Daemon's Mark is the fifth in Kittredge's "Nocturne City" series. The protagonist Luna Wilder was bitten and turned into a werewolf in her teens then grew up to become a tough female cop working supernatural crimes. The world that she lives in is full of supernatural creatures like magicians, selkies, trolls, and harpies. Throw in some Russian mobsters trafficking in supernatural females for the sex slave industry, and some supernatural bio-engineering and it's a suitably creepy, fun and entertaining novel. It's not badly written. It took me "away" while I read it so it was a success. I didn't mind my escape ride into Luna Wilder's world at all. I'll be on the look out for more of Caitlin Kittredge's books. I'm perching on three Talons out of four!
From her back cover photo she is young and cute and dresses just a little bit Goth.

Enjoy!
Next on my list to read: a dark supernatural novel by Yasmine Galenorn (who besides being a prolific fantasy author is also a Shamanic Witch in "real life".)
I'm an avid reader who needs to keep track of my endlessly growing reading list or I quickly forget the titles and authors as I move on to the next batch of novels. I mainly consume vast quantities of genre novels, including but not limited to speculative fiction, dark urban fantasy, horror, topics on the supernatural, magick, paganism, sci-fi, and steampunk. Happiness is a thick stack of brand new library books on the bed beside me.

TV series: True Blood, Haven, Lost Girl, Boardwalk Empire
So, "True Blood" is over until next spring/summer. Boo! *long dark sulk*
I guess I'm just going to have to make do by catching up with "Vampire Diaries", "Haven", and the new succubus/fae show "Lost Girl". The interesting thing is that "Haven" and "Lost Girl" are both Canadian made productions. I caught a glimpse of one our red Toronto streetcars in one of the scenes of the series premiere this past Sunday. Haven is shot out on the East coast.
I might give Boardwalk Empire a go as well. It's not anything supernatural, but it is about prohibition, mobsters and flappers (aka, booze, violence and sex). I'll temporarily make do with that if I can't have my supernatural fix.
