Dancing with Werewolves
By Carole Nelson DouglasPublisher Description
Paranormal investigator Delilah Street, who watched underworld beings like vampires and witches move into the real world during a Y2K television broadcast as an orphan, moves to Las Vegas to search for a possible blood relative shown on CSI.
It was the revelation of the millennium: witches, werewolves, vampires and other supernaturals are real. Fast-forward 13 years: TV reporter Delilah Street used to cover the small-town bogeyman beat back in Kansas, but now, in high-octane Las Vegas—which is run by a werewolf mob—she finds herself holding back the gates of Hell itself. But at least she has a hot new guy and one big bad wolfhound to help her out...

“Written by Carole Nelson Douglas, Dancing with Werewolves follows investigative reporter Delilah as she moves to Las Vegas to confront the girl who played a corps on an episode of CSI who could be her twin. But really, Delilah is an orphan.
Until Delilah learns that her twin was actually dead in that shot, meets the mysterious Ric, oh, and by the way, all of the monsters and things in the night are out in the open after the Millennium.
Some information before we get into the Good and the Bad. I read this book YEARS ago and could not, for the life of me, remember what this was called. But it had this scene that always stuck with me, particularly as I have gotten more and more into dancing. AND I CAN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SCENE UNLESS YOU GO BELOW TO THE SPOILERS/DISCUSSION SECTION! Gah. On to the good and bad.
The good: this is a very unique story and world. These creatures and powerful beings are different, in their own way that you do need to discover, from the traditional monsters we always read and watch. That is a big point to the author. I also actually like all of the characters and that they all have personalities that come through. I think if you like monsters, action and adventure, or urban fantasy, or romance (romance with a capital R).
The bad: the scenes are good, but the in-between is a little... blury. Vague. And the dialogue is odd because these characters who have never met all seem to have this secret codes with each other. I often had no idea what the characters were alluding to.
A lot happens in this book (it is a long book), and I will be looking for the next book in my library (GO LIBRARIES!), but mostly I am just happy to find this story again. And this author has written so many novels, and I don't know if I have ever heard of her before! Go, discover new books!”

About Carole Nelson Douglas
Carole Nelson Douglas, author of more than fifty fantasy and science fiction, mystery, mainstream, and romance novels, was an award-winning reporter and editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. After writing some bestselling high fantasy novels and SF thrillers, she imported fantasy notions into her Midnight Louie mystery series, which features a hard-boiled Las Vegas PI who’s a feline “Sam Spade with hairballs.” Her Irene Adler historical series made Carole the first author to use a woman from the Sherlock Holmes stories as a protagonist in the 1991 New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Good Night, Mr. Holmes. She’s won or been short-listed for more than fifty writing awards in nonfiction, sf/fantasy, mystery, and romance genres, including several from the Romance Writers of America and Romantic Times BOOKreviews magazine, and the Cat Writers’ Association. In 2008, RT BOOKreviews magazine named Carole a “pioneer of the publishing industry. Carole and husband Sam Douglas, a former art museum exhibitions director and kaleidoscope designer, are kept as pets by five stray cats and a dog in Fort Worth, Texas. She collects vintage clothing, and does a mean Marilyn Monroe impersonation, and, yes, she does dance, but not with werewolves. As far as she knows.
