Publication Date: August 21, 2023
Enjoy this urban fantasy by best-selling author Deborah Wilde. Featuring a smart, snarky heroine and a slow burn, second chance, vampire romance, this paranormal adventure will keep you reading way past bedtime.
She’s just a demon, standing in front of a vampire, trying not to punch him.
Aviva Fleischer has a secret life.
To all appearances she’s a paragon of the magic community. She’s from a respected family and has become a top supernatural operative policing crimes committed by magic humans. In fact, Aviva is about to be promoted to head up her own unit, all by the age of thirty. Exactly as planned.
But should anyone ever learn that she’s a half-demon—an infernal—her entire life will go scorched earth. In her world, vampires are celebrated like rock stars, but demons, their kissing cousins, are reviled and hunted. Talk about a double standard.
Then a rash of bizarre murders break out and the Powers That Be opt to make her co-leader of a special new squad. One that mixes humans with their vampire counterparts—investigators who hunt down rogue vamps and demons.
Co-leader? Seriously? That major wrench in her leadership plans is bad enough, but even worse? She’s being partnered with Ezra Cardoso, jet set vamp and playboy extraordinaire. Aviva should know—he broke her heart six years ago.
Ezra is also the only one other than her mom who she’s trusted with her secret. Will he betray her to get ahead? Try it: she’s got a wooden stake with his name on it.
Dive in now for a demonically good time!
Aviva loves nothing more than to take down the bad guys, no matter if they are human, vampire, or shedim. She’s well on her way to a coveted promotion when she is forced to team up with her worst nightmare.
Author Deborah Wilde rolls out an action-filled urban fantasy with an extra heaping of snarkiness in Big Demon Energy. Teaming Aviva up with Ezra Cardoso, her first love and ex-boyfriend, is a recipe for a fiery explosion.
The author creates an interesting world where the police use magic to help fix the wrongs of society. The reference to “Maccabees” is fascinating, as is the breakdown of the different magic colors and what they do.
Together with their team, Aviva and Ezra investigate a series of unusual murders. While Ezra already knows Aviva’s darkest secret about Cherry Bomb, the Brimstone Baroness. Between Cherry and Sachie, the one-liners keep everything lively.
Big Demon Energy offers a perfect opportunity for readers new to the genre to test the waters in a storyline filled with supernatural fighting, engaging dialog, and plenty of chemistry between the two main characters.
Former screenwriter, global wanderer, and total cynic with a broken edit button, Deborah Wilde writes funny, sexy urban fantasy and paranormal women’s fiction.
Smart, sassy women who can solve a mystery, kick supernatural butt, banter with hot men, and still make time for their best female friend are the cornerstones of Deborah’s stories. Her books are beloved by readers craving magic adventures, swoon worthy steamy romances, hilarity, and happily ever after.
