The Brush-Off: A Hair-raising Mystery ReviewReyn Marten Sawyer owns a small hair salon attached to her house. Her mentor and friend Ricardo, who owns a large chain of salons, is found dead in his salon - stabbed with one of her hairbrushes!
Detective Jackson Scythe is very good looking. He calls and requests Reyn to come over to identify the body. Apparently she was the last person Ricardo called before dying. So she is at the top of his suspect list.
She begins investigating to uncover Ricardo's murderer and to get her life back. She and her best friend and sleuthing partner Trudy Trujillo look for clues. Some of their methods are creative. They are quite surprised when they find that includes talking to drag queens as well as breaking and entering. Ricardo's customers were high society ladies, but getting his list of clients does not prove easy. They have to visit a very strange psychic for help.
With her contacts in the business, Reyn is able to uncover quite a bit of information. Unfortunately Detective Scythe is dogging her every move.
Along the way, Reyn and Trudy find out a lot of hidden information about Ricardo's life, but they aren't sure if it will help them solve his murder.
Reyn ends up putting herself and others in danger. Scythe has his hands full trying to keep her safe. Reyn keeps trying to get out from under his care. This makes for a lot of trouble, but it is fun for the reader.
This is a delightful, funny mystery. Many times I found myself laughing outloud. Ms. Bradley has created a great set of characters. Reyn and Detective Scythe have lots of sexual tension. Trudy, her husband and his mother add a lot of laughs to this book. Trudy and Reyn get themselves in many interesting situations. The San Antonio setting is great, too.
I highly recommend this book! I can't wait to read the next book.The Brush-Off: A Hair-raising Mystery Overview

A Brush of Darkness (Abby Sinclair, Book 1) ReviewReview courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy
I swear my narcissism had nothing to do with my loving A BRUSH OF DARKNESS. Even if the main character hadn't shared my name, I've would have enjoyed this smart, irreverent, and super sexy urban fantasy.
There is so much to like in A BRUSH OF DARKNESS. Toping the list for me is Phineas (who graces the back cover). He's an irrepressibly horny miniature unicorn who ends up moving in with Abby. He's cranky and sarcastic and a huge pervert for such a little thing. Unicorns are always presented as dignified, wise creatures. Phineas is the anti-unicorn.
Unicorns, incubi, succubi, angels, demons, werewolves, vampires, and mermaids. They all fraternize in A BRUSH OF DARKNESS with Abby caught in the middle. I'm always a fan of mixed worlds. Ones were numerous species co-exist. Abby has a basic handle on the supernatural world around her, but is still largely as naïve as we are when it comes to most of the `rules' that govern it.
Urban Fantasy heroines have it rough. We expect a lot from them. They have to be tough, yet still venerable enough to relate to. They have to be strong, yet still make mistakes. They have to be self-sufficient, yet willing to ask for help when they need it. Not all heroines make the cut, but Abby does. And she brings a wicked sense of humor with her.
And I can't forget Brystion. The incubus with a major insecurity complex that he tries to hide behind a blistering sexuality. His self-loathing is a pitiful thing, and something that keeps him from looking too closely at himself. He sees himself essentially as a whore and refuses to let anyone else convince him otherwise. It was fascinating to see that image crack.
I know I didn't fully grasp the mythology in A BRUSH OF DARKNESS with all the touchstones, keystones, dreamwalkers etc. It was a little confusing but not in a way that diminished my enjoyment of the overall story. I imagine more of this world will be explained in future books and I'm more than willing to wait for them.
