Agent of Hel, book 1: Dark CurrentsJacqueline Carey2012

The Midwestern resort town of Pemkowet boasts a diverse population : eccentric locals, wealthy summer people, and tourist by the busload - not to mention fairies, sprites, vampires, naiads, ogres and a whole host of eldritch folk, presided over by Hel, a reclusive Norse goddess.

To Daisy Johanssen, fathered by an incubus and raised by a single mother, it's home. And as Hel's enforcer and the designated liasion to the Pemkowet Police Department, it's up to her to ensure relations between the mundane and eldritch run smoothly.

But when a young man from a nearby college drowns -and signs point to eldritch involvement- the town's booming paranormal tourism trade is at stake. Teamed up with her childhood crush, Officer Cody Fairfax, a sexy werewolf on the down-low, Daisy must solve the crime - and keep a tight rein on the darker side of her nature. For if she's ever tempted to invoke her demonic birthright, it could accidentally unleash nothing less than Armageddon.
