The Vanishing Tome (An Urban Fantasy) - The Netherworld Archives, #1

Warning to fellow portal walkers: Never linger within ten feet of an active portal. They lose patience. They get hungry. And you could end up in a realm where you're at the bottom of the food chain. #HardLessons I am no one, but I have secrets I have sharpened into blades. Underestimate me, please. Be my fuel. I am more than just Tess, the young woman who lives alone in a cramped studio on the third floor of a creaky house.
I'm a paranormal investigator at Shadow Chasers, I have a friend (one's better than none) and I have a secret from the past that fuels my vengeance. I'll solve the mystery of the missing pages. I'll avenge my colleague's death. So, send all your flying demons, vampire thralls, necromancers, skinless armies, even your dragon. Yeah, I said dragon. A hot dragon. I mean he's hot in different ways depending on which form he takes.
In his human form, Killian Tierney is. pure lava. Bring it on, beasts of the Netherworld. I like my odds. Well, of course I don't like my odds, but I won't stop, because the more you take, the more power I summon. Beware, all who take me lightly. I can be what you are, but you can never be me. ***THE VANISHING TOME is a thrilling urban fantasy novel with a kickass heroine set in Madison, Wisconsin, and a parallel dimension or two.
It's filled with sharp wit, action, mystery, magic, unlikely friendships, slow burn romance and heart-stopping suspense.***
