A Midsummer Night's Scream by H.P. Mallory
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Fairy and law enforcement agent, Dulcie O'Neil, finds her life is pretty boring at the moment. Her hunky boyfriend and boss, Knight Vander, is busy setting up the new world order in the Netherworld and hasn’t been around much. Consequently, Dulcie is put in charge of Headquarters for the ANC (Association for Netherworld Creatures). Unfortunately for her, she doesn’t have a whole lot to keep her occupied…
Well, that is, until Jax Rochefort storms into Headquarters and her life. Jax, who’s a member of one of the most infamous illegal potions rings, ups and turns himself in with little to no explanation. Dulcie takes it upon herself to solve the riddle of Jax Rochefort, all the while trying to dodge his obvious advances.
Dulcie learns that the new Netherworld government is threatened by the potions cartels, who wish to see their own in power. Things heat up when Jax kidnaps Dulcie, all the while claiming to be following orders for his mysterious boss.
After discovering that everyone she cares about is directly in the line of fire, Dulcie must do everything in her power to ensure their safety as well as the security of the new Netherworld government.

My Thoughts:
This is book 7 of the Dulcie O'Neil series. If you have been reading this series, then you know that book 6 came out in 2012 and this one finally arrived in 2015. Three long years before we finally to get know what else is happening in Dulcie's world.Knight is in the Netherworld for business while Dulcie is holding down the fort at the ANC headquarters. She is bored until Knight shows up with a prisoner. Jax has turned himself in, supposedly wanting to get out of a life of crime. Of course, things are not as they seem and Dulcie is in trouble.
I really like this series so I am glad the author brought it back. Hopefully, we don't have to wait 3 more years for the next one. This one left me hanging, wondering what happens next. Gotta love those cliffhangers!
