Kate Kane, Paranormal Investigator Series, Book 1

By: Alexis Hall

Narrated by: Cat Gould

I like my women like I like my whiskey: more than is good for me.

Name's Kane, Kate Kane. I'm a paranormal private investigator, which is like a normal private investigator except - and stop me if you're having trouble following this - more paranormal. This business comes with a few basic rules: don't start drinking before noon, don't get your partner killed, don't sleep with the woman who killed him.

Last year I broke all of them.

The only rule I didn't break was the one that said don't work for vampires. But then a dead werewolf showed up outside the Soho shag palace of Julian Saint-Germain - a bloodsucking flibbertigibbet who's spent the last eight centuries presiding over an ever-growing empire of booze, sex, and hemoglobin.

I shouldn't have taken the job. The last thing I needed was to get caught in a supernatural smackdown between a werewolf pack and a vampire prince. Even if the vampire prince was dangerously my type. But what can I say? I was broke, I'm a sucker for a pretty face and I gave up on making good decisions a long time ago.

Contains mature themes.

Interesting, Funny, and Romantic.

I like this book because there is a lot of action mixed with witty and funny humor. As well as some romance. I would recommend this book to someone that likes the paranormal fantasy and humor, mixed with a little bit of romance.

Pitch perfect performance of a beloved favorite 💜

I love the Kate Kane books so much. This is my 3rd reading of this book, and every time I'm amazed by how they just get better with every reading. Kate is such a great character, one of my favorites from Alexis Hall, and the pitch perfectly vocal performance here was the icing on the cake

Very Enjoyable, Narration Could Improve

The story is quite entertaining and I enjoyed it, but, as others have noted, the narrator doesn’t do as good a job differentiating between characters as you’d like. Yes, there’s lots of lesbian sex, which is delightfully written.

Added Title, Author, and Narrator to favorites list

Sarcasm, murders, vampires, faeries, and Sapphic romance. What more could a girl ask for? Enjoyed the narration, only criticism is that there is not much differentiate between character voices. Mostly the male voices. Otherwise highly enjoyable.

An all-time great

It's hilarious, entertaining and hot. Gould's narration makes
it shine. Easily the funniest, smartest sapphic fantasy books I've found.
