Arthropoda by Xenia Melzer
Detective George Donavon doesn’t plan to stay in Charleston long. Skeptical and by-the-book, he’s on the fast track to the top, and he won’t let anything derail his career. Especially not Andrew Hayes, his grumpy, awkward new partner—and not the chief’s secret order to find out how said partner solves even the most difficult cases.
George and Andi can’t agree on anything except their mutual dislike, but when three dead girls turn up at a storage unit, they must put their differences aside before the suspected trafficking ring claims another victim.
There is no crime without witnesses. Andi knows George suspects his always-right “hunches” point to corruption, but he doesn’t care. All that matters is catching a killer… and keeping his secret. But with leads on this sprawling conspiracy drying up, he has no choice. He just can’t let his partner find out how he’s getting the information.
Andi’s on the verge of losing his life, his mind, and his career. He could take George down with him…
If the violent criminals who are always one step ahead don’t get to them first.

An amazing story, really and I'm looking forward to the next. The plot is quite cool and the whole idea of the main character's 'gift' pretty fresh. The only thing I have a problem with is the genre tag. Because there was no romance in it whatsoever and if there was some notion of physical or romantic attraction between the main characters it was in so early a stage that even they did not seem to be consciously aware of it, let alone doing anything about it. Don't get me wrong, it will probably happen at some point in the next books but for now partners was all the two of them were.
