Title: Nightshades
Author: Melissa F.
Olson
Synopsis: “Alex
McKenna is the new Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago office of the Bureau
of Paranormal Investigations—the division tasked with investigating crimes
involving shades.
“Or vampires, as they’re more
widely known.
“Children have been going
missing, and agents are routinely being slaughtered. It’s up to McKenna, and
some unlikely allies, to get to the bottom of the problem, and find the kids
before it’s too late.”
Review: A
fantastic beginning to what I hope is a new series.
Nightshades introduces us to a world in which vampires exist among
humans, a fact which has only fairly recently been revealed to the wary
humans. The Bureau of Paranormal
Investigations has been created to deal with vampire (or shade as they are
called) crime. The story follows new
agent Alex McKenna as he investigates a series of disappearances and
murder. While rather short, it’s really
a novella not a novel, Nightshades introduces readers to what has the
possibility to be a deep and well thought out new world. My hope is that future novels in this series
will be longer and give the characters more depth.
