Welcome to my tour stop for Descendants of the Rose by Juliette Harper! This is the first book in the Selby Jensen Paranormal Mysteries series and the tour runs July 20-31. Check out the tour page for more information.
About the Book:
Selby Jensen’s business card reads “Private Investigator,” but to say the least, that downplays her real occupation. Let’s hear it in her own words:
“You want to know what I do for a living? I rip souls out. Cut heads off. Put silver bullets where silver bullets need putting. You think there aren't any monsters? . . . I have some disturbing news for you. You might want to sit down. Monsters walk among us. I'm looking for one in particular. In the meantime? I'm keeping the rest of them from eating people like you.”
In this debut novel of her new paranormal mystery series, Juliette Harper, author of The Lockwood Legacy books and The Study Club Mysteries creates a cast of characters, most of whom have one thing in common; they don’t have a pulse. The dead are doing just fine by Selby, who is determined never to lose someone she loves again, but then a force of love more powerful than her grief changes that plan. Join Selby Jensen as she and her team track down a shadowy figure tied to a murder at a girls’ school. What none of them realize, however, is that in solving this case, they will enter a longer battle against a larger evil.

REVIEW
REVIEW
Selby is a paranormal detective, who prefers friends from the dead - Helen, a ghost and Johnny, a vampire. There is a murder at girls' school and Selby is in the case. As Selby is in deep, it seems like more than just one murder. And the creature that is in the school is more powerful to be contained. Between all this, Selby is also searching for her husband, Dex's murderer.
Selby is an interesting character. She can be snarky and kind at the same time. She can laugh and be depressed all at once. I loved Selby so much that she is one of my favorite characters now. Even her undead friends are made so lovable. The enemies are badder than bad. For a story so well made, there is not a single sign in this book that will make you feel bored or even remotely dramatic.
Juliette Harper sure knows how to create a great plot. The thrilling debut will keep you rooted to your book and make you wanting for more.
Definitely recommended!
