The Secret Humankind (The Discoveries of Julia Xero Book 1) by Gloria Oliver – Review by Melissa Saxton

The Secret Humankind: An Urban Fantasy Thriller by Gloria Oliver
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Julia has always been a loner, as an orphan and bounced around and always looked over her only friend was her case manager that dies suddenly of a brain aneurysm. Julia is very much alone, scraping a meager existence at a dead end job.
Until something new opens… a job with Crime scene clean up on night shift. The benefits are amazing and pay even better so she can’t resist applying. She is shocked when she’s called for interview, and even further when she’s offered.
She’s about to find out this job is so much more than that and there’s another whole existence of other beings out there. Her attention to detail might just save the life of humans as a creepy assasin is on the loose, but can she move past and accept the betrayal she feels from her implant and “slavery to another race” and the natural instinct to hide and not be shining in the spotlight of something she’s absolutely a natural for? Only time will tell.
The characters are well built. You want to reach in and slap Julia for her negative Nancy woe is me attitude but she’s earned it with how life has treated her. I am definitely interested in more that this author has to offer as this book hooked me and I couldn’t put it down once Julia found out what she was actually doing.
