He's legendary.
Together, they'll be epic...or a complete train wreck. It could go either way, really...
Psychic and paranormal PI Harper Hall isn't that surprised when her business partner skips town. She never really trusted the jerk anyway.
But if Harper wants to consult for the police on a high-profile case, she'll need a new partner-- preferably one with some supernatural talents of his own.
Noah Riddick, a slayer left jobless when vampires went public and earned human rights, is perfect for the gig. Too bad he's grumpy, anti-social, and completely resistant to the idea of working with her.
Riddick's dark secrets and shady past forced him into exile from human society--an exile he was comfortable with until gorgeous and exasperating Harper waltzed into his life. Now, all too aware of how unlifelike his life has been, he realizes partnering with her might be the best thing that could ever happen to him...even though it might be the worst for her.
Fighting vampires, making immortal enemies, staging daring rescues...it's all in a day's work. But falling in love? Well...that's a little trickier. Even for the Semi-Charmed Harper Hall.
"If you love Charley Davidson, True Blood or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then you will definitely want to read this quirky vampire/paranormal series." --Literati Literature Lovers

About the author

The normal:
Isabel Jordan writes because it's the only profession that allows her to express her natural sarcasm and not be fired. She is a paranormal and contemporary romance author. Isabel lives in the U.S. with her husband, her son, a neurotic Shepherd mix, and a ginormous Great Dane mix named Jerkface. (Don't feel bad for Jerkface. He really is a jerk.)
The weird:
Now that the normal stuff is out of the way, here's some weird-but-true facts that would never come up in polite conversation. Isabel Jordan:
1. Is terrified of butterflies (don't judge...it's a real phobia called lepidopterophobia)
2. Is a lover of all things ironic (hence the butterfly on the original cover of Semi-Charmed)
3. Is obsessed with Supernatural, Game of Thrones, and Dog Whisperer.
4. Hates coffee. Drinks a Diet Mountain Dew every morning.
5. Will argue to the death that Pretty in Pink ended all wrong. (Seriously, she ends up with the guy who was embarrassed to be seen with her and not the nice guy who loved her all along? That would never fly in the world of romance novels.)
6. Would eat Mexican food every day, if given the choice.
7. Reads two books a week in varied genres.
8. Refers to her Kindle as "the precious".
9. Thinks puppy breath is one of the best smells in the world.
10. Is a social media idgit. (Her husband had to explain to her what the point of Twitter was. She's still a little fuzzy on what Instagram and Pinterest do.)
11. Kicks ass at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
12. Stole her tagline idea from her son. Her tagline idea was, "Never wrong, not quite right." She liked her son's idea better.
13. Breaks one vacuum cleaner a year because she ignores standard maintenance procedures (Really, you're supposed to empty the canister every time you vacuum? Does that seem excessive to anyone else?)
14. Is still mad at the WB network for cancelling Angel in 2004.
15. Can't find her way from her bed to her bathroom without her glasses, but refused eye surgery, even when someone else offered to pay. (They lost her at "eye flap". Seriously, look it up. Scary stuff.)

