Silver Light
by Matthew S. Cox and J.R. Rain
From J.R. Rain and Matthew S. Cox, the bestselling duo that brought you New Moon Rising and Convergence, comes Silver Light, the first in a brand-new fantasy series starring Alexis Silver, mermaid detective!
For centuries, tales have told of merfolk haunting the seas, strange creatures teasing or helping sailors at their whim, occasionally having them for dinner.
And not in a cordial sense.
Alexis Silver was ahead of her time, a woman too smart to fit into society at the turn of the century. She gave up her dreams of higher education for love, marrying young, but her husband, and the life she wanted, perished in World War I soon after. Heartbroken and restless, she booked passage on a cruise along the West Coast in search of adventure, but adventure found her.
The ship capsized, killing everyone on board, except for her. As she drifted far beneath the waves, inexplicably alive, the reason for her survival flashed by in a streak of silver: a merman.
He had passed along the curse-or gift as Alexis sees it.
A century later, she breaks up the monotony of immortality in the Pacific Northwest working as a private investigator. The long-dormant maternal instincts of her resident Dark Master kick in when a nice older couple hire her to find their missing son and his family. Her instincts tell her this isn't like her usual jilted-spouse cases.
If she doesn't work fast, a little girl is going to die.
★★★★★ "After finishing New Moon Rising, which J.R. Rain and Matthew Cox collaborated on to tell the story of Samantha Moon prior to her being turned into a vampire, I immediately wanted to read Silver Light which was again written by both authors who in their own right are amazing.
Silver Light is an engrossing story of Alexis Silver who was turned into a mermaid after a ship she was sailing on sank into the deep ocean. She has become a PI and along with the dark entity that has taken up residence in her, they become one kick-ass team of solving cases for those who need their service.
This was a well written story with amazing characters. Alexis is so likable that I can’t wait to read more of her in future stories. With her winning personality and calming ways to help people in need, you can’t help but like her. The new world of Alexis that J.R. and Matthew have created is nothing short of magnificent! Their writing techniques blend so well together and make the story flow flawlessly. If you are a fan of either of these authors or are just looking for an extraordinary new book to read, then pick up Silver Light and lose yourself in this amazing world of Alexis Silver!" ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "An entertaining read with the twist of the main character being a mermaid private investigator. The buildup of the supernatural powers of a mermaid are well developed and draw the reader into this storyline. It is refreshing to have a new mythological entity enter the ring as a heroine. The authors spin a well thought out tale of mystery and supernatural resolution. Starting the second book right away." ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "I love the mermaid and her relationship with her dark master. Symbiosis at its best." ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "All I can say is wow! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Who knew that mermaids and other supernatural creatures actually existed? The story flowed well. Getting to see bits and pieces of Alex's background was good. I highly recommend reading this. I'm ready for the next book in the series now." ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "Having been a fan of the Samantha Moon series I sort of suspected I would enjoy this as well. Boy was I right! I actually laughed out loud several times and the interaction of Alex and her "Dark Master." Thoroughly enjoyable read. If you are a fan of Sam you will enjoy this as well. And the little tie in to the Vampire for Hire series is a nice little treat." ―Amazon reviewer
