World [ ]

✥ It's roughly fifty years from now, in a earth that's just like our own, only magic is there. The dominant non-man species are shapeshifters and witches, and there are vampires. My heroine isn't any of them. ~ Interview | Scooper Speaks

✥ In this world, supernaturals take gone public and accept been living alongside humans for 50 years. So, you lot take a group called Banner, (an extermination group) that targets unsafe non humans when they pace out of line and cause problems. I'm not certain who is scarier, Kit or the Banner grouping. ~ Goodreads | Gizmo'southward

✥ There is a virus that causes lycanthropy in this world; information technology's a bang-up deal similar AIDS, in that it is spread through blood or sex (or heredity, or, of grade, a bite). Different Buss, this isn't post-apocalyptic, though, and unlike AIDS, information technology's almost likely you'll survive getting this virus. Not definite; lots of those who contract the virus die of information technology, but a per centum do go far and gain the ability to shift into a creature (wolves, rats, and various large cats are featured), benefiting from enhanced healing, speed, strength, all the usual practiced parts… ~ Goodreads reader | Tracy

Protagonist [ ]

✤ Kit Colbana is a half-brood assassin with an analogousness for swords. She is a species that about people know little to null about. She was raised by her grandmother who had trivial use for her and did nothing but tell her what a pathetic waste of space she was. Kit has left the realm where her family lives and now lives in Florida. This world has cat shifters, werewolves, vampires and wtches. ~ Rabid Reads

✥ She may exist half human but the half Aneria office of her is a tough warrior with magic. Kit's magic connects her to her sword and weapons sing to her, when in whatever kind of dangerous situation her sword will magically appear in her hand. Kit can also make herself disappear. Kit was subjected to beatings and tormented on a daily ground by her grandmother, and although Kit has survived she still suffers from reoccurring terrifying nightmares. As a tough private investigator Kit has simply one weakness—cases involving kids. And so when Damon the Cat Association of Florida's enforcer shows her a picture of a runaway child called Doyle Kit finds herself roped into finding him. ~ My keeper shelf

✥ Kitasa (Kit) Colbana is an investigator/bounty hunter who has a knack for killing things. She'south part Aneira (come across Amazon warrior) and part human. She has the ability to fade out (go invisible) and was trained to not but be an assassin, just a thief as well. She is also being chased by a vampire (Jude) thanks to request him for aid with a frail state of affairs six years before.

"My sword aim is mighty. I will not falter. I volition not neglect." Kit's mantra ~ Goodreads Reader

✥ Kit Colbana is a individual investigator in the k hard-boiled tradition. She's struggling to brand ends encounter, only refuses to take work from whatever quarter which she knows will only bring more trouble to her than do good, like the vampires. She also generally avoids were-cats, just when the case that's brought to her—by a drop-dead gorgeous shapeshifter named Damon–involves a boy, a 16-year-onetime in the throes of his get-go modify, which means he's a mess–and at present he'southward missing. She should walk abroad; the cat Alpha is crazy, and crazy plus claws is bad… but the boy needs assistance. She takes the instance.

Kit Colbana is half human, half aneira–and this is what has led to her Problems; in a earth where "non-humans"–weres and witches and vampires (and aneira) and humans are struggling to get along, being of mixed blood can take unpleasant consequences–especially when the relatives of the "non-human" half are completely intolerant of what they consider mongrels. Kit was raised by her grandmother. Blackball from your heed all the usual connotations "raised" and "grandmother" ordinarily have, and you'll start to go why Kit is damaged. It's realistically, wrenchingly, portrayed: what Kit has survived is a part of her that she does not cull to share or dwell on, but when it comes out in $.25 and fragments it is never played for the sympathy of the reader. It happened. It still affects her. Pity her at your own peril. ~ Goodreads reader | Tracy

✥ It'south nigh a heroine who isn't even half as strong equally the people around her–she has a foul oral fissure, a sharp sword and when she's pissed or scared, her first instinct is to poke at everything around her with something sharp. ~ Under Covers, Interview

✥ Kit is a combination of strength and vulnerability. Her apply of blowing to mask a lifetime of pain. It makes her a realistic and relatable heroine. Survival becomes Kit'due south daily goal. Kit'due south unimaginable history of torture is fodder for the PTSD that she experiences. She is a woman navigating through the emotional repercussions of trauma (keeping in mind that her recent trauma probable brought back pain and memories of her torture at the hands of her family unit years ago). Kit is definitely a badass. She'due south potent, intelligent, and resourceful with a past that would cripple a bottom person. ~ Literary Escapism: Interview

Notes [ ]

This series is cocky-published.

Well, the Colbana books aren't romance. If any of my readers choice upwardly BLADE Vocal and wait it to be like my paranormal romances, they might exist in for a disappointment. Information technology's got the action that many of my paranormal books do, but my paranormal romances tend to be focused on the activeness and the romance…that's non the case with Kit's series. At that place is a romantic subplot, but that'south merely a thread of her story and in that location'south no overnice, neat niggling bow at the end. ~ Blood Rose Books: Blogoversary: J. C. Daniels Interview
