I was really looking forward to this. The blurb, and some of the ideas, stand out from the crowd of paranormal/urban fantasy books on the market. Unfortunately, the characters are flimsy and their actions are melodramatic. The heroine is forever charging around, doing things which she knows are stupid - literally, she even acknowledges before she does them that they are stupid, and will be counterproductive to what she wants to achieve. I ran out of patience and couldn't be bothered to even skim read the last half of the book. I might the author out again in a few years, like I said, she definitely has some good ideas, but her writing isn't there yet for me. That said, if you like it frothy with some darkness, this could be the book for you.

A great new author!
|
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book since I saw it advertised somewhere months ago. After getting a sneak peek at this author's talents in "My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon" I was even more eager to get my hands on this book.
I was not disappointed at all! Another great new author has come into the Urban Paranormal fold and I hope she is welcomed with open arms! Night Life is the first part in the 'Nocturne City' series and if the other books to come are anything like this debut I will be extremely happy.
Luna is a great lead character and is as Hard as they come but also alone. She is an Insoli werewolf and a police detective but has no pack. All she has is her cousin Sunny and a few collegues from work who seem to like her.
This story is fast paced, smart and dark. Think NYPD Blues but with werewolves and demons! I totally enjoyed this and can't wait for 'Pure Blood' out in August.
