Luna Wilder has stepped in it again! Now that Luna has been promoted to lieutenant of her very own squad, she is trying to focus on being the boss, while trying to keep her predatory were half under control. Unfortunately for Luna, her usual behavior of running off half-cocked is not going to help protect Nocturne City from the Blood witches, murderous pyromaniacs and very ravenous netherworld creatures that are invading her city.

Luna is back and the crazy crimes keep coming, only this time around she is in charge of her own squad and can do what she wants. The people of the squad are an interesting mix and don't always do the things that you expect them. Sunny seems to start to take a more active role in helping Luna.
I liked that Lucas was back. I think him and Luna are interesting together. Nothing good can happen there, but it would be fun none the less. There is also a new guy in the mix with Will, the ATF guy. I lov...more

Who knew, that the only things to make this book WAY better than the previous three are to get rid of Dmitri (THANK YOU CAITLIN!) and to give Luna her own squad that she can control. Seriously, this book wins over the previous three. I love it and I don't have any inclination to kill Luna in every chapter because she's being a high tempered bitch.

I really enjoyed this book, but for some reason can't make myself give it 5 stars. I really don't have any major complaints about it-it was well-written, held my interest the entire time, and I liked the flow of action and the plot. I like Luna (although I think it's kind of cheeseballs to name a werewolf Luna Wilder.) The only thing I didn't like was that I had a hard time figuring out who all of her co-workers were and attributing to them what they were supposed to be like. Some of that comes...more

I 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 rem...more
Although I enjoyed this book, I found it harder going than the previous book in this series. I didn't like Will and felt there was not enough sexual tension between Luna and him to make me believe a relationship was coming, or would work. Now Lucas is a different matter that is a relationship I could see working despite the hurdles, like him being a fugitive.

This is the fourth book in the series. Luna Wilder is a homicide detective and a lone werewolf. Someone is setting fires killing people in the process. It looks like witch craft but how could one person be behind it all. Luna and her team have to solve the case before they get shut down for good. And now someone has Luna in their sights and they are determined to see her dead.

This book was good enough to keep me interested in this urban fantasy series, but I keep getting the feeling that the writing has holes in it. I'm not in love with this series, so I spread out reading the first 4 books over quite a bit of time, and worst, I read the 3rd book before the 2nd one, which was confusing, but I still get the feeling that I'm missing something. I even went to the author's website to see if there are short stories in between the books that fill in the gaps. Doesn't look...more
This book was a lot better than the previous in the series. I felt Luna was acting more like herself in this one. She has her own squad, and she's a Liutenant. The other police task forces don't like her, and they don't like her squad, so as usual Luna is at a disadvantage. She is told by the higher ups, that if the squad doesn't start closing more cases they will be shut down.

When Witch Craft opens, Luna is now the head of the SCS (Supernatural Crimes Squad), a new division in Nocturne City’s police department. The SCS is created to look into cases that aren't human related – weres, witches and the rest of the supernatural population. The big-wigs are expecting results ASAP! And if Luna and her team don’t deliver then they will all be out of a job.

Unfortunately, I came in on this book of this series, and there was an awful lot of back story I wasn't quite understanding. I think though, had I read earlier books, I would have thought this was pretty fun. Luna is (*shock*, with that name) a werewolf. She comes from a bunch of witches, deals in demons, and has a chip on her shoulder as big as Arkansas. Hell is literally going to be set loose in Nocturne City, unless she and her special crime division can stop it.
This is the fourth adventure of Nocturne Series featuring Luna Wilder.
I have to say that this fourth book really is better than the previous one. The third book was just sad to read.
But this one was actually a good read. So, in this book Luna Wilder is Lieutenant of SCS - Supernatural Crimes Squad, I think that's it.
There isn't anything new. Luna catches another case, her life is threatened a thousand times and sometime in between she meets another guy.

Overall, I thought it was better than the last one. Maybe the best in the series. My only complaint was when she got all police brutality on Talon. The author did make her feel bad about doing it. But it was still wrong. It was an ends justifies the means scene and it doesn't fit with our heroine, flawed as she is.
Wow, I am utterly shocked that our heroine have actually grown up a bit. Luna has her own task force where she heads up the Supernatural Crimes Squad for Nocturne City. For someone who has major issues she needs all the help of she can get. Luna has the aid of an AFT agent, Will — their banter cracks me up. And even Sunny has started helping Luna out with her knowledge, I am so overjoyed with her relationship with Mac.

Actually I would give Witch Craft 3,5 stars, if I could. I liked it better than the previous one, but not enough for 4 stars. If I liked Luna better I would have enjoyed the book more, but she continues to annoy me. Still, it was a nice read!

Another entertaining entry in the Nocturne City series. I enjoyed seeing the changes in Luna as she now heads her own department. My frustration with her in Second Skin was gone, as Dimitri is no longer around, her attempts to sabotage their relationship having succeeded.
It was a pleasant surprise to see Lucas return with a fairly substantial role. He was very intriguing in the last book and even more so here.
Will was a wonderful addition, bringing a nice balance to Luna and some comic relief.

This book felt disjointed to me. I wasn't convinced about a lot of things that happened in terms of actions and reactions. The action scenes were clunky. And Luna was basically threatening, yelling, trying to intimidate people through the whole book only to be told she's a good person and does what she has to do to get the job done.
I have enjoyed this whole series, Luna is a strong protagonist and even if she makes some ill advised decisions she remains true to herself and her values. The problems don't solve themselves and her struggle with her wolf and her humanity grounds her as a character.

Near alternate world. Heroine, Luna Wilder is a police officer (previously homocide now Lt. Wilder in charge of a supernatural crimes unit and a werewolf herself.
Swear words are Hexed this that and the other.
Interesting and gritty, several men, but Luna isn't moving forward with any of those relationships. She has a sister who she has a pretty good relationship, who lives with their grandmother (both of them witches) who violently disapproves of Luna's life choices.

Loved this series! I didn't want to put it down til I was done, hahaha. Love the fact that she has her own department, and the men she has working for her, keeps her on her toes. Great book.
I just read that there are only 5 books in this series. With the way it is growing on me, I can't imagine not reading about these characters over and over!!! I need more!!!

I enjoyed this. I liked it well enough to look in my library for the rest of this series but they did not have any more. darn.
This is the book I read first and now I'm going back an reading the previous ones.
Not quite what I expected but I thought this one was much better than the previous book. Something was off about the third book, I don't know why, but I didn't like it as much. This one was a lot better. It was fresh, and had some good surprises that I didn't see coming and an interesting mystery in the new character agent, Will Fagen and I'm interested in seeing how that relationship between him and Luna plays out. Overall, I thought this was a great book and a great addition to the series. Kud...more
Formulaic, but readable. Enough to make me hunt out some of the others in the series.

Her epic dark fantasy (thankfully) never saw the light of day but while she was struggling with elves and sorcerers she got the i...more
