Rune & Claw (The Adam Saint Series Book 1)

Someone has been dropping bodies in an attempt to complete a ritual that will threaten the very foundation of our society and change the world forever - but will Portland's new, untested peacekeeper realize the truth in time?

Adam Saint is a smart mouth apprentice-come-partner to Portland's semi-official supernatural 'sheriff' - his own Uncle, crotchety mage Peter Saint. However, when Uncle Pete's body turns up, apparently the victim of a vicious animal attack, it falls to Adam to discover the truth about his Uncle's death, and the last case he was on that lead to his untimely end.

In fact, gorgeous shifter Cole Ashcroft quite literally falls on Adam's doorstep in the wake of the tragedy, leading Adam into a quest for answers and revenge that culminates in the discovery of a brave new world, a terrifyingly ancient one, and an unexpected and, perhaps, untimely attraction.

Joined by newly enlightened Detective Vanessa Phelps, the two men will face the first of many difficult days together in the opening foray of this Urban Paranormal Fantasy ride by new authors Simon Strange and Artemis Olsen.

This series features a gay, snarky main character, doing gay, snarky things on or around his gay love interest - if any of those offend you, don't say you weren't warned. This book is not particularly explicit, but that's no guarantee the next one won't be. You can only hang around a man like Cole so long before clothes start to fly...
