Nightshades

By Melissa F. Olson
Nightshades by Melissa F. Olson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A federal agent in Chicago is charged with stopping a vampire crime surge in this urban fantasy thriller series debut.

Humans have never been all that comfortable with the knowledge that they coexist with otherworldly bloodsuckers known as shades. Yet life does go on . . . with some adjustments. The Bureau of Paranormal Investigations has special authority to apprehend shades—or vampires as they’re more widely known—who break the law.

Alex McKenna is the new Special Agent in Charge of the BPI’s Chicago office. And he has plenty to keep him busy. 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.

“This was a wonderful suprise, I can't recall where I read the recommendation but it was a accurate one for me. The first 40 pages I struggled a bit as it read like so many other techno-thrillers but I don't know what changed and I just clicked with the story and finished the rest in a single sitting. Looking forward to reading the next.”
Thumbs Up“I’m in a paranormal mystery phase. This one was a good fit for my mood. Plenty of action, a hint of romance, and nothing too complex.”
