A dark magic murder. A high school full of suspects. Can a paranormal detective catch the killer before school is out of session forever?

Half-demon H.C. Logan is used to living on the fringes of society. Determined to rise above her dark origins, she works as a paranormal detective hunting down the monsters whose blood courses through her own veins. When the arcane key embedded in her skin sends her a gruesome vision of a teen’s murder, she follows the twisted magic to the victim’s sleepy Montana hometown.

Undercover at the local high school, H.C. picks her way through a web of jealousies in search of any student with motive enough to summon a demon and unleash it on the popular girl. When she befriends a bullied outcast, the demon’s next violent attack becomes personal. As the monster grows stronger, H.C. must unmask the teen who summoned it before the demon breaks its chains and soaks the town in blood.

Shadow Summoner is the first book in the fiendish Choronzon Chronicles urban fantasy series. If you like edgy detectives, demonic encounters, and hair-raising suspense, then you’ll love Tess Adair’s paranormal adventure.

Girls are in danger at a small high school and they need help. Logan is sent in as a grief counselor and begins to question what has happened. She knows it is a magical being, but looks for a deeper understanding of what she faces. Judith Li, a high school student helps distract the monster with a magic blast and attaches herself to the hunt. Judith helps answer important question, but refuses to step out of the danger area. Can the stop the creature before it turns on the self-trained magician?
This is a book with intense fight scenes and insight into the characters introduced in the story. It has an easy flow to the plot that I enjoyed.

Henrietta C. Logan or HC as she prefers to be called, is sent on a mission. She must discover who the Summoner of a demon is who has been unleashed at a high school in Montana.

Logan's employer/mentor, Mr. Knatt, a friend of her father, Charles Logan, has been training her since she was just a small girl. Now, he is deadly, coldly British and seriously in charge of her life.

The greatest part of this book is that the characters, both young adults and grown, are totally relatable. Tess Adair handles sensitive subjects like childhood neglect, gender fluidity and sexual assault in a straight forward manner while entwining them in an exciting, scary and ultimately triumphant plot.

Shadow Summoner is the first book in the series and promises to much more magic to be revealed in the following books. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new and unique kickass female hero!
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2023
Verified Purchase
Pleasantly surprised to find this author has created a very cool strong female protagonist, Logan, who is totally accepting of diverse personalities, including asking others what pronouns they prefer, and consistently using "they" as the singular pronoun if she doesn't know someone's preference. This may be a very small part of the book but it is amazing to see it in such a normalizing manner. Without using too many spoilers, I will say that Logan is chasing a monster who has killed a teenager in a small town... Logan herself has some unusual qualities of the superhero nature, but these are not dependable enough to prevent some very tense moments. Secondary characters could be more developed, but I guess that is what a continuing series is for. I very much enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the second.

An interesting start to a new series. I enjoyed it enough to buy the second in the series. A few minor editing errors, and, as someone else mentioned, the switch from first to third person caused a moment of confusion, but the characters and context for Logan's ongoing story are compelling.

Well written and suspenseful. The heroine herself is unsure of her origins but knows she is part-demon with the ability to use magic to protect others. It is a glimpse into a fascinating new world.

There is not much I didn't like about the story in this book. The writing is tight and the characters are memorable. It would be too easy to give spoilers but I don't wish to ruin one little bit of this delicious world building urban fantasy. The story took me to another place.

The author switches from first person to third person about halfway through. Editing is terrible.

The story plot is good. Characters come to life easily.
