Noc City by Penn Cassidy
4.0
In this world the supernatural community go by darklings and have been out to the world for about 70yrs. However, there's still racism where theyre concerned. Areas they're not accepted, areas just for them. Humans fighting against them, and for them.
Serenity is the daughter of senator Ryan Harker who is trying to get darklings banned from the local town. He presents a wholesome, loving image to the world. He's far from it. Behind closed doors, he's cruel, evil, and a nasty piece of work.
Since discovering he's not her father a year ago and that her mother had an affair with a vampire making her a dhampire, her life has been hell. Ryan has beaten her regularly, a real threat of rape daily, and she has a boyfriend who is like a copy version of him.
After a meal with the boyfriend and father takes a turn for the worse serenity runs and is intent on jumping off a bridge until she is caught and captured.
Her captors believe what the rest of the world does. That she's the "angel of noc city". And that she has info that they need or the senator will give them in return for her safety. Which she laughs at, knowing the truth.
She's held captive even after her captors learn the truth.... But she begins to recognise them and is shocked! But she's also given a different view of living. She's on blood for the first time and the difference is unreal.
But when they come back and tell her that her best friend, cousin and 100% human Trix has been kidnapped she panics. But then the place where she is is attacked, effectively demolishing the entire building and forcing her out of there. She makes a run for it but doesn't know where she is.....
Before she knows it she hears howling.... She faces 2 unfriendly wolves.... And the last thing she sees is one leaping towards her throat.....
Gah!!! Loved this book!!! I'm trying not to give away anything so haven't named any other characters or species apart from those last 2 wolves!!! I'm on to book 2 and its starting off just as good!
