The Olympians come to Anderson with information on a descendant on Anubis who is killing people with his jackals. The Liberi want the killings to stop, but the Olympians know more than they are letting on about this descendant and his motives.
Jenna Black's works are always stellar. She has complex but strong female protagonists and a crisp writing style. Like her other protagonists, Nikki has gone through a lot and continues to evolve and refocus her perception throughout the novel, but she never comes off as whiny or unrealistic. This is a series in the early stages, as DEADLY DESCENDANT is only the second novel in it, so you should hop on board now to watch how great it's going to get!
Book Summary
An ancient evil is unleashed in the modern world— unless one fearless P.I. can hunt it down. . . . Nikki Glass, Immortal Huntress, returns in this new novel in the acclaimed series by Jenna Black.
As a living descendant of Artemis the Huntress, private investigator Nikki Glass knows how to track someone down. But when an Oracle shows up, warning the Descendants about wild dog attacks in Washington, D.C., Nikki is afraid it might be a trap.
The Olympians believe the “dogs” are really jackals, controlled by a blood- crazed descendant of the Egyptian death-god Anubis. Whatever. . . . If Nikki hopes to muzzle Dogboy, she’s got to catch him in the act. But when she stakes out a local cemetery, she ends up face-to-snout with a snarling pack of shadow-jackals whose bite is worse than their bark. These hellhounds are deadly—even for an immortal like Nikki. “Dog” spelled backward may be “god,” but that won’t stop Nikki from teaching these old gods some new tricks. Like playing dead.
