Billie Shane wanted Hunting Monsters as her only carrier , though it was not an easy business. At nineteen, her aunt and uncle give her something that means more to her than money—her first solo case. But there’s a catch, and his name is Galileo Beck, a psychic training with the state to help law enforcement with supernatural cases.
Also, Billie has disliked the popular young man since childhood, but unfortunately for her, the case involves his three best friends. The three managed to summon a powerful demon, and though locked in the cemetery, the demon is feeding off of them in order to gain the power to free itself.
With a large festival coming to Eden Hollow, Billie and Galileo must work together if they want to stop not only the death of his friends, but also to save their hometown from becoming a feeding ground for a demon.

Salt and Iron Review:
This was a short, but very entertaining story with an interesting plot and lots of action!
The nice thing about this story is that the author immediately falls into the plot. What starts off as a mystery (on what happened to Gallie’s friends), soon turns out to be a big battle with a demonic hell creature. Moreover, the author describes the setting in such a way that you immediately understand what is happening. In many fantasy novels, it takes time for me to adjust to the world. But I had no trouble with following the plot here. I loved Billie in the main role. Mainly because she reminded me a lot of Buffy, from one of my favorite TV series. In fact the entire story felt like watching an episode of series, which made me nostalgic. Billie’s romance with Galileo was cute and did not sidetrack the plot.
However, the length of the story conflicted me. On one side, it is a short book, and an easy read, and I finished it in one sitting. But, the story felt rushed, especially in the second half. There are so many things happening to various characters like Chase, Damien, Billie, Ulrich, Gallie, Molly etc. As soon as you finish one action packed scene, the author starts another one. I would have enjoyed this if the author gave space to reflect and give readers a breather in between. Hence, at times, I wish the story was longer and detailed. Also, Harlow was very interesting character, but we hardly saw her in this book.
Apart from that, this was a lot of fun and a good start to the series. I look forward to reading the next book!
