Swarm of Fire (Las Vegas Paranormal Police Department: Unleashed Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 388 ratings

This pixie's got nothing on Tinkerbell...
A foul-mouthed pixie has hit the streets in Vegas to stir up trouble.

He's tiny, angry, and full of magic dust. His primary goal is to wreak as much havoc as possible on the tourists and casinos. Ian Dex and the crew of the Las Vegas PPD have to track down the little bastard and stop him.

The problem is that the pixie can create the most terrifying monsters out of thin air. His creations include Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman, the Swamp Ape, and worst of all...Barney the dinosaur.

They're scary, deadly, and kinda cute.

Cute or not,
nobody wants the Vegas Strip to fall under the rule of a flippin' pixie...

Ian Dex

Ian Dex
Fighting for Vegas

With Ian, it's all about protecting his crew and the city he loves. If that means he has to get busy with a succubus in order to keep everyone safe, he's willing to take one for the team...as long as there's a safe word. A job is a job, after all.

Ian Dex makes sure what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

It's up to him to keep the Vegas Strip safe from nefarious supernatural activity

Ian Dex is a unique supernatural being. His DNA has elements of them all, so he's the perfect choice to be chief of the Las Vegas Paranormal Police Department.

As a group of ubernaturals descend on the city, Ian and his crew have to put everything on the line to control the ensuing chaos. Too bad things are even crazier on the squad than outside.

Bottom line: There's no room for prudes on this team. Language is blunt, snark is fierce, and innuendo seems to be an official requirement.

    Kindle Unlimited, won't bother with the insults to the writers this time, the book at least so far is my favorite in the Ian Dex books, and yeah maybe it could have been just a smidge better, but not by much, proof being is that I buy select books/series or wait until it's a collection of some sort such as when Platoon F came out in sets, so this being verified, yeah.... {And I sometimes even ARC his books, so me reading this and then buying it, yeah again}. As long as he doesn't come up with an Uber Uber {vehicle} we, and the world should be safe, maybe.

    Dusty beasts. An angry pixie. A relationship on the edge. Las Vegas paranormal police chief and horndog Ian Dex struggles with his feelings toward Rachel Cress as the Vegas Strip gets thrown into a maelstrom of beasts who are bent on destruction. But soon they find themselves in the limelight because tourists think it's one of the best and most realistic shows they've ever seen. It gets even worse when they find out that some of the creatures being created are made from normals…

    To stop the uber pixie from taking over the town with his dusty creations, Ian's crew must find a way to track the guy and bring him to his knees. Failure means the Vegas Strip will fall under the rule of a flippin' pixie, and that'd just be embarrassing…

    up to this point I've really loved all aspects of the Ian Dex novels, but the pixie fest was just not funny in the least way. The jokes were old and very tired. I am sure they could have been replaced with a cabbage to the same effect.

    Ian is slogging through relationship issues...with everyone. His superiors aren’t sharing information, his girlfriend cum partner cum girlfriend is as confused as he is about the status of their relationship, his team is maturing in it’s own right with all the conflict that infers and he’s even got internal conflict with his , well, The Admiral. With a little help of his very own Deep Throat, he is learning tantalizing bits about the origins of the Uber’s but not quite enough to put a complete idea around. Sometimes the best you can hope for is to win today’s battle. Another great step in the series.

    Balancing a relationship with the needs of his military member isn’t easy. Can Ian pull out a win against a pixie on the prowl while keeping it in his pants?
    Well, I’m not going to tell you. Read the book.

    Ian Dex’s Las Vegas is a lot more exciting than the Las Vegas the normal crowd sees. In this latest installment of his series he encounters Big Foot type creatures, killer Barney the Dinosaur style creatures, and werewolves—all bent on killing Ian and his crew. The creatures are under the control of an uber Pixie, another member of the growing group of beings somehow becoming uber versions of themselves that Ian and his team have to find and destroy before they take over Las Vegas and kill the normal residents. Lots of action and humor in this book, with the added bonus of Ian and Rachel trying to make a go of being a couple again. Logsdon and Young are creating a great cast of characters with this series, and with each new entry the characters grow and change, and we get to go along for the very wild ride. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys urban fantasy with a healthy dose of humor.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2018
    This fantastically funny urban fantasy series about Ian Dex and his team in the Las Vegas Paranormal Police Department started with The Merging, was even better in Grave Creatures, yet better again in Blood Bane Tower, went across the Pond for an adventure in London Growl and now is up against ...well you wouldn't believe me if I told you so it’ll be better to read it for yourself?! The whole team are fun, sarcastic and neither perfect nor pc. There is a great mixture of laugh out loud humour, action and storyline in this addictive series which kept me wanting to read more even though I knew I had to get up early for work in the morning?! I am enjoying seeing this great series developing and absolutely cannot wait to read more!

    Really enjoyed the newest Ian Dex PPD book. The original crew back together and fighting supernatural criminals. This book has a lot of laugh out loud moments, as well as the usual monsters and bad guys. We are, however, no closer to finding out about Ian Dex's background, although the character himself is starting to ask some serious questions, so here's hoping that the authors give us all some answers in the next novel.

    Ian has a new issue on the strip with his squad this time its a small foul mouthed Uber that keeps upping his game after the LVPPD keep foiling each attack. As usuall plenty if snark and sooooooo much fun to read with the added extra of seeing the relationship between Ian and Rachel (and the Admiral) evolve this series gets better and better as it goes on.

    Another brilliant laugh out loud read from John P Logsdon. Great plot and good twists, arguing with The Admiral is class and hilarious....you will have to read Swarm of Fire to find out who The Admiral is. Just be careful where you read it as you will be in stitches at times. Brilliant page turner,you can't wait to find out the ending
