Glimmer of The OtherBlurb: I can tell when you're lying. Every. Single. Time.I'm Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill - but let's face it, it's not normal. You'd think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven't been able to track down my parent's killers.When I'm hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar - yet my gut tells me there's more to this case than a party girl gone wild. Firstly, she's a bookish soul who's as likely to go off the rails as Mother Theresa. Secondly, I'm not the only one on her trail; she's also being tracked by the implacable and oh-so-sexy Inspector Stone.Stone and I team up, and he shoves me into a realm where magic is real - a place where there are vampires and werewolves, dragons and trolls. And where my skills are more than just detecting lies...Oh, and my dog? He's a freaking hell hound who can manipulate the magical realms themselves.I need to find the girl.I need to discover who killed my parents.And I need to find out more about the attractive but mysterious Zachary Stone...Except: 'What about porn?' I asked innocently. The car swerved.'Christ, ' Stone muttered. 'What about porn?' 'Is there like ... vampire on dragon action?'He squeezed the bridge of his nose. 'God, I hope not. For one thing, they're sworn enemies.' He slid me a glance before looking away quickly. 'Cross-species relationships exist in the Other.' He cleared his throat. 'So there is cross-species porn. Not that I've seen any.' Lie.'Truth seeker, ' I said in a sing-song voice. He reddened. After a minute he said, 'I investigated an illegal porn ring. I had to watch it to review the evidence.' He sounded extremely awkward, but his words rang with truth. Hmmm.'But did you ever watch it on any other occasion?' He didn't answer, and I snickered. He turned the music on, and I laughed louder. 'You know, having a partner is kind of fun, ' I teased. 'Is that what we are, Jinx? Partners?' He turned on the smoulder, his gaze hot and heavy. Description: Fans of Annette Marie, Helen Harper and Kim Richardson will love this series. This is a fun urban fantasy mystery novel featuring a women sleuth, with vampires, hell hounds and dragon shifters.

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 An enjoyable new-to-me fantasy series. Jinx became a private investigator at a young age to find out who murdered her parents. Now with an established business, she still hasn‘t answered that question. But she does learn that she is a wizard, that her parents were wizards, and that her pet Great Dane is really a Hell Hound. And that‘s just the first chapter. Recommended.

I just started this audiobook and I‘m hoping the foolishness of calling a ginormous dog “Gatto” or “Gato” will be revealed soon. Because in Italian and Spanish it means “cat.” Otherwise I‘m enjoying the book.

Just finished Glimmer of Other, Book 1 of The Other Realm. I took a chance on the 4-book series during an audible sale & it paid off. I liked book 1.

Jessica “Jinx” Sharp is a smart, cool-headed heroine. Yes, she has some baggage (who doesn‘t), but she uses her brain and stays cool in a crisis. The world building is solid, as Jinx learns, we learn. I‘m curious to see where book 2 goes.
