Pack of Lies is the second book in the Paranormal Scene Investigations by Laura Anne-Gilman. It is just as good as the first one. Maybe a little better because the very first paragraph grabs you.

There are a lot of reasons I really liked this book. It moves fast, there is plenty of drama and the potential for a soul mate. Not sure; it reads like that, but no one is accepting it as such.

There is also a unicorn. I like unicorns (almost as much as I like dragons and there are dragons in this too!) and you don’t see unicorns too often in urban fantasy. They appear more frequently in traditional fantasy, but I don’t think they are terribly common there, either.

The sister is another reason. She is expertly manipulated and maybe she sees it, maybe she doesn’t. In any case, she created a situation that caused trouble for a lot of people, and is still convinced she is right. I am not sure why. Her reasons aren’t really explained all that well.

The bad guys though – they have no magic and they are ruthless. They have a lot of potential and I think they will appear in future books.

The ending was very sad. It fit, but it was just so sad. I kinda feel sorry for them.
