The Hour of Dust and Ashes
To save her sister, she must stop a silent killer. . . .
Protecting Atlanta from the off-world criminals of Underground is tough enough, but now Detective Charlie Madigan and her siren partner, Hank, learn that the addicts of the offworld drug ash have begun taking their own lives. Ash makes humans the perfect vessels for possession, and something or someone is leading them to their deaths. Charlie is desperate to save her addicted sister, Bryn, from a similar fate. As New Year’s Eve approaches and time runs out, Charlie makes a deadly bargain with an ancient race of beings and embarks on a dangerous journey into hellish Charbydon with Hank and the Revenant Rex to save Bryn and make it back before it’s too late. Only, for one of them, coming home means facing a fate worse than death. . . .

The Darkest Edge of Dawn
It takes a strong woman to keep the peace in a city of endless night. . . .
Deep beneath Underground, a cunning bid for power and revenge has begun—one that threatens to make Atlanta the new battleground in the ultimate confrontation between good and evil. The powers of hellish Charbydon have the upper hand after plunging the city into primordial night. And under the cover of darkness, a serial killer targets the most powerful Elysians in the city, the angelic Adonai. For Detective Charlie Madigan and her siren partner Hank, tracking deadly predators is all in a day’s work . . . but this case will test the limits of their strength and friendship as it draws them into a deadly world of power plays, ancient myths, explosive secrets, and a race against time that risks all that Charlie holds dear.

Review: Oct 3, 2010
You know it is going to be a good day, or would that be night, in abnormally dark Atlanta, when you get a call about a dead body in a warehouse. It goes downhill from there as it usually does for Charlie Madigan and her partner Hank. Seems there is a serial killer on the loose, Rex owes a large sum of money, her sister’s life is in freefall and her relationship with her daughter is strained. Not to ment
The Better Part of Darkness
Divorced mother of one, Charlie Madigan, lives in a world where the beings of heaven and hell exist among us, and they aren't the things of Sunday school lessons and Hallmark figurines. In the years since the Revelation, they've become our co-workers, neighbors, and fellow citizens.
Charlie works for ITF (Integration Task Force). It's her job to see that the continued integration of our new "friends" goes smoothly and everyone obeys the law, but when a new off-world drug is released in Underground Atlanta, her daughter is targeted, and her ex-husband makes a fateful bargain to win her back, there's nothing in heaven or earth (or hell for that matter) that Charlie won't do to set things right.

Review: Oct 1, 2009
On the surface, The Better Part of Darkness by Kelly Gay appears to be a typical debut in the urban fantasy genre. You have the kick-butt heroine, the long suffering partner, the complicated love life. But what sets it apart, besides the great writing and the unique world building, is the fact that our heroine is a single mom!
Charlie Madigan is an Integration Task Force officer with the Atlanta P.D.
