Part 2 of the Nocturne City-series November 1, 2008
S. Fischer (Germany)
This book is set in an America where werewolves, witches and the like openly exist, but are not always well tolerated by humans.
After the injuries werewolf police detective Luna Wilder incurred in the first of the series, 'Night Life', when battling the blood witches who tried to summon a demon, she is just back on the force when a war between two powerful witch families starts. Her partner - who is from one of the witch families involved - and her new boss - who is prejudiced against her for being a werewolf - are less than happy with the fact that she wants to go against these people, so things are pretty difficult when it comes to her job. And the werewolf she loves, Dmitri, is being forced by his pack leaders to stay away from Luna - and she from him. And they have no problem whatsoever with killing her if she doesn't comply. Luna, however, not only loves Dmitri, but is also in desperate need of his help if she is to survive the witch feud...
Like 'Night Life' this is a dark urban fantasy with interesting characters and a suspenseful and entertaining plot. I felt that the book was even better than the first in the series, almost perfect. My only complaint is that Luna in many ways doesn't learn from her mistakes and does things that are simply not convincing from a policewoman, even if she's an outsider. A glaring example would be when she takes the only existing piece of evidence against one of the witches and takes it directly to him, knowing he is much more powerful than her. He promptly destroys it and she almost dies. Too stupid to live, anyone? Apart from that it's a great book and I look forward to reading more books about Luna and Dmitri.
