Publisher's Summary
All Gideon Bean wants is to be left alone to burn corpses in peace. Is that too much to ask?
Nothing exciting happens at Peterson Cremation Services–exactly how Gideon prefers it. All his life, he has seen things–scary and bizarre visions that weren’t really there. Working the night shift at the crematorium and days at Sheryl's Shell Shack lets him keep his head down and ignore the strange world around him. The last time Gideon reacted to one of his hallucinations, he ended up in a psychiatric hold. He can’t let anything like that happen again–it would break his mother’s heart.
Then suddenly, a woman with flaming wings and fiery eyes crawls out of a crematorium oven one night.
Dacey Menet is a Mythical who is reborn in fire. She’s investigating a series of local murders and disappearances, and she is enraged to have been one of the victims. Now Dacey needs Gideon’s help to catch her murderer.
Because it turns out his ‘hallucinations’ are real–Gideon Bean can see magic.

Great array of characters
This is the first in a new series by the author of the Sophie Feegle series and is set in the same world.
Ms Demarco certainly writes unique settings! This time around she's given us a crematorium so if you like something a bit left of centre, with loads of potential for the unusual, definitely try this one. I was intrigued by the MC.....there was obviously an interesting backstory to Gideon but it took a while to be revealed. I was happy to wait though! There was plenty to keep my interest here, with the fmc, Dacey, entering the story in a jaw-dropping way and roping Gideon into the murders she is trying to solve.
I loved Gideon's care for his mum. They both constantly put the other first, in what was a beautiful relationship, even if it's foundations are a bit shaky.
The pacing was good, keeping everything moving, with revelations timed perfectly for peaks in the story.
Gideon's future was mentioned several times in the body of the story, in ways that absolutely fascinated me and made me eager for more in this series.
