About the author
Mark Henwick
55 books369 followersI was born in Africa and left out in the sun too often.
After being persuaded that I wasn't going to be able to be a cowboy if I grew up, I got interested in philosophy and psychology. Tending bars proved to me they weren't as much fun as they sounded. While trying to enroll in a class to read Science Fiction full time, I ended up taking an electronic engineering degree which splendidly qualified me to move into marketing. That in turn spawned a late onset career in creative writing.
When not writing, I fly a microlight aircraft, or get muddy on a mountain bike.
I love reading obviously. Urban Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Thrillers, History, Crime, Art, oh nearly everything.

Urban Fantasy at its best
I just finished putting my life on hold to binge this series. I have to say this hits all my needs for a great read.
-smooth writing style
-action packed and a mystery to solve
-unique world with a well paced roll out of information that leaves you intrigued rather than confused
-an ever evolving FMC who is funny, likable and tough
-secondary characters that add so much to the storytelling that they deserve their own series
-love and respect as underlying threads that hold the characters together
-logical sexual content that fits the world and doesn’t bog down the story (I initially worried it could turn Anita Blake series style but it did not)
-found family and found community
-humor, sarcasm and some snark
As others have said, if you enjoy Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, and I would add Lisa Edmonds’ Alice Worth series, JS Kennedy’s Mackenzie Green series, and TA Whites’ Aileen Travers series then this series is definitely worth reading.
Enjoy!

This is a keeper!!?
I have spent the past ten day/nights reading this series! It pulls you in and doesn't let go until the very end. I believe that it would be a fantastic dramatized audio format! I will be listening to it on Audible soon!

very long
It is 8 books, so naturally it is very long, but the later ones are just walking over the same ground. I enjoy the story but the polyamory is completely over the top with many scenes that are pornographic. In the beginning the author does a pretty good job of staying in female character, but it starts breaking down and I actually keep forgetting the main character is supposed to be female in later stories. I would not continue this series.

Well written and thought out
He combines the characters and story lines while erasing pre-conceived notions and explodes them into exciting adventure, action, and crosses civilians and military with the paranormal world in ways that makes you really love the contrast! There is no comparison to the predictable others! I can’t wait for the rest of the series to continue!

Bite Back Series
This series is one of the best I have read. The characters are believable. The plot twists and turns were well thought out. Usually when I read something I can figure out the story. Not this series !! Thanks Mark for the time and thought that went into this series.
