Rating: 5⭐️
Just outstanding. According to Harris, the author had originally intended Brutal Justice to become the finale for the series but this amazing character’s journey has become so complex and layered that one last novel was needed.
Harris with her goal of making this the penultimate narrative, fills this incredible story with so many shocking moments, absolutely stunning twists to the plot that makes sense once you see it but still makes the reader gasp in appreciation and shock that we didn’t see it coming.
This storyline brings Evie back to the trauma that set her on the path she’s taken in life, back to her kidnapping and torture.
Now she’s supported by Robbie, her fiancée and King of Orcs, her staff (and friends) through this journey.
It’s several investigations, and includes one of the most heinous criminals created, Jude Jingo.
The relationship between Robbie and Evie continues to be a very strong one, building on acknowledgement of their roles as well as their commitment towards each other. I love their dynamic.
Other crossover characters play important roles here as well, Amber and Bastion for example.
There’s thrilling, heartbreaking moments, scary battles, and shocking twists. None of which I’ll spoil. I hope no one else will either.
This and the characters are my favorites in this universe. I’ll be so sad when it’s over. But I still have one more novel to go.
What a thrilling read this is! Five stars!

Brutal Justice: A Supernatural Crime Thriller (The Other Detective Series Book 4)
Blurb
Death has changed bodies… and justice is about to get personal.
A dead dryad on my medical examiner’s lawn wasn’t how this week was supposed to start. But when I discover the victim was merely the latest body worn by the Other realm’s most notorious criminal, I realise this isn’t just murder.
It’s a possession.
Jude Jingo doesn’t kill the usual way. He steals lives from the inside out, jumping from body to body and leaving corpses in his wake. And now he’s wearing a face I recognise.
A face that’s getting dangerously close to someone I care about.
Officially, I’ve been ordered to close the case. Unofficially? I’m digging deeper. Because when a vampyr tries to gut me in the street and whispers about “orders”, I know this goes far beyond one dead dryad. Someone powerful wants this buried.
But I don’t bury murder.
With my rookie partner covering my back, my bonded bird raising hell, and an ogre king who takes threats against me very personally, I’m stepping off the books to hunt a body-stealing killer hiding in plain sight.
If I’m wrong, I’ll destroy an innocent man.
If I’m right, I’ll have to stop a monster wearing borrowed skin… without killing the man trapped inside.
No pressure.
Immerse yourself in The Other Detective Series – perfect for fans of supernatural crime, featuring a fierce heroine, political intrigue, brutal magic, and a slow-burn romance.
