The fae live among us. And one of them is a serial killer.
I thought this would be a simple profiling case. Just another Jack-the-Ripper wannabe, prowling London’s streets, searching for easy kills. I was wrong. This killer is fae, and he’s as elusive as smoke on the wind. But I’m an FBI profiler, and it’s my job to track him down.
It doesn’t matter that one of the main suspects--a lethally alluring fae--is trying to seduce me… or kill me, I’m not sure which. I won’t be stopped, not even when panic roils through the streets of London, or when the police start to suspect me.
As I close in on the killer, I follow him to a magical shadow realm that’s like nothing I ever expected, where I’m hunted like prey. Fine. Bring it on. I’m an FBI Agent. And it turns out I have magical powers of my own.

This book reminds me why I love urban fantasy so much. A stand-out heroine who is badass in her own way without 100% relying on masculine tropes. A love interest who has many secrets (but did he hire guys to beat Cassandra up?? I'm not on board for this romance if he did!) and supporting characters who are pretty great. Plus, the world is super interesting and different to most fae realms (lush, dangerous opulence instead of that OTT weirdness of other books) and I ADORE that it was set in my fave city, London, and wound history so well through the book.
Other stuff that were awesome: interesting, non-predictable mystery (I guessed the wrong guy!), murder solving wound so well with fae otherworldliness and a darker plot, a female MC with agency, and promise of more complicated events for later books.
Awesome, dark, and deadly. I love the world of Dark Fae FBI.
