Lorelei Clay is desperate to stay safe behind her castle walls.
She’s also desperate for money.
When a mage assassin asks for help with a delicate matter involving a ruthless vampire mobster, Lorelei agrees—for a price. Part of the deal is that Kane Sullivan can’t know. Yes, that Kane. Prince of hell. Demon to end all demons. Stubborn, nosy, and ridiculously sexy.
If only the demon weren’t so curious about her.
Lorelei has spent her life moving, hiding, laying low, and avoiding relationships of any kind.
In Fairhaven, that’s all about to change.
Find out how in Dead Last, the third book in the six-book Crossroads Queen urban fantasy series that features a strong female protagonist, a slow-burn romance, monster takedowns, and Scrabble-playing vampires.
Dead Last is book three in the Crossroads Queen series by Annabel Chase.
We finally learn who or what Lorelei is and in doing so her life blows up. She’s now on the raider of a power corporation, has made enemies and Kane pulls away.
No matter how hard Lorelei try’s to stay hidden away from the world in her Castle, something or someone keeps asking for help and she feels a need to help.
I’m very frustrated with the romance or lack of one with Lorelei and Kane. I feel like progression should have been made, but its stalled.
A lot of different things happen in this novel. The mystery is engaging. We learn a lot, but also have more questions. The world is expanding, yet you still wonder. It’s a fast-paced mystery and we do end on a semi cliffhanger.
Dead Last was another delightful and entertaining paranormal mystery read. Even with its hang ups something keeps me coming back for more and wanting to know what’s next.
Rated: 3.5 Stars

Bummer the romance stalled out, but glad the over all story was solid. I like that there is a good mystery to it as well.
Yes the mysteries for the sereis are good. I’m unsure on the romance. Been waiting on the next installment to see what develops.
