Savage appetites and opulent vices are a way of life in Crescent City, a metropolis split among werewolves and humans. As one of its most beautiful socialites, Cora Marshall thrives on scandals and the attention they bring. Yet even she is stunned by her father's murder... and by becoming the prime suspect for it.

Determined to prove her innocence, Cora hires Detective Sam Hayes, an irresistibly handsome werewolf with as many secrets to his name as she has to hers. To uncover the truth, they must trust each other with everything--especially now that the real killer hunts them throughout the city.

The Blood Moon by sylviaNgould

It's been three months since Delilah "Del" Cross stumbled her way into the mysterious town of Whisper Valley. During that time she's grown to appreciate her new life amongst ghosts, vampires, mages, zombies, and werewolves. Yet, there's still so much she doesn't know. Particularly when it comes to werewolves, which is surprising considering her close relationship with the town's alpha, Everett Hathaway. Del hopes Everett will go as her date to a lavish wedding during the town's Blood Moon Festival. However, with the arrival of a visiting pack, her plans are disrupted and she's left alone during the festivities of the town's festival. She must navigate the loud parties, dark rituals, and horrifying surprises of the night, all of which will challenge everything she knows about herself and those she's grown to love. When the dust settles and the town awakens the following morning, Del doesn't have time to recover from the painful realizations of the night. A murder has been committed and she finds herself at the top of the suspect list. *** Mature Rating: Explicit Sexual Content *** This is the third book in the Delilah Cross series and it is not a standalone novel.

Shift | Complete ✔️ by TheSanguineSongbird

• Completed • • Highest Ranking • #6 Werewolf February 2022 • Awards • 1st Place Paranormal Category: Splendiferous Awards May 2021 • Summary • A story of belonging, family and love, Edie Cohen goes on a journey of self-discovery to find out who she really is. Edie thinks she is human. She has never been told otherwise. Not by the elderly aunt who raised her, and not by anyone else. But it isn't until her aunt passes away from illness that Edie learns that there is far more to the bedtime stories she was told as a child... Guided only by the notes her aunt left behind and her questionable instincts, Edie finds herself thrust into the middle of supernatural conflict that leaves her questioning everything she has ever known. Soon Edie learns that her mother was a werewolf, and her father a human, neither able to give her the guidance and answers she desperately needs after they were murdered for their unconscionable union between species. Fiercely determined and independent, her journey lands her into the arms of her mate, a dark and moody Phelan Reyes. Unbeknownst to Edie, he has always been watching her from afar, protecting her from those who seek to exploit her hybridity. When she finds her way to him, Phelan cannot mark Edie to protect her. The process is toxic for humans, so there is no mind-link. No capacity for her to shift. And no way to protect her. Her hybridity is unheard of- and Phelan has to fight his own internal battles to make her his due to the risks involved. Add in a human ex-boyfriend who is determined to find her, and the werewolf council The Guild who will stop at nothing to ensure her mutation is ended once and for all, Edie finds herself on an adventure that is far more than she ever bargained for... Mature language, themes and scenes.
