Alex McKenna is the new Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago office of the Bureau of Preternatural Investigations - the division tasked with investigating crimes involving shades.
Or vampires, as they're more widely known.
Children have been going missing, and agents are routinely being slaughtered. It's up to McKenna, and some unlikely allies, to get to the bottom of the problem, and find the kids before it's too late.
Nightshades is a new gritty urban fantasy from Melissa F. Olson.

The more I read (and that's a great deal), the more I look for & appreciate the creativity of a story. The creative mind is a gift & greatly appreciated by this reader.
Enjoyable Read!

But, overall this had a great balance of mystery vs urban fantasy, fun characters, and decent dialogue. Finally, while there’s definitely crime thriller-level violence, this doesn’t devolve into horror-porn or rely on A-hole, F-bomb dropping MCs to sell this as gritty urban fantasy, which I definitely appreciated.
Everybody knows about the Dresdens and Sandman Slims, but If you want to continue off the beaten path with similar cop procedural, vampire urban fantasy stories, I recommend:
☠️Quincy Harker omnibus, if you want to go mouthier gumshoe MC (he’s at least a fun a-hole)
☠️Working Stiff by Rachel Caine, starting a pulpier mystery thriller trilogy involving modern day vampires
☠️Not Dead Yet by Jenn Burke, starting a MM paranormal romance vampire cop procedural
(okay, this last one is very off the beaten path, but still…)
Blade - as a more stylish cop procedural

A great start to a new series

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I felt the story had so much more to offer and the author kind of chopped it up a bit at the end where that whole scenario should've been longer imo.
Nice twist on the usual vampire stories!