Then there's a few sub-plots. Harper's friend and former supervisor, Mischa, might be falling for a vampire named Hunter. Hunter and some other vampires could be playing in gray areas. Harper has a crush on a police officer, who later in the story tries to date her.
Several typos, but nothing too distracting.
** Spoiler Section **
There's a little bit of a love triangle. Totally unnecessary, but it works as a plot device. I guess it works for most people, but I didn't think the love triangle really belonged in this story. Harper clearly has the hots for Riddick. Riddick feels the same, but he's such a hot mess that he messes things up. Thank goodness Harper is smart and won't let him.
Harper Hall is the main female character,who seemed to charm people imto doing as she wished. She was a seer and often as not saw paranormals about to do something nasty.
Noah Reddick was the future love interest, he was the silent type, doomed as it were, to be a natural fighter who could take on vampires. Vampires could feed om consenting adults, but some went about attacking people without their permission.
And in the plot`s hidden corner, Hunter, a native American turned vampire 500 years ago, who seemed to long for Harper`s brilliant friend, Reddick`s old boss, who had sent out people to kill him all those years ago.
A wonderfully fun paranormal romance with a lot of great world building. I'm curious to know if there will be more about Sentry (the vampire slaying agency no longer allowed to run now that vampires have rights). Harper has a lot of sass and heart, and she made me laugh out loud. I love her never give up attitude, and her family is a hoot. Riddick is the delicious dark and brooding hero. My favorite kind! I really enjoyed Hunter and Mischa too, and they totally need their own book. The love triangle with Lucas was unneeded as Harper and Riddick had enough internal and external conflict going on. If this is the first book in the series, I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next!
The world-building is fantastic but not soooo involved that you're left scratching your head in distraction trying to catch up with the crazy paranormal aspects. Basically Vampires are out and have legal rights, but before they came out into the open, there where slayers and the psychics teamed up with them to help guide them to catching the baddy vamps. Now that the Vamps are legal and all that jazz, the Slayers, pyshchics and watchers are out of their jobs and slightly hated. Anyways that's the gist.
When Harper Hall, which is an awesomely awesome heroine name, a psychic and a struggling paranormal PI's business partner and former Slayer that she was teamed up with back in the old days, takes off on her, she's left to work crappy jobs while trying to keep the lights on for her PI business. After an encounter with a darkly dangerous and sexy guy, followed by a vision that leaves her confronting a vampire and then being saved by the same guy, Harper finds herself in the company of an epic slayer, Riddick. When the police hire her for a job, but will only let her take the job if she has a slayer on the payroll, she ropes Riddick in, and off the two of them go.
Harper is one of those intriguingly awesome fun characters. She's ballsy and amazing, hilarious, and of course charming. With a tenacious spirit and a back bone made of steel, there wasn't anything that I didn't like about her. I could keep reading books from her perspective and never get sick of it, she's just so completely awesome.
Riddick on the other hand, is all dark and damaged. Delicoulsy interesting, and very very frustrating. He needed Harper to come crashing hilariously into his life, knocking all the crappy brick walls that he had built around himself - down. A fantastically written character with a deeply sad past, I adored how he was with Harper. And being able to get his perspective made me fall head over heels for him. I loved him so so much.
Semi-Charmed has all the things that I love in a paranormal romance. Interesting world-building, supernatural creatures, characters that I can root for, action, smexy, love, and a slight mystery. The thing that took Semi-Charmed above and beyond is the humor. I wasn't expecting to laugh that much. It was a delightful surprise. Plus! The secondary characters were pretty delightfully entertaining as well, I can't wait to see if Isabel Jordan will write their books...I really hope she does, this is definielty a world I would love to come back to.
I absoluetly adored this book and can not wait to see what Isabel Jordan comes up with next, she's got me as a reader of hers for life. If you love paranormal romances, funny books or are just looking for your next obsessive read than definitely check out Semi-Charmed, it's pretty awesome. Plus, it's got an HEA!! So no cliff-hanger! Which is always a plus...

Whilst trying to earn a living at being a PI her old slayer partner runs off leaving her with business debts and no physical back up which means police don’t want to work with her. She meets a famous slayer, Noah Riddick, and she tries to get her to work with her on a missing child case.
I loved all the characters in this book. Though there are some dark moments there is a real feel good factor this book. Harper comes from a large Italian family who all get together once a week in the family restaurant. They are stereotypical Italian family, banter, insults and unconditional love. Harper’s mother is a force to be reckoned with as is her best friend Mischa, someone who worked at Sentry as a watcher (the very smart researchers). Then you add in the not so bad vampire, the shifter cop and the odd low life bad guy and you get a fabulous melee of interesting interactions and plot line.
I will definitely be reading the next book in the series.

A plot about the way a dissolved agency has left it's members floundering a little. An agency that was charged with taking out vampires that have gone on a killing spree. It has left some members dealing with psychosis as they come to terms with the fact that not all vampires are bad (okay a lot are), that not all slayers are cold blooded killing machines and that the agency lied to them. The plot revolves around two couples and their interaction not only with each other but also rogue vampires who might have become fixated on them. Will they work out their problems? Will they survive?

It popped up as a 'freebie' and loving the write up of it quickly downloaded it.
I was a big Buffy fan, even though I'm an older 'geek' lol, so the premise of Vamps being out and an undercover organisation being disbanded leaving Slayers and Seers without jobs got me straight away.
Harper is sassy, sarcastic, loving Seer who has nasty premonitions who's not afraid to stand up to nasty Vamps on her own.
Riddick, dark a deadly Slayer who's never felt love and doesn't really 'do' talking, let alone show how he feels.
Mischa, Harper's ex boss now her BF, who scares the snot out of people.
Hunter, a Native Indian warrior Vamp from when the Indians owned the land and friend of Harper, and a Vamp Mischa tried to put down in her other life.
Throw in psycho kidnapping Vamps, a dog rescue and a big Italian family and you get a brilliant book.

If you like Jeaniene Frost and Ilona Andrews, you will absolutely love these books. Thank you so much Ms Jordan for creating a new world and giving me new people to care about.

If you like a bit of paranormal and a good romance, look no further, give it a go.
