Nothing ever happens in Texarkana. At least, that's what army veteran Isis Black thinks about her small Texas town. After her tour of duty with the Eighty-Second Airborne, her homecoming has been marked by loneliness, isolation, and complete boredom. Her only friend in town is Bob, a homeless veteran who's more than a little paranoid. Then, something astounding happens, and Texarkana gets a whole lot more interesting. Death herself has come to town, and she's searching for an intern! Isis accidentally killed the previous intern several months earlier, and now she's been marked to take over the job. Assigned to aid her in her new positions are Constantine, an ancient cat, and Bartholomew, a ten-year-old genius. Isis gives the entire offer a resounding no, but Death has already given her the power to see the truth about her surroundings-and what Isis discovers is disturbing. Someone is hunting down the homeless in Texarkana and stealing their souls. When poor, paranoid Bob becomes the latest victim, Isis is enraged. There are sinister happenings afoot in town, and Isis will take the fight to the Devil himself in order to protect those she cares about.

“I might need to tell people I was too lazy to learn a new personality.”
Isis Black lives in small town Texarkana. She doesn't usually stick around places long but for some reason she likes it here. She has a job as a waitress that doesn't pay all that well but she is happy and has what she needs.
Until Death pays her a visit. It seems Isis unknowingly made a huge mistake and Death has come to correct it, by offering her a job as an intern.
When people start to go missing, including Isis' friend, it's time for her to get it together and work with Death and the Crew. Can they figure out what is going on and bring peace back to their small town, or will people keep disappearing? The bigger question though is why are they being taken....
OK why have I not heard of this author before!!?? This is one of the main reasons I LOVE book tours. I always seem to find new-to-me authors that I end up really enjoying. This is another to add to the ever growing list...
This is an Urban Fantasy with angels, talking cats, ghosts, witches and all things supernatural. Throw in some sarcasm and seriously great humor and it's a win-win for me.
Sometimes books just find me at the right time, when I really need them, and this is one. Now I need to go and snag the other 4 books in this series
