Professor Theo Cray is trained to see patterns where others see chaos. So when mutilated bodies found deep in the Montana woods leave the cops searching blindly for clues, Theo sees something they missed. Something unnatural. Something only he can stop. As a computational biologist, Theo is more familiar with digital code and microbes than the dark arts of forensic sleuthing.

there were some details I had issue with but most wouldn't know better and on reflection I realized they might have been deliberate which would make this author an ethical person.
I did enjoy the story and characters, and the mystery element worked. From the outside the reader knows what the killer is, but who remains a logical mystery to near the end. I am impressed.

G'day. I'm still here. Still Pet. Well, I'm only two thirds of a Pet these days, but you might as well call me Pet anyway. Everyone does: everyone but the vampire, that is. Life is more unbalanced these days - cases are cutting closer to home than usual. I thought I was the only one, but there are others like me: kids whose parents were murdered just like mine. Stuff that never fit into place before is beginning fall into place.

G'day. I'm Pet. Not, not Pet - I am a pet. Well, I was a pet: I used to belong to two fae and a stroppy vampire. Now I'm homeless. I mean, I was always technically homeless, but this time it's different. I just got used to having some kind of family, and now we're back to everyone wanting to kill each other - and guess who the weak link is? I'll give you a hint: it's not the vampire, and it's sure as heck not the fae.

everything I've come to expect from this series
Reviewed: 03-09-21
I'm writing this on the chance a fan is contemplating the audiobook. If that's the case, treat yourself! You already know what to expect from the author, and the performance does it justice!
If you are new to the series, start with 'Storm Front', and I envy you the pleasure of experiencing these tales for the first time! I will warn you that JB doesn't write fluff. His hero tries hard and makes mistakes like a real person. He goes through some dark times, but he stands up for what and who he believes in and comes through in the end. This series is one that, despite being fantasy, gives me hope.
Enjoy!

I've been waiting so long for this audio book, and it's awesome!
If you're new to the story, note you will take a while to figure out what's happening because the POV character takes a while to figure it out. It's totally worth the effort!

But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets. This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.
