Dorianne Grey is a dark fantasy/fantasy romance.
The world we know has changed and magic is the new norm. After experiencing a traumatic event that changes her forever, Dorianne enjoys her life of solitude that is until Theodore steps into her life, working with his team to team to solve a murder mystery, Dorianne has piqued his interest.

The story takes a unique twist on paranormal murder mystery, which I found interesting.
It was a good, quick read, Murphy did a good job with world building, storyline and characters.

Definitely for those that enjoy paranormal/witchy/magic, murder mystery reads.

Thank you so much for this ARC.

Dorianne is isolated in her house haunted by demons that dwell within her shadows, working with the SIA to help track down power-hungry covens with her incredible tracking abilities.

Theo is a detective working for the SIA to replace Rebecca. With questions surrounding events of his past, he seeks out the help of Dorianne, as he is now her handler.

His curiosity is peaked during conversations through her door. He has to meet her, speak to her face to face.

Dorianne is reluctant yet yearns for experiences from when she was once human.

This is a quick and easy read, very interesting premise and magic. Will they find love, or will her shadow demons kill him for his interest in her?

I thoroughly enjoyed diving into the pages of this book featuring the intriguing duo of Dorianne Grey and Theo Slater. Theo, a detective with a unique approach, partners with Dorianne, a witch ostracized by her own coven, now residing in solitude within an ancient house. Their clandestine communication unfolds through notes exchanged between doors, until Theo resolves to meet Dorianne face-to-face. I'm eagerly awaiting the evolution of their relationship and Dorianne's potential journey back to her former life, although I'll steer clear of spoilers, as there are undoubtedly obstacles to overcome.

Set against a post-apocalyptic backdrop where humanity wields magic, a paranormal police force works to maintain equilibrium. Dorianne, now a shadowy consultant, grapples with the aftermath of a profound betrayal that reshaped her existence. It's within this turbulent landscape that Theo, an agent of the SIA, intersects with her path, sparking a collision of worlds.

The narrative is steeped in darkness and mystery, providing both thrills and suspense. I found myself deeply invested in the characters and the eerie yet captivating world they inhabit. Although the shifting perspectives and lingering questions posed occasional challenges, I couldn't put the book down, finishing it in a single day.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
