Natural Evil by Thea Harrison

Thea Harrison has done it again with Natural Evil. You meet the heroine Claudia first, previous special ops soldier for the US Army. I loved Claudia, she was spunky and just awesome even though she was an older woman, she still kicked ass. The Tarot cards also got into her possession which if you read the first novella, True Colors you'd understand how important those cards are. Louis is the huge dog that was beaten, and left for dead on the side of the road. Claudia finds him, and instead of putting him out of his misery, she takes him to a vet. Deciding to stay with him, she has suspicion that he is a Wyr and she finds this true. So now, it's not only animal cruelty but attempted murder. Claudia's emotions are beautiful, she goes through so much reliving some of her demons to letting herself fall in love. The book doesn't feel rushed, you sit there and collect so much information that you have to file it away. You don't have to read True Colors in order to understand this, but it helps when talking about the Tarot cards and the gods of the Wyrs. We also meet the Bradshaw's who own the town that Claudia rolled into. Things get out of hand as she stepped into a tangled web of lies, deceit, and danger. Claudia gives the a woman's wrath an interesting look. She shows that she can still kick ass even if she is a bit older. I love this book, its hard to put down these books. I love reading her work she has a way to draw you into her works and not let go till the end leaving you craving for more.
