About this ebook
Someone, or something, is setting fire to the homes of the city's most infamous non-humans, racking up a body count that's growing by the day. And strange, otherworldly creatures no one has seen before—selkies trolls and harpies—are causing chaos throughout the city. Racing to stop the carnage, Luna turns to sexy federal agent Will Fagin for help. As they work to uncover the source of the bloodshed, Luna's attraction for Will deepens. But just as she learns Will's darkest secret, Nocturne City is thrust into total chaos—leaving Luna and Will in a path of destruction they may not be able to stop…or survive.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5These are getting better, I think. The writing and story was more interesting, and Luna is showing real growth as a character.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Arson, a flayed antiquities dealer and a shipping crate... it's not much, but it's all Luna's got to make a case, and if she wants to save Nocturne City's fledgling Supernatural Crimes Squad she not only has to make the case, she has to break it. Her squad's new, her superiors mainly assume she's going to fail, her cousin's dating her former boss, an irritating - and immortal - ATF agent is dogging her heels and a criminally attractive (and just plain criminal) Wendigo is shadowing her; Luna's life is very complicated. Makes for good reading, though.Note to self: must go back and read books 2 and 3, because somehow I missed a bunch of good stuff!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Something like a marriage of Ghostbusters and the Laurell K. Hamilton Anita Blake books, this book/series will certainly have its fans...for me, though, it left much to be desired...like originality, focus, and likability (in respect to characters).Simply, it was just a bit over-the-top. The characters weren't all that fleshed out, and weren't always believable even for what they were. The heroine, especially, was a problem--always tough-as-nails or weak and vulnerable...as demanded by circumstance and/or the men who happened to be around to rescue her. And, I admit, she was also a problem because I am a fan of Laurell K. Hamilton's work--Kittredge followed far too closely in her mold for my taste, with a strong female character (of the exact same mold as Anita Blake, but less likable) torn between two supernatural (and supernaturally goodlooking, of course) men, both of whom adore her for no clear reason.In other words, this story is set in the exact mold of the Anita Blake books. And, like the Blake books, I admit, the story is a page-turner, and it may even appeal to a wider audience since the story has been taken down to a PG rating instead of Hamilton's R-X rating of late. But, the humor is too much, and the characters aren't fully thought out.Honestly, I haven't a clue whether I'll pick up more of Kittredge's work or not. It was a nice easy distraction, but the writing was enough of an annoyance that I'd probably pick up another paperback first, unless this was far marked down in price. If Kittredge had had a more focused story-line, taking on less, or worked less in the footsteps/mold of Hamilton, I might be more likely to try her again, but as is, I'm hesitant to call this book much more than a poor reader's rip-off of the Anita Blak vampire hunter series. If you're a reader who's fed-up with the sex in Hamilton's work, you might try Kittredge...but I'm afraid you'll find all new annoyances that are far less well-written.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I really liked the first book in this series but have been a little disappointed by the subsequent ones. The first book was dark and gritty, with a strong, emotionally dysfunctional heroine who dealt with characters that challenged her worldview. In Witch Craft, Luna Wilder is still a strong, slightly emotionally dysfunctional heroine, but none of the other characters can challenge her in any interesting way. She's slowly getting nicer, but with sort of a flat fizzle. Witch Craft did sort of...more I really liked the first book in this series but have been a little disappointed by the subsequent ones.

Luna's two love interests are frankly not very interesting.
