Adams (a joint pseudonym for C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp) delivers a satisfying third Celia Graves adventure to follow 2010's Blood Song and Siren Song. Bodyguard by profession, vampire by accident, and siren by heritage, Celia leads a life of excitement and turmoil, struggling to control her bloodlust and dark impulses even as she discovers new abilities. Her attempts to maintain a normal existence are stymied by anti-vampire prejudice, a death curse, and a demonic invasion that could destroy the world. Her only hope lies in finding a set of long-lost artifacts, deciphering the prophecies of a deceased friend, and persuading quarrelsome allies to work together. This series just keeps getting better, maintaining a delicate balance between urban fantasy and paranormal romance. The emotional components are just as strong as the action sequences, set against an increasingly interesting world. Review "Urban fantasy gets a noteworthy talent boost as Adams—C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp—launches a vibrant new series featuring an indomitable and likeable heroine.  As Celia's world darkens and intensifies, witty dialogue and introspection keep the story flowing.

Celia Graves was once an ordinary human, but those days are long gone. Now she strives to maintain her sanity and her soul while juggling both vampire abilities and the powers of a Siren.   Not every bride needs a bridesmaid who can double as a bodyguard. But Celia's cousin Adriana is no ordinary bride: she's a Siren princess, and she's marrying the king of a small but politically important European country. She's getting death threats from fanatics who want to see the whole Siren race wiped out—including Celia herself, who is half Siren. Luckily, Celia is on duty when a trip to a bridal salon is interrupted by an assassination attempt, so everyone survives. When Adriana returns to the Siren homeland to try to prevent a coup, Celia is free to hunt for the terrorists and the vile mage who is helping them (while keeping her eyes open for the perfect maid-of-honor dress).  Assuming the bride and groom both live to see their wedding day, this will be one royal wedding no one will ever forget

Celia Graves was once an ordinary human, but those days are long gone. Now she strives to maintain her sanity and her soul while juggling both vampire abilities and the powers of a Siren. Warned of a magical “bomb” at a local elementary school, Celia forces an evacuation. Oddly, the explosion seems to have no effect, puzzling both Celia and the FBI. Two weeks later, a strangely persistent bruise on Celia’s leg turns out to be the first sign of a magical zombie plague. Finding the source of the plague isn’t Celia’s only concern. Her alcoholic mother has broken out of prison on the Sirens’ island; her little sister’s ghost has possessed a young girl; and one of Celia’s boyfriends, a powerful mage, has disappeared.

Охранный бизнес Селии Грейвз трещит по швам. Причины понятны — кто же захочет связываться с вампиршей-«недоделком», которая к тому же еще и является принцессой из королевского рода сирен? Впрочем, Селия и не думает жаловаться — события последних дней настолько ее утомили, что небольшой отпуск ей не повредит. Беда в том, что демоны нашли лазейку в наш мир, и отдохнуть как следует Селии не удастся. Ведь среди многочисленной орды ее врагов есть демон, который хочет отомстить Селии лично. Впервые на русском языке!

Мир недалекого будущего… Города кишат магами, оборотнями и монстрами, и все они как-то уживаются друг с другом. Селия Грейвз, гордая и независимая красавица, а к тому же и волк-одиночка, — имеет свой собственный бизнес в Лос-Анджелесе. Она телохранитель-профи, специализируется на защите VIP-клиентов от папарацци, фанатов, вампиров, демонов и прочей нежити. Но и у Селии бывают проблемы. Охраняя наследного принца, она подвергается атаке кровососов и… превращается в «недоделка»-полувампира, частично потерявшего память! Теперь Селия замешана в темной истории. Может, все дело в таинственном «повелителе», который ее укусил? Ведь он намерен превратить девушку в свою компаньонку, но пока что скрывается! Или загвоздка в ком-то еще? Селия не сдается! Она хочет докопаться до истины и начинает вести расследование…

Частному телохранителю Селии Грейвз не везет. Мало того, что она сама превратилась в «недоделка»-полувампира, в жилах которого течет кровь настоящих морских сирен, так еще ее лучшая подруга Вики погибла при загадочных обстоятельствах и стала призраком. В довершение всех бед Селию подставили и ей предстоит суд. А на горизонте замаячил бывший бойфренд Бруно. И оказывается, у этого крутого мага появился соперник с Западного побережья. Тем временем король крошечной Руслундии уверен, что именно Селия спасет его страну от катастрофы. Да и родственницы-сирены то и дело донимают новоявленную сестричку интригами и колдовством. Селию затягивает в водоворот! Но она снова пытается совладать с ситуацией. А как же иначе?
