A Brush of Darkness by Allison Pang
4.0
I am not always a fan of paranormal romance. It's almost always action between the sheets [or wherever] and I like more action on the streets. This was a fairly decent mixture. Not ass-kickin' action, but a strong resilient female lead character. Abby has been through a lot with losing family, her life's blood love of being a dancer, and surviving each seizure that comes upon her.
She's trying to put her life back together and is working in a magical bookstore and is in charge of the mystical market that opens after hours.
Not sure how I feel about Brystion, the male lead. He's an incubus, therefore is all about the sex. Thankfully, for me, there is a balance and I didn't find myself counting how many ways one can say male member/hot torpedo of desire/turgid love stick....btw, none of these were used here....
He's got some weaknesses and strengths. And secrets.
An intriguing premise of art imitating life and I love the magical after-hours market where celestial and Other folk meet and purchase.
The unicorn, Phineas, makes me laugh. He's not your usual unicorn.....
I liked this book and will continue with the series and look for anything else Allison Pang writes.
