Shade Chaser (City of Crows 2)
by Clara Coulson
A wizard, a werewolf, and a watchmaker walk into a bar...and don't come out alive.Two
months after the infamous Etruscan Incident, it's back to normal for
DSI—as normal as life can be when you hunt monsters on a salary. The
rest of Nick Riker's elite team has finally returned from France. Cooper
Lee has healed from his nightmare trip to the Eververse. The remnants
of the battles with Charun and Tuchulcha have been swept under the rug.
And the exploding boathouse in Holden Park has (almost) been rebuilt.All is calm in Aurora, Michigan.Until
a grisly triple murder in one of the city's most popular bars destroys
the delicate balance between three powerful forces. A high-ranking
werewolf, a seasoned wizard, and a former mayor turned watchmaker wind
up in body bags, and their deaths pit the ICM, DSI, and Aurora's Wolf
community against each other in a blame game of epic proportions. And as
the accusations spiral out of control, threatening a supernatural war
on Aurora's streets, it's up to Riker's team to keep the peace before
blood stains the sidewalks.Meanwhile, Cal is struggling to
overcome the consequences of his trip to the Etruscan Underworld.
Haunted by visions of the future in the form of disorienting déjà vu,
he's terrified he'll fail his team at crucial moments. But with the
threat of violent riots hanging in the air, Cal has no choice but to
power through and pray for the best.Because one misstep on this case could mean the downfall of the city he loves.amazing KU
