A Brush of Darkness - by Allison Pang (Paperback)

About the Book

Connected to a series of OtherWorld kidnappings, 26-year-old Abby Sinclair teams up with a sexy incubus to keep the missing OtherFolk--and herself--from vanishing forever. Original.

Book Synopsis

Dive into A Brush of Darkness, the first book in the Abby Sinclair trilogy.

The man of her dreams might be the cause of her nightmares.

Six months ago, Abby Sinclair was struggling to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Now, she has an enchanted iPod, a miniature unicorn living in her underwear drawer, and a magical marketplace to manage. But despite her growing knowledge of the OtherWorld, Abby isn't at all prepared for Brystion, the dark, mysterious, and sexy-as- sin incubus searching for his sister, convinced Abby has the key to the succubus's whereabouts. Abby has enough problems without having this seductive shape-shifter literally invade her dreams to get information. But when her Faery boss and some of her friends vanish, as well, Abby and Brystion must form an uneasy alliance.

As she is sucked deeper and deeper into this perilous world of faeries, angels, and daemons, Abby realizes her life is in as much danger as her heart--and there's no one she can trust to save her.

Review Quotes

"Weird, wild, and ultimately wonderful, A BRUSH OF DARKNESS is a joy from start to finish, with a completely unique mythology that's as fun to figure out as it is to read. I can't wait to see what happens next--and I want my own enchanted iPod!" - Seanan McGuire, Award-winning author of the October Daye series

"Fun and utterly vibrant, A BRUSH OF DARKNESS takes off running from the first page and keeps you hooked. I loved independent-but-just-a-little-broken Abby, the sexy incubus love interest, and, of course, the unicorn! Anyone looking for wit, verve, and a fascinatingly complex world in their urban fantasy can stop right here! Allison Pang has what you need." -Jill Myles, author of "Gentlemen Prefer Succubi "and "Succubi Like It Hot
"

"Pang's at her best in the truly laugh-out-loud humor that, thankfully, is found throughout what is clearly the first in a series. Fans of Kim Harrison and Jaye Wells will relish a new author to follow."
