Embers by Laura Bickle

This is a surprisingly original urban fantasy introducing Anya Kalinczyk a Detroit arson investigator whose evening job, working with a group of ghost hunters, is starting to invade her work for the Detroit Fire Department. Her latest case is a string of fires that feature only one connection—a mysterious symbol on the floor of each building. Suspecting a supernatural connection she finds herself enlisting her team and the ghosts of Detroit to help. Part mystery and part demon-summoning horror this has an interesting take on Detroit, a fascinating mythology, characters I want to know more about, and a scene stealing elemental salamander named Sparky. I’m looking forward to the sequel Sparks, due out in late Aug 2010. Fans of Kat Richardson ( Greywalker), Patricia Briggs ( Moon Called), and Rob Thurman (Trick of the Light) should check this out.
