Pure Blood

A shapeshifter cop must solve a serial murder case and prevent two warring witch covens from destroying a city in this romantic paranormal urban fantasy. 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 . . . 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. "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." — New York Times–bestselling author Jim Butcher Caitlin Kittredge's Nocturne City Novels Night Life (#1) Pure Blood (#2) Second Skin (#3) Witch Craft (#4) Daemon's Mark (#5)
