    More paragraphs!!

    It's about this girl (who's actually a succubus) and she is a police detecive. Her and her partner Joe's job is to investigate things that aren't exactly normal, like the case that starts the book, a harpy found dead with no head and no wings in an alleyway. It is completely devoid of romantic BS since she is a succubus, and therefore unable to love anyone. Since falling in love is really counterproductive when your species kills people after sex. Anyways, they find this harpy, which is a big deal for reasons I'll tell you later, and go on this huge investigation involving magic, politics, conspiracies, and other fun stuff :). Now Ally (the main character) has a special ability that can only be found commonly in demons (no other race has ever been capable of it) which is some thing she calls "magic vision". Whenever she turns it on, she can see any trace of magic overlaying the world in a bright white-pink glow. The problem with it is that your eyes become completely pitch black when the ability is acquired. So she has to cover up it's existance by putting magic over her eyes so that they seem normal. But when she turns on the magic vision, she can't see anything because the blinding light of her "eye cover up" is all she can see. Basically whenever she needs to use the vision, she has to risk exposing her secret.

    Joe is a werewolf, and though he knows about Ally's magic vision, he doesn't know that she can see the giant hulking wolf-man aura that he gives off whenever she turns it on. So, back to harpies, why are they so important? Well, way back when, Councils of grandmaster wizards were formed in each major city in the world, and they all built up magical barriers around their respective cities, Denver being the one the story takes place in. The "Walls", the term used to describe the barriers, were constructed by the grandmasters. Each council has 6 grandmasters, one the practices fire, one air, one water, and one earth, the other two are auxillary. Denver's wall was built to keep out the usual baddies, demons, imps, trolls, ogres etc. and harpies. Now, harpies are rather dumb, so the fact that they got through a wall made by people who had been practicing magic for hundreds of years is something to worry about, and the one that lets them in is a grandmaster in his own right. But he is far more powerful then the six of the Denver council....
    I'm fine, been spending too much time on irc because of spring break. :) How about you?
    yes, the pill is somewhat of a miracle drug, causing you to live forever on the first dose. Although you are immortal, you are not invincible and can be killed by unnatural causes whenever :D sorry if that doesn't answer your question entirely :3
    Alright, so, in the near future, a company called Caine Industries, or just CI, develops a pill that can extend your life to 50-100 years beyond your normal limit and will keep you healthy long enough to enjoy your extra years. Then, maybe 200 years later, they come out with a pill that can make you immortal-ish. Now, the pill only takes one time to have an effect, but since there are no side effects from taking many of them, the company decides to convince the populace that they have to eat one pill every day to prevent from sudden death. To do this, they charge you $4000 a year, and send you your pills monthly, one for every day. The problem is, when someone stops paying, they will still live on, since the pill works it's magic on the first dose.

    That's where the main character comes in. His name is Andy and he is an employee of CI, but an employee that's job is completely illegal. Since you live on when you cancel your payments, CI, being the terrible company that they are, send in a team of "Reapers" who will come in and kill the person that canceled their program. Andy is a Reaper, but he decides that killing people for a living isn't a good way to go, even though CI gives him free pills and the best insurance policy ever. When a Reaper goes rogue, other Reapers are called in to bring him down, since he could expose CI to the public and have the company brought down.

    This is where the story starts. Andy goes rogue, and with the help of his 'friends' attempts to bring down CI for killing innocents, but his friends are all Reapers, and he can't trust any of them....
    I decided to listen to every song that In Flames had ever made. Ever. Crawl Through Knives is by far my favorite from them now. Listening to all of their songs took a VERY long time. It was time well spent, though.
