This is the Dew's first foray into Urban Fantasy - but how can we pass it up when it all takes place in Underground Atlanta?!?

Charlie - single mother, Integration Task Force Cop, recently dead but now back on the job. Girl's got a lot going on.

She and her partner - by the way her partner is not from Earth but happens to be a real hottie - are on the "make sure everyone plays nice with the other species" task force in Atlanta.

A decade ago scientists discovered doors to other dimensions and learned how to open them. Since then, the world has been flooded with "foreigners" from other realms of reality and keeping them all in line takes a lot of work.

You have to be careful too, as Charlie learned after she was killed by one and brought back to life.

Things start getting really sticky when a new drug shows up from "somewhere" that instantly knocks a person into a coma that they either stay in forever, or die from. Charlie and her partner must track down the individuals spreading the drug around before things get out of hand in the city.

This is a good police procedural story that just happens to be in the future and filled with other dimensions and the occasional gargoyle.

If you enjoy fantasy, it will be an interesting read for you.

Welcome to the Dew Book Review Section!

Welcome to the Book Review Section at the Dew!

If you are a publishing house or author who has a book Southern in nature, or by a Southern writer, that you would like the Dew to review, please contact me at dewonthekudzu@gmail.com and I will provide you mailing information. (Wink wink, nudge nudge... the Dew has been getting a little lax about the Southern rule recently... just saying.)

The Dew tries it's best to have a review online as close to the publication date as possible, depending on the number of books waiting for review.

Please note, book reviews are the Dew's "business". The Dew does NOT post it's reviews on other sites. Please do not request that we do so. Thank you.

BUT, if I review your book, you may feel free to share it wherever you wish!
