By the light of the full moon, evil stalks the streets of Daybridge... Detective Ethan Reeves has spent years hiding his true nature from his police colleagues. But when a series of brutal murders rocks the city's supernatural community, he's forced to embrace the beast within to hunt a killer that's anything but human. As the body count rises, Ethan finds himself caught between two worlds. The human detectives see only a string of random attacks, but Ethan's heightened senses tell a different story. Each victim bears the mark of an ancient blood ritual, and the killer's scent carries traces of something far more sinister than your average werewolf. Partnered with rookie detective Alice Chen—who's got secrets of her own—Ethan must navigate politics, centuries-old vendettas, and his growing attraction to a woman who doesn't know what he really is. As the next full moon approaches, time is running out. If Ethan can't catch the killer soon, he risks exposing not only himself but the entire supernatural community hiding in plain sight. Perfect for fans of Patricia Briggs and Jim Butcher, this gritty urban fantasy thriller combines hardboiled detective noir with supernatural suspense that will keep you turning pages deep into the night. First in the pulse-pounding Ethan Reeves series, where the monsters aren't always the ones you should fear.
