Under The Final Moon (Underworld Detection Agency Book 6) Kindle Edition
A father-daughter reunion could spell the end of the world for a paranormal investigator whose dad is Satan in this wildly funny urban fantasy adventure.
Sophie Lawson may be a mere human with no special abilities except a strong immunity to magic. But the havoc she’s wreaked on the supernaturals who come up against the Underworld Detection Agency have earned her plenty of enemies. Still, a girl can’t freak out every time a horribly barbecued corpse is found with her business card in its hand. Or see a sudden glut of earthquakes, wildfires and three-headed dogs as just another day in California.
But Alex Grace, her favorite fallen angel, is concerned—or saying he is to see more of her. Getting Sophie to see all the signs of the Apocalypse is an interesting way to heat things up. Or maybe what’s making everyone hot under the collar is the fact that all Hell is about to break loose . . .

Sophie is the Vessel of Souls. Everyone wants the vessel, which is somehow inside her. She has a myriad of friends, including a vampire, a fallen angel, and the guardian, who was sent to guard and protect the vessel of souls.
Sophie also works for the Underworld Detection Agency which is an organization that handles pretty much all things supernatural, from providing insurance coverage for inhabitants of the underworld to investigating a vampire killing. Although Sophie is a human, she is also immune to all magic and underworld super powers. She has the capability to see through the veil that keeps other humans from noticing things like 3′ tall trolls, or rotting zombies.
She also manages to get herself into trouble just about every time she steps out the door, which makes for some comical situations. This time, she is investigating signs of the apocalypse. Oh…. and did I mention her father is Satan? She has dreamed her whole life that her father would come back for her, but she never dreamed he’d be Satan, and now she wants nothing to do with him. But how do you hide from Satan?
Alex (the fallen angel) and Will (the guardian) are both interested in Sophie, and of course they are both hot, so she can’t seem to decide between the two of them, and there is a lot of chest puffing and arm flexing when both are in the room. They seem to be more interested in besting each other than actually protecting and taking care of Sophie. I’ve been rooting for Will…. mostly because he has a sexy British accent. Otherwise, I could take ‘em or leave ‘em. Despite how much Sophie finds them both sexy, I find them both a little immature and bland.
Sophie is definitely good at heart, and actively wants to defeat Satan, but she is no superhero, she doesn’t even know simple self-defense moves. Even though her heart is in the right place throughout the entire series, it’s pretty amazing how she’s managed to survive. I guess good always triumphs over evil?
I found it interesting that when her dad shows up, Alex, who says he loves her, and Will, her guardian, are nowhere close by. Wasn’t this their job? To take care of and protect Sophie? Or maybe, just maybe, she was able to take care of herself all along.
There were a lot of spelling errors in this book that should have been caught by an editor or even spell check. It was kind of distracting, especially when the same word is misspelled more than once.
The covers of these books are kind of misleading, since Sophie looks and acts nothing like the woman on the cover. I believe that the image on the cover is to show how Sophie wants to see herself, and how she wishes herself to be. Which is why it’s kind of funny. Sophie is definitely not the woman on this cover, no matter how much she wants to be.
Despite the coming apocalypse, the series is campy and entertaining. Sophie’s ability to mess things up every time she tries to fix or solve something can be annoying, but also pretty comical.
I did enjoy the series. It’s a fun, easy read, and you’ll root for Sophie, even if she doesn’t always root for herself.
