Description
Free from her troubled past, Agent Kirsten Wren finds happiness mentoring Evan, a boy with similar talents with whom she soon forms a strong bond. Her efforts to help Dorian settle his past become complicated when a team of corporate “issue resolution consultants” continue their mission to kill a man in the afterlife.
Kirsten gets involved when their postmortem grudge match spills into the realm of the living. At the scene of a surgical explosion that gutted only one floor of a residential tower, she discovers a strange arcane circle drawn in silver. There, she senses energy darker than any wraith she has yet encountered; a force that questions everything she believes about the world.
Vikram Medhi, the hacker targeted by Lyris Corporation for elimination, begs her to protect him from undead out to destroy him. With no way to track these spirits, she seeks help from an enigmatic billionaire who offers her more than a simple translation of ancient Sumerian pictographs.
Chasing down a dangerous psionic criminal in the oldest lawless zone in the city, trying to protect a man on a corporate death list, and trying to keep both of them from hurting the one person in the world she loves, Kirsten must reach deep within herself to accept her destiny.

I received this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
It took me a couple of days to read both books in this series because there was a lot of detail and information and I really had to pay attention rather than fly through it. Although I love watching sci-fi movies, I don't read a lot of it. I do enjoy it, but there usually isn't a lot that catches my attention. I decided to try this series since the second book was available on Netgalley.
Matt Cox is a very good writer and has created a very interesting and exciting future where cops are segregated into divisions based on their abilities. Kirsten is part of Division Zero, where psionics use their abilities to battle supernatural foes. I liked the first book and the introduction to Kirsten and to the secondary characters.
There's no romance (yet) in this series, although Kirsten is lonely and always looking for companionship. Constantly shunned by civilians as well as other cops who fear psionics, Kirsten is looking for love and happiness, but it's not really a focal point of the series. I love her partner, Dorian, and their relationship. I also like how Evan has come into her life.
Even though the plot was a little predictable to me, the writing was still good enough to make it enjoyable. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the ending. Not the overall book ending, that was fine. The ending as in, literally the last page. One of the characters makes a statement, my Nook says I am on page 359 of 379, and I turn the page and....excerpt for another book called Caller 107. Huh, flip back, flip forward....scratches head. Is the book over? Did I get a bad ARC from Netgalley? It just seemed very abrupt.
Doesn't matter really. I will buy and read the next book when it comes out because the story is great. I also bought another book of Matthew Cox's and will give that a try as well.
