"Fantastic paranormal romantic suspense thriller"
The veil keeps the demons from crossing from their world
Orcus to Crimson City where humans, vampires, werewolves
and other species live in a fragile peace. For a demon to
penetrate the veil they must be summoned from the other
side. Few can cross back and forth at will; half-breed
Mika Noguchi is one of those as a hybrid human-demon.
Surprisingly she is even a rarer breed as she gets along
nicely with her maternal and paternal families. The Orcus Council orders Mika to find a hybrid peer demon
hunter Conor McCabe in Crimson City. He apparently
possesses an ancient summoning spell that they want. She
comes to him asking for his protection; he reluctantly
agrees but wonders what her real agenda is. When a demon
tries to kill her, he saves her life. Other attempts on
one or the other follow leading to the conclusion at least
two groups want their respective target dead. THROUGH A CRIMSON VEIL is a fantastic paranormal romantic
suspense thriller that never slows down from the moment
that Conor wets Mika's panties with orange juice only
fourteen hours after they meet until the final explosive
climax. The story line is action-packed, but the two
protagonists seem genuine and the audience will believe
they are hybrids. Interestingly, Mika knows from the
moment she meets Conor he is her soulmate, but leaves him
in the dark because he is not accepting of the obvious.

SummaryLos Angeles. Once, it was the City of Angels. Now, it's
Crimson City, whose inhabitants know nothing of Heaven.
The tentative peace between the species—werewolf, vampire,
human—teeters on the brink of collapse. Sides are being
chosen. Yet the peril is greater than any imagine. There
is a power here that longs for release, an ancient darkness
held captive too long. Below, beneath, beyond, it
seethes. And there are those who would see it freed.
Mika herself seeks freedom. She's come to Crimson City
looking for the key. But that key's keeper is a killer, an
outsider, a mercenary with a poisoned past. To her kind,
he has meant only death. No matter that Conor McCabe's
pale green eyes hold a hint of lust, the glint of a bond
never to be broken; the path ahead lies in shadow. In a
city like this, death can come by fire or fang, by claw or
kiss. And the moment of truth must come...
