"I may have been a whole damn mess, but I was a whole damn mess on a mission."

Half-succubus attorney Lily Knight has blood on her hands.

Haunted by guilt, behind on her rent, and facing professional disgrace, Lily must figure out how to survive in the wreckage of her former life. To make ends meet, she accepts a contract job she never wanted but can’t refuse—hunting another demon murderer. This time, the victims are human, and a shadowy government agency will reward Lily with a way out of her dire financial straits.

If Lily doesn’t solve the case before the news gets out, fear and hatred will put all demonkind at risk from the proverbial torch-carrying mob. But when a young succubus on the run from the authorities begs for her help, Lily faces a new conflict of interest—especially after the suspect, Eve, reveals her father is Lily’s old …

Half-succubus attorney Lily Knight has blood on her hands.

To make ends meet, she accepts a contract job she never wanted but can’t refuse—hunting another demon murderer. This time, the victims are human, and a shadowy government agency will reward Lily with a way out of her dire financial straits.

If Lily doesn’t solve the case before the news gets out, fear and hatred will put all demonkind at risk from the proverbial torch-carrying mob. But when a young succubus on the run from the authorities begs for her help, Lily faces a new conflict of interest—especially after the suspect, Eve, reveals her father is Lily’s old frenemy.

Now Lily must juggle the pressures of a high-stakes murder case, her complicated relationship with her “not-boyfriend” Sebastian, and responsibility for a wayward teenager as she races to find the real culprit.

When her investigation brings her face to face with an ancient, implacable entity fixated on bloody justice, Lily must reckon with her worst fear: the truth about what went down with Eve’s father in the desert—and its consequences.

Review of "Cambion's Blood" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I received an arc of this book by being subscribed to Erin Fulmer's newsletter.

I only got it last week and I don't have any reading time right now, but I made time for this! I enjoyed Lily's adventures in her inaugural story, Cambion's Law. I wanted to see what she would get up to and how the epilogue of that book played out.

Fulmer is great at introducing all the characters that are of importance early-on, and the villain ends up being a guessing game the whole way through. I'm not always sure about Lily's leaps of logic and at certain points, I was sure she had the wrong end of the stick (sometimes she did but sometimes I was wrong.)

The not-boyfriend story continues from book 1 (how not? City Owl is a Romance publisher.) Probably the thing I liked least about the story was the twist included …

Overall, this is a fun, relatively fast read where the worldbuilding around this cambion is engaging and continually expanding.

The Epilogue of this book has me on the edge of my seat for book 3! (Please tell me there's a book 3 in the works.)
