Blog Tour: Cassie Scot: Paranormal Detective


New Adult / Paranormal Romance/ Mystery
Date Published: 5/15/2013

Synopsis: Cassie Scot is the ungifted daughter of powerful sorcerers, born between worlds but belonging to neither. At 21, all she wants is to find a place for herself, but earning a living as a private investigator in the shadow of her family’s reputation isn’t easy. When she is pulled into a paranormal investigation, and tempted by a powerful and handsome sorcerer, she will have to decide where she truly belongs.

My Review:
Let me start out by saying that this is a page turner. It will keep you flipping pages late into the night. The anticipation and surprises keep the reader on their toes. 

I love that this takes place in the New Adult Genre, Mystery Genre, and Paranormal Genre. I mean what more could you ask for? 

Cassie is a GREAT heroine. She is someone readers will automatically find themselves getting behind and rooting for. She is multi-dimensional and believable as a both a character and a person. 

I think the relationships in this story were all equally endeering. Whether it be me wondering what was going to happen between Cassie and her family or how her having Evan re-enter her life would throw a wrench in her current relationship. Everything just seemed to flow.

Great start to a new series.

From Publisher’s Weekly:

“In this entertaining series opener, Amsden (The Immortality Virus) introduces readers to the eponymous Cassie, a decidedly mundane member of a magical family. …Readers will enjoy Cassie’s fish-out-of-water struggles as she fights magical threats with little more than experience and bravado.” 


Christine Amsden has been writing science fiction and fantasy for as long as she can remember. She loves to write and it is her dream that others will be inspired by this love and by her stories. Speculative fiction is fun, magical, and imaginative but great speculative fiction is about real people defining themselves through extraordinary situations. Christine writes primarily about people and it is in this way that she strives to make science fiction and fantasy meaningful for everyone.
At the age of 16, Christine was diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease, a condition that effects the retina and causes a loss of central vision. She is now legally blind, but has not let this slow her down or get in the way of her dreams.
When she's not writing, Christine teaches workshops on writing, usually at Savvy Authors. She also offers professional editing services. She maintains a book review blog on her website with occasional writing tips thrown in for the fun of it.
Christine lives in the Kansas City area with her husband and two children.
