Night Shift: Fang, Fur, Blood and Bone

by J.C. O'Brien

Beat cop Cassie Hunt thinks she can hide from her paranormal heritage as a blood witch, until a murderer begins ritualistically taking fang, fur, blood and bone for a massive spell, beginning with Cassie’s warlock uncle. Cassie vows to catch her uncle’s killer – a vow that walks her back into her werewolf ex fiancé’s arms. When the murderer tries and fails to kill Cassie using vampire assassins, Cassie herself becomes a vampire. After her blood witch mother goes missing, Cassie must use all the magic in her blood and fangs to defeat the killer.

Reviews

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

half through, I have mixed feelings about this book. There are some great ideas here and overall the writing is good, but there are some choppy transitions and it needed to be proofed one more time for clarity. Interested enough to finish, but it's jarrong in spots,

Update:
I didn't finish it. Again, there are some great ideas in here but there are parts that are almost incoherent or laborious to read.

Mysteries to solve

This was intense and at times a mystery. I wish it was more forthcoming with information about the side characters. Did Nick cheat on Cassie? I mean the whole vampire thing the reason they are not a couple. What about other vampires? I mean there is just so much I don’t understand and I hope I do with the next book.
