After Moonrise by Gena Showalter, P.C. Cast

2.0

Spirits. Romance. Vapid females.

Story: This book contains two novellas from two different authors both set in the same city and about the same detective agency. The first story is about a male detective with psychic powers trying to help a set of female twins. The second story is about a male detective and a blond female artist trying to catch a killer.

Characters : Curtis Raef is an older attractive detective, cold hearted, sarcastic and talks down to women. Lauren Wilcox and her twin are young, attractive and despite how he treats them, they both find Raef irresistible and throw themselves at him. Levi Reid is a rough and tough detective, quick to leap to his gun and other forms of violence. He is sarcastic and treats women like they are objects. This doesn't bother Aurora Harper, who has just moved in down the hall. Named after a Disney Princess, she is blond, waif like, and throws her full trust and body to Levi without any hesitation. Both males are misogynistic and all three females are vapid.

Language: This book contains Harlequin level sexual content and it's cast is made up of adults who all think and speak like 12 year old girls. The plot of the first book is extraordinary flimsy and whole the plot in the second book is more original, it's horrible characters drag the novella down.

This is my first reading experience of both authors and I have zero interest in pursuing any of their books in the future.
