This story is about a vampire who 'came out' and, along with a close friend, helped to revolutionise the paranormal movement. This was not without consequences and, as such, Sadie works away the night trying hard to grow her paranormal business.
From the very start, you are in the thick of the action and find out just how inconvenient being staked can be. Although not life-threatening (she is dead, after all) she reports it to the police and deals with a new detective who becomes the love interest. However, their romance certainly doesn't overshadow the rest of the story. In fact, for most of it, they're not dating as she is a suspect on multiple murders plus there's the whole cahooney of vampire and werewolf attacks. She doesn't really have time for romance!
Sadie is sharp, quick-witted and sarcastic - character aspects that I love in either the main male or female. Vance is the perfect foil for her and certainly can give as much as he takes. The supporting characters are all interesting in their own right but help to make the mystery part of this book more interesting.
A humorous and intriguing start to a new series. Recommended for all Paranormal Mystery Romance fans.

The story follows holmes and Watson as they try to solve multiple murders & features classic Sherlock Holmes character Moriarty.
The game features some near perfect voice overs in very well built london areas.
During the game you are able to combine items in you inventory in order to progress, although knowing what and when can become mind numbing.
The control's are simple but character movement can be a tad bit glitchy (I just opened the closed inventory, it works)
The hint option is something I personally consider as broken...having to tap the left trigger when available and having to be facing the objective is annoying.
I love puzzles in games but in this case there isn't much to enjoy as there's no indication of what to do to complete it (not all are difficult)
There are times where you are able to play as watson which oddly seems better?
There's no auto save but it is a pre gen game.
The game has a nice mix of light and dark tones and to tend to put your brain to work.
