Description:

SUMMARY: In the shadows of Nocturne City, witches lurk and demons prowl, and homicide detective Luna Wilder must keep the peace--while living life as a werewolf. Now bodies are turning up all over town, the brutal murders linked by a cryptic message: "We see with empty eyes...""PURE BLOOD"""To make matters worse for Luna, she can't get wolfishly handsome Dmitri Sandovsky out of her mind. The last time he helped her with a case, Dmitri suffered a demon bite that infected him with a mysterious illness...and now his pack elders have forbidden him from associating with Luna. But she'll need his help when high-level witches start turning up slaughtered. Because a war is brewing between rival clans of blood witches and caster witches--a magical gang war with the power to burn Nocturne City to the ground. Praise for the Nocturne City series: ""Pure Blood" pounds along hard on the heels of "Night Life," and is every bit as much fun as the first in the series. With a gutsy, likable protagonist and a well-made fantasy world, "Pure Blood" is real enough to make you think twice about locking your doors at night. A swiftly-paced plot, a growing cast of solid supporting characters, and a lead character you can actually care about--Kittredge is a winner." --Jim Butcher"Dark and cutting edge" --"Romantic Times""I loved the mystery and the smart, gutsy heroine."--Karen Chance"" "Hot, hip, and fast-paced...I couldn't put it down"--Lilith Saintcrow
