Switchback

Switchback by Melissa F. Olson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The gritty urban fantasy series continues as Chicago agents investigate the disappearance of a suspected vampire in a bloody jailbreak.

Three weeks after the events of Nightshades, things are finally beginning to settle for Chicago’s Bureau of Preternatural Investigations. But the brief respite from the horror of the previous few weeks was never destined to last.

The team gets a call from Switch Creek, IL, where a young man has been arrested on suspicion of being a shade. The suspect is held overnight, pending DNA testing—only to disappear in a terrifying massacre. But is there more to the jailbreak than a simple quest for freedom?

“Miss Olson continues to impress with this second book in her Nightshades series. I continue to be amazed at the texture and imagination placed in her worlds. This one is even more to my liking than The Old World series due to its more grounded portrayal of vampires and their function in regard to humans. The characters here lack some of the shine her other books are overflowing with, but that is relative to their length. Still, I don't want for personality, only development, though I imagine that by the time the series concludes, I will have the completed arcs that I am looking for. It's another solid book by one of my favorite authors. 4/5”
