    SPECTR: Reaper of Souls – Jordan L. Hawk

    When an incubus murders the powerful ally of an anti-paranormal senator, it’s up to hotshot Federal exorcist John Starkweather to catch the demon before it can kill again. Fortunately, he has backup, in the form of his boyfriend Caleb, a telekinetic possessed by the vampire spirit Gray.

    As the political pressure mounts and bodies pile up, John discovers an old enemy protecting the incubus: the Fist of God, a group that believes all paranormals are evil. But why would the Fist work with a demon? And why would they let it kill one of their own allies?

    John and Caleb need to find out fast. Because the incubus lurks at the intersection of love and longing, and it’s willing to turn their deepest desires against them.

    For Reaper of Souls, our SPECTR agents are dealing with an incubus and deepest darkest desires is the theme for this installment.

    Caleb got a snazzy new leather coat which didn’t impress Tiffany.

    “They aren’t going to give out a warrant against a senator on the say-so of a possessed hippie,” Tiffany replied. “Or are you a goth now, with the coat and boots? Way to live the vampire stereotype.”

    “Tiffany,” John said, a warning edge in his voice. “Can we keep the personal insults out of it, please?”

    “Fine.” She settled back in her seat, arms crossed over her chest. “But if he starts writing morbid poetry and hanging out in graveyards, I’m staking his ass.”

    But it certainly got John’s blood running, John who has a dark secret desire (which doesn’t take much to figure out given his reactions). He’s keeping it from everyone including Caleb. I wonder how Caleb and Gray would react if they know. I think all readers saw it coming but I can’t wait for the moment he drops the bombshell.

    Finding out who the possessed human was was a bit blah because there wasn’t much action on this part but the climax took it to the max.

    Powers were amped up as Gray battles the incubus on top of a lighthouse.

    The scenes where Caleb vamps out and Gray comes out to play were major hellyeah! moments. I say unleash the drakul!
