First rule in this line of business: don’t sleep with the client. My name’s Kate Kane, and when an eight-hundred-year-old vampire prince came to me with a case, I should have told her no. But I’ve always been a sucker for a femme fatale. It always goes the same way. You move too fast, you get in too deep, and before you know it, someone winds up dead. Last time it was my partner. This time it could be me. Yesterday a werewolf was murdered outside the Velvet, the night-time playground of one of the most powerful vampires in England. Now half the monsters in London are at each other’s throats, and the other half are trying to get in my pants. The Witch Queen will protect her own, the wolves are out for vengeance, and the vampires are out for, y’know, blood. I’ve got a killer on the loose, a war on the horizon, and a scotch on the rocks. It’s going to be an interesting day.

Kate is a private detective operating in London, despite this being a first novel, she's got quite a past involving vampires, t...
A fun read in several ways. I quite liked the tone in general, as well as some of the characters. I think Elise remains my favourite, even though she doesn't appear that much, and I can only side with Julian when she says, basically, that [spoiler] "very few people manage to give life to something i...
What a fun paranormal romp! I was a little hesitant about this one, seeing as Glitterland by the same author had left me rather cold, but the first big bonus - NO DIALECT!!! Earned a star just for that, I swear. :) So Kate Kane is a bisexual PI (paranormal investigator) who drinks too much and ...
ARC provided by Riptide Publishing through Netgalley As I read this book's description it went something like this: Book: "My name's Kate Kane, and when an eight-hundred-year-old vampire prince came to me with a case--" Me: *yawn* Boring! Book: "I should have told her no. But I've always been a su...
Iron & Velvet - two substances that represent strength and sensuality, and in some sense are interchangeable. It's an appropriate title for a book that combines two genres - the hard-boiled PI story with a wild paranormal ride - that mesh well in this environment. Kate Kane is hired to investigate t...
