Thirteen years ago, monsters emerged from the shadows and plunged Kierse’s world into a cataclysmic war of near-total destruction. The New York City she knew so well collapsed practically overnight. In the wake of that carnage, the Monster Treaty was created. A truce … of sorts. But tonight, Kierse—a gifted and fearless thief—will break that treaty. She’ll enter the Holly Library … not knowing it’s the home of a monster.

Story
Detective Angie Pallorino took down a serial killer permanently and, according to her superiors, with excessive force. Benched on a desk assignment for twelve months, Angie struggles to maintain her sense of identity—if she's not a detective, who is she? Then a decades-old cold case washes ashore, pulling her into an investigation she recognizes as deeply personal. Angie's lover and partner, James Maddocks, sees it, too. But spearheading an ongoing probe into a sex-trafficking ring while keeping Angie's increasing obsession with her case in check is taking its toll.

Reviewed: 10-22-24
Angie was written really well. But almost too self absorbed to be likeable at times. I wish she’d had a bit more inner turmoil about her actions.

What a wonderful book. The characters were well developed. Olivia’s panic attacks were written with such exact descriptions. I enjoyed every minute of listening on my way to and from work.

I loved this entire story. I can’t wait to hear and read the next books. I did find myself craving for the transitions between major events to last just a little longer. Maybe I wasn’t ready to move as quickly as the characters were able to do so. But that’s a very small consideration and a larger, beautiful story. I was on the edge of my seat!

A murderer who drinks his victim’s blood? FBI profiler Zoe Bentley and Agent Tatum Gray thought they’d seen it all, but this young woman’s barbaric murder is especially hard to stomach. They didn’t expect to work this case. But vampirism aside, the murderer’s MO is identical to that of Rod Glover - the serial killer who’s been pursuing Zoe since childhood. Forensics reveals the murder to be his work, but not his alone; desperate to fulfill his sick purpose, he has taken on an equally depraved partner.

For a while now I’ve been reading medieval murder mysteries and did not think I wanted to transition back to modern times. But this book changed all that. I can’t wait to read Miss Webb’s next book and I was caught in her story for almost the first chapter.
