Einziger Kritikpunkt aktuell: Piper könnte ein bisschen von Attitude verlieren und ab und zu zumindest mal Danke sagen.
Am Anfang mochte ich das noch sehr aber hinten raus war es nur anstrengend

This was a really good book! I like the main character and her sidekick! The world is pretty interesting, though we don’t dive that deep into it.
There are also not that many characters.
It is still a pretty fun read, and I am looking forward to the next one!

Ooh this was sooo good. I flew through it. I could not put it down. I can't wait to learn more about all the characters. Such a great way to keep everyone interested. Just enough about each one to keep everyone reading.

Touched by Fire is book one in the Demons of New Chicago by Kel Carpenter.
I’m pleasantly surprised with this book find. I had a lot fun and didn’t know it would turn out so good. I really enjoyed the world-building. The author gives use just the right amount of information to not bog us down or dump information on use. The characters are entertaining, engaging, and lots of fun. The story is a fast-paced suspenseful Urban Fantasy.
Piper is a kick-ass strong heroine. I enjoyed her sass and personality. She runs herself ragged trying to fix the situation she finds herself in. She’s not had an easy life and its even less easier now; because she had a job to do and well it didn’t go as planed and know the consequences are disastrous.
We meet Nathalie a witch and Piper must learn to trust her. I liked their budding friendship. Piper needs a friend and alley.
Now there is a possible romance, but it’s not a priority for Piper. There could be two possibilities and neither are really a great option for our strong willed heroine. We have her boss who puts a claim on her, but nope that shouldn’t happen. Then we have Ronan, a demon, who is sexy as he is mysterious. It seems the story is going like the fated mates, but theirs questions and surprises. Who knows what will happen in the romance department.
Touched by Fire was a terrific surprise. It’s not a happy Urban Fantasy, but leans more towards the dark; due to our heroine who’s tortured. I enjoyed the fast-paced action and look forward to diving into book two.
Rated: 4 Stars

This series grabbed me from the first chapter and didn't let go. A bounty hunter working for Lucifer in supernatural Chicago who accidentally helps summon a demon who won't let her go? Sign me tf up. Piper was a total BAMF. She wasn't afraid to shoot first, ask questions later. Every character along the journey was well written and added depth to the plotline. I loved Nathalie and Ronan the most. I wish more was explained about the world and how it came to be as readers found it. The Illuminati would also be an interesting story. All in all; spicy, addicting, and enjoyable! I highly recommend this urban fantasy series!

Touched by Fire by Kel Carpenter
A dark, fast-paced fantasy following powerful FMC Piper and her mission to find a cure for the one person left that she loves on earth. She has a dangerous job hunting down supernatural beings and has the highest kill count out of all the monster chasers and is the most qualified for the more dangerous jobs. She is offered the largest job yet but decides to take matters into her own hands and it goes terribly wrong. Now, not only does she have a price on her head for disobeying her boss, but she also has a demon hell-bent (pun intended) on keeping her for himself. This story has all sorts of paranormal creatures, one of which is currently a mystery to not only everyone but to herself as well and she knows the only way to stay alive is to stick with the most powerful woman she knows. Piper.
This is a short story, fast-paced and entertaining with interesting characters and premise. There is action, grumpy sunshine, enemies to still enemies but two are smitten and the grumpy one is fighting the attraction with all she has. A love triangle that the FMC wants no part of but has little choice in the matter. Cryptic? Yes, but the book isn't long enough to get into details without giving away too much.
