The Serpent and the Firefly by Courtney Davis – Review by Kerry Carr

The Serpent and the Firefly by Courtney Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this paranormal fantasy. It had everything in a story I love. It is action packed, with secrets being reveled,magic, shapeshifters and the never ending battle between good and evil, and a added spark of a romance that shouldn’t work but does.

Jade is on the run. Part of the witness protection programme she believes the only worry she has is avoiding the grasp of her abusive ex and trying not to die of boredom in the new dead town she finds herself in but how wrong she is.
When a stranger arrives in her bedroom she worries her ex has found her, however she couldn’t be more wrong.
Baal is the first king of hell. He needs the help of a fairy to help him find a special key. However there is more to Jade than he realises at first. 1st she doesnt know she a fairy and has magical powers, 2nd according to the prophecy she has the ability to save or destroy him. How is he going to cope especially when he realises that the feelings between him and Jade become more than just attraction.
Jade has always been attracted to a bad boy and Baal is no exception but how will she react when she learns the truth about her existence and the part she is supposed to play in Baal’s life.
Can their budding romance overcome prophecy? Can Jade trust Baal or will his forked tongue make him out to be a lier and the snake that he is?With magical beings,Jade’s murderous ex after her and a fight between 4 different Realms do Baal and Jade stand any chance at all?
