The Tigress: The Punishers: Book One Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 11 ratings

Paranormal Detective Ellie Taggart, a rakshasa capable of assuming the shape of a tigress, has always worked alone, searching for those responsible for her mother’s murder. When an investigation results in the death of a close friend and vampire, she’s forced to partner with handsome and mysterious peredhil, Steve Cassidy.
Like her, the half-human, half-elf uses his special talents to fight evil wherever it exists. Rogue vampires, shapeshifters, zombies, practitioners of black magic, poltergeists, ghosts—none of them can beat him. That is until someone or something no longer plays by the rules. There’s a new villain in New Orleans, one who threatens both the humans and non-humans who make the city home.
Is the enemy Draug, the wizard who murdered Ellie’s mother centuries ago? Is it someone from Steve’s shrouded past intent on revenge? Or are they facing a new enemy with an agenda all his or her own? As the tigress and her partner search for answers, trying to prevent the bodies from piling up, they have to manage conflicting emotions and desires that threaten to overwhelm them. Can two such different creatures of the light join forces to defeat the darkness, or will the powers of evil triumph?

    This was an interesting story and very enjoyable. I look forward to the next one. The tigress and Steve both have interesting backstories and I would like to see what happens with them.

    Mama was an interesting character but was hard to read which I know was on purpose.

    The only other items was that it ended rather abruptly Immediately after a fight and could’ve used a few more chapters.

    Thanks goes to the author for giving me a chance to read and review The Tigress by Susanne Matthews, a paranormal thriller. My opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way.

    The Tigress is a fast-paced, action-packed novel that grabbed me and didn't let go until the end. The writing is crisp, the dialogue is authentic, and the plot is outstanding.

    The characters are compelling, and I became vested in them from the beginning. There are a lot of characters in this book, so at times, I needed to slow down and really read closely so I didn't miss something.

    Although the romantic element is not strong, it's nonetheless, fulfilling. The hero and heroine had to depend on each other during life-threatening situations, so they grew close very fast, but still in a believable manner.

    Ms. Matthews is a master at writing suspense-filled thrillers that have me gripping the edge of my seat, waiting to find out what will happen next. She is very much a multi-talented author, whether it's a sweet romance, romantic suspense, or a thriller, she pulls me into her stories.

    It you enjoy novels with plenty of nail-biting action, and don't mind a bit of blood and gore, then you will love The Tigress as much as I did. I look forward to reading the next book in this remarkable series. Happy reading!

    When I picked up this book I expected one of the many clinch paranormal romances, but I'm delighted to say I was wrong. S. Matthews weaves a great and original story in which she created her own breed of superheroes. Justice League, beware! Ellie and Steve make a hell of a team by fighting with and against all the creatures one could imagine. In this book, New Orleans is transformed in a society of humans, vampires, shapeshifters, demons, ghosts, and other fascinating creatures that go bump in the night. The plot is solid, the characters awesome, and I have a feeling this is definitely not the last time we'll hear of Descry. I can't wait for the next Punishers novel!

    Intense, enjoyable read. If you like thrills, chills, magic and gore The Tigress has all that and more. The characters are well-written, Mamma Lou was a nice surprise, and Steve and Ellie make a good team. This book has a super-hero vibe, but filled with magical creatures.
