  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;Right now, I'm a redhead. I've been blonde and brunette as the situation requires, though an unscheduled color change usually means relocating in the middle of the night. So far, I'm doing well here. Nobody knows what I'm running from. And I'd like to keep it that way&#8230;&lt;/i&gt;

Eighteen months ago, Corine Solomon crossed the border to Mexico City, fleeing her past, her lover, and her &quot;gift.&quot; Corine, a handler, can touch something and know its history&amp;mdash;and sometimes, its future. Using her ability, she can find the missing&amp;mdash;and that&#8217;s why people never stop trying to find her. People like her ex, Chance&#8230;

Chance, whose uncanny luck has led him to her doorstep, needs her help. Someone dear to them both has gone missing in Laredo, Texas, and the only hope of finding her is through Corine's gift. But their search may prove dangerous as the trail leads them into a strange dark world of demons and sorcerers, ghosts and witchcraft, zombies&amp;mdash;and black magic&#8230;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this book.  It starts off a little dreary, and I was worried that we were going to be saddled with a whiny, woe-is-me protagonist at first.  But she's actually pretty sassy, and I laughed out loud a few times at her turns of phrase.  There is some sexual tension with an ex - another one of t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66306218">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ann Aguirre takes her first jaunt into urban fantasy with <em>Blue Diablo</em>, the opening book of the Corine Solomon series. Our heroine Corine is a &quot;handler&quot;, able to sense the history surrounding objects she holds--but not without a price, as her gift came to her from the sacrifice of her mothe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51780465">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Corine Solomon changes her address as often as she changes her hair color – a side effect of having the ‘gift’ of being able to touch an object and know what happened to the last person who used it. Many people are fascinated with her gift, for good or bad, keeping her continually on the run b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50523899">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I absolutely adore Ann Aguirre’s science fiction books. Grimspace and Wanderlust are two of the most refreshingly creative SF books I’ve read in a long time. So I was very excited to receive an ARC of Blue Diablo. The genre is completely different–urban fantasy as opposed to science fiction–...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44476875">more...</a>]]></body>

Corine is an everyday average person, just like you and me. She is trying to stay under the radar because her ability...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35645506">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of the biggest complaints I have with urban fantasy as a whole is that it tends to lean very far into the paranormal and make realism second place. Not so with Ann Aguirre's latest offering, Blue Diablo, which, put simply, is To Cast a Deadly Spell meets Commando.<br/><br/>Corine Solomon is a ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25843337">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As my daughter has mentioned in one of her reviews, I'm not a big fantasy reader. But Ann Aguirre writes some great science fiction, so I picked this one up.  I'm glad I did.
