Editorial Review:
The first book in a thrilling, addictive new series by a talented new voice in dark fantasy. Welcome to Nocturne City, where werewolves, black magicians, and witches prowl the streets at night… Among them is Luna Wilder, a tough-as-nails police officer whose job is to keep the peace. As an Insoli werewolf, Luna travels without a pack and must rely on instinct alone. And she’s just been assigned to find the ruthless killer behind a string of ritualistic murders—a killer with ties to an escaped demon found only in legend…until now. But when she investigates prime suspect Dmitri Sandovsky, she can’t resist his wolfish charms. Pack leader of a dangerous clan of Redbacks, Dimitri sends her animal instincts into overdrive and threatens her fiercely-guarded independence. But Luna and Dimiri will need to rely on each other as they’re plunged into an ancient demon underworld and pitted against an expert black magician with the power to enslave them for eternity…

Rating:  - Starts off good, but really falls apart towards end
This book starts out with the typical urban/para stuff, in a pretty cool world with some fun characters, but it really falls apart at the end. It seems entirely too rushed towards the end, with some plot holes and just complete confusion about what the heck is going on and happened. Nothing really gets resolved, her cousin gets dismissed, she has some 1 page kinky sex with another character who dies and comes back to life with little explanation, and that's pretty much it. The whole climax demon ... Read More
Rating:  - Werewolves, witches, demons
When I decided to purchase this book I expected, well I am not sure what I expected... But it didn't really amaze me.
It was a good read, funny and dark, but it just didn't convince me...
The world-building was one of the best I've read but it felt like the characters weren't 'alive'.
Like their emotions weren't those felt of normal people... And, in my own weird thinking... Werewolves should mate for life... It's one of the characteristics of the natural wolf and I always ... Read More

Luna Wilder is a tough and independent cop who is working a tough city. She is also an Insoli (lone) werewolf. This makes things even harder as she is learning the ins and outs of being a werewolf day by day. Luna has been called into investigate some murders which all seem to be ritualistic in nature. Her investigation is sending Luna into some of the worst parts of her city.
Dmitri Sandovsky is the pack leader of the Redbacks and he is also a serious suspect in the murders. Dmitri ... Read More
Rating:  - I enjoyed this book.....
So, I really liked this book. I read it in about a day. For me it was a page turner. The only thing I didnt like was the way they described Dimitri. I imagined him to be dirty and at one time he was a pimp! I am suppose to despise him and then want her to be with him. Sorry, I just cant seem to warm up to a pimp - regardless of whether he is reformed.
Other than that, I really liked the book. It grabed my interest and held it the entire time. I am looking forward to the next book.
Rating: - A promising start
I'd prefer to give 3 1/2 stars, but I'm feeling generous and rounding up since it's the first novel in a series, and often, authors take a little bit to get into the groove of their main protagonist. I'm sincerely hoping this is the case.
Luna is a cop fighting her werewolf nature, and while she's labeled tough-as-nails, that description tends to mean aggressive, angry, and flippant in this story. Not that that's a bad thing, but in this case, it made it difficult to garner a lot of sympathy ... Read More
