Nora Simeon hates demons.
About The Demons of Chiyoda:
Occult private eye, Nora Simeon, and Eyre, her uncannily pretty boyfriend, are on another case on behalf of the Commission, the secret organization that controls financial sorcery in the Americas. This time they're hunting down an investment-bank sorcerer who cracked when passed over for promotion and used a summoned demon to commit murder. Finding the murderer is easy, but he's already dead, assassinated in a locked room.
The case's ramifications quickly reach far beyond New York. From a murder scene in Queens, Nora and Eyre discover a tangled web of international corruption and sorcery linking crimes in Japan and the US. Traveling to Tokyo at the behest of the mysterious Onmyōdō Group, they run afoul of the even more deadly Ministry of Shadows. In the rural reaches of Fukushima province, Nora and Eyre discover a fateful secret that could shake the foundations of financial sorcery all around the world and come up against an old enemy whose malice poses a greater danger than any they've faced before.

My Review:
The Demons of Chiyoda is the third book in an epic paranormal/urban fantasy novel.
Read along as Nora and Eyre find themselves working on another case by the Commission. Tracking down an investment banker guilty of murder-by-demon proves to be harder than anticipated. When they finally discover his secret location, all they find is a corpse and his demon. Now they have to figure out who murdered the murderer but left his demon alone.
This case sends Nora and Eyre to Tokyo to investigate the tangled threads of global corruption. The mysterious Onmyōdō Group requests their presence but before Nora and Eyre meet with the group, several unsettling events occur that shake up Nora and Eyre. Financial sorcery as they know it may be forever changed after Nora and Eyre discover a secret and they are forced to confront an old enemy.
Full of surprising twists and turns, The Demons of Chiyoda kept me on my toes. The author does a fantastic job weaving a suspenseful story with a wonderful plot, interesting characters, and realistic world-building. I was drawn in from the beginning of the series and book 3 is a wonderful continuation of Nora and Eyre's story. The author's writing style and engaging plot kept me entertained as I devoured this novella.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
