The Cursed: The League of the Black Swan by Alyssa Day

The Cursed: The League of the Black Swan by Alyssa Day

Luke Oliver is a detective in the Borderlands.  He tries to keep himself to himself but everyone is always after him for help.  Sexy bike messenger Rio keeps popping up in his life and he’s having difficulty keeping his distance.  Each of them has secrets, some known, some unknown, and the kidnapping of a human girl throws them together to help track down the bad guys.

I really liked the setting of the story.  The Borderlands are an extra dimensional area entered through Highline Park in New York City.  The NYC personality mixed with the fantasy elements really works well.  Rio and Luke have great chemistry and there is a lot of humor mixed in with the sensual bits and action.  Fans of romance and urban fantasy will find something to like here.
