whisky and relax got shot to hell within hours when the police, who hate me by the way, begged for my help. They have a murder with… strange circumstances. I only need one look at the pictures to know they look like werewolf wounds. Could the killer we are chasing be my friend the snarky werewolf? I certainly hope not because I’m not sure he can be stopped. As I chase across Europe, with my time running out, the body count continues to rise. That’s not my only problem though. Clandestine organisation, The Alliance, are enacting their own agenda, which seems to include me whether I like it or not, the rescued girl’s father wants to sue me, and the demon I killed is back to get his revenge. It’s going to be a tough week.Trade Review"Fantastic story from beginning to end! The characters and situations are so well described that the reader is right there in a front row seat to all the madness and mayhem! At times I found myself holding my breath even! A story told so well that, even as fantastical as it is, it could be believable!"; "Been looking for a series that could capture my attention like the Harry Dresden books for a long time. Have read a few that claim to rival them, but they never do. This series comes really close. Well written, great characterisation, good plots and world building, thoroughly enjoying what I've read so far."; "Brilliant series, very well written with edgy and either really likable or despicable characters. And it is good enough to read again as I am now. All this authors books are excellent and he has at least 3 other series that are not paranormal and I absolutely love them, which is a surprise to me!"
