  <default_description>Among them is Luna Wilder, a tough-as-nails police officer whose job is to keep the peace. As an Insoli werewolf, Luna travels without a pack and must rely on instinct alone. And she&amp;#8217;s just been assigned to find the ruthless killer behind a string of ritualistic murders&amp;#8212;a killer with ties to an escaped demon found only in legend&amp;#8230;until now.&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But when she investigates prime suspect Dmitri Sandovsky, she can&amp;#8217;t resist his wolfish charms. Pack leader of a dangerous clan of Redbacks, Dmitri sends her animal instincts into overdrive and threatens her fiercely-guarded independence. But Luna and Dmitri will need to rely on each other as they&amp;#8217;re plunged into an ancient demon underworld and pitted against an expert black magician with the power to enslave them for eternity&amp;#8230;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[You can't swing a stick in urban fantasy without hitting a book with werewolves in it, all of whom will snarl at you and pitch you out the window along with said stick before you can say &quot;fetch&quot;. That said, at least so far as I've been able to tell, books where the heroine is a were are st...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25378183">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting story and characters, though not especially new to the genre. Kittredge certainly has a unique voice. One that uses words like &quot;dickhead&quot; and &quot;butthead,&quot; which I found bizarre and strangely out of place in a dark fantasy novel. The words appeared only once each, towar...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17800410">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's nothing special, and you won't miss anything if you give it a pass.  On the other hand, if you have a copy and an afternoon to kill it's probably more entertaining than most anything you'd find on television.

    <body><![CDATA[This book started out strong for me and I really wanted to love it but it just didn't happen. The overall story was good and for the most part I liked Luna. So I really can't pinpoint a reason why it didn't grab me. There were several editing errors that I think should have been easy to spot and cor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67586516">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this first book was pretty good.  It had a nice set up.  It was inventive and had a much different werewolf world than any I have read before.  It is dark and a bit poverty stricken.  But the character is a scrappy cop and has backbone.  The love interest is not all warm and sexy, but is r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71930202">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After skimming some mixed reviews at Amazon, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Night Life. I thought that Luna was a great character; she had the perfect blend of good and bad personality traits, without being a complete b!tch or too perfect, as some urban fantasy heroines can be.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was just ok. I didn't really like the heroine, or the &quot;hero&quot; for that matter. It also didn't explain a lot of things from the past, just gave you glimpses, but I didn't like the book enough to read any of the others to see if the pieces ever get filled in.  <br/><br/>I really l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69816895">more...</a>]]></body>
