I ove this author, I'm a big fan of her Fallow Creek series. I was happy to be asked to read this one before its re-release on 31 October 2024.

This one is different in setting and vibe to the Fallow Creek books, but just as good. The main character is a morally grey female vampire detective in San Francisco, where paranormal creatures walk amongst humans unknown, and she's chasing down a vampire serial killer.

I'm actually surprised this is the author's debut written at a young age, because this story has a ton of maturity with a complex main character. It's definitely a bit brutal at times but it's a vampire story so that's to be expected. Cain is an author who doesn't hold back from making some tough decisions in her stories and I find that refreshing.

This is a smart urban paranormal story with solid worldbuilding. Look forward to reading the next in the series!
