Back to the Paranormal Realm

Faery Moon by P.R. Frost is the third of the Tess Noncoire books. I stumbled across the first one and it was such a wild premise that I had to keep reading. Tess is a science fiction author. She had lost her husband of three months in a terrible motel fire and in her grief seemed to have lost her way. Somehow she found herself at the Citadel and on her way to becoming a Celestial Blade Warrior, one of those trained to protect our world against demons from other dimensions - I said it was a wild premise! By the third book, she and her mother are at a writer's conference in Las Vegas. Her partner in demon fighting is the unexpected little imp named Scrap. He is a loud-mouthed, cigar chomping, gay little being who can only be seen and heard byTess,and a good thing it is,too. He has a pretty crude way about him, but he is loyal, cunning and can go between dimensions. Las Vegas is not all fun and games for these two - although, Tess's mother, comes into her own as a chantreuse in the hotel lounge. When they go to the most popular show in Vegas - Faery Moon - Tess quickly realizes that the dancers really are faeries and they need to get back to their home before there is a terrible imbalance in all dimensions.
Tess will finally chose between the two men who claim to love her and have her heart broken by a terrible loss. More Tess and Scrap, please.
