About this ebook

The disease has teeth…but the cure could be deadly.

As Investigator for the Lycanthrope Council, Gabriel McCord went above and beyond his official title to keep werewolf kind out of the public eye. Now he has a new challenge as the liaison to the Institute for Lycanthrope Reversal, advocating for humans turned werewolf against their will.

The Institute’s controversial “treatment” is nonetheless generally accepted – until one of the project’s scientists is found murdered at his desk.

The suspect list is long: purists who believe lycanthropism is a non-returnable gift; wolf-borns who want the cure for their own; and the ethereal Selene Rial, an Institute psychologist who’s lost her most precious possession to a secret society dedicated to the annihilation of werewolves.

If Gabriel fails to solve this case, the fragile peace between wizards and lycanthropes could shatter, and his friends’ lives could be ruined. But even if he succeeds, he has to face the consequences of his heart being pulled in a dangerous direction – a woman whose secrets could destroy them both.

Blood’s Shadow is the third book in the Lycanthropy Files, an urban fantasy series with the bite of a medical thriller. Each book is written to be read as a standalone, but you’ll get a fuller experience if you read them in order. If you like hair-raising mysteries, complex characters, and stories that blend science and magic, then you'll love being transported with these transfixing tales.

Ratings and reviews

This is a bit different. The 3rd book in the Lycanthrope series, told from the males point of view. I'm not sure how I feel about it, to be honest. I grew up, the only female, in an all male neighborhood, so I guess I expected a bit more testosterone. I still enjoyed the book, but I think it could have been.... Better?!?!? Can't quite put my finger on it. Read it for yourself, it does explain a lot, all the way up to the end. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Blood's Shadow (Lycanthropy Files Book 3) is one of those books you do not want to put down! From page one, you are swept into a gruesome murder mystery, the paranormal type of murder. As with the other two books in the series, The Wolf's Shadow and Long Shadows, the characters are amazingly believable and intriguing. Their paranormal gifts are not what we typically encounter with shifters, wizards, ghosts, the fae, and halflings. There are many surprises in this storyline that keep you guessing what might come next and who really "done it." As the Investigator for the Council, Gabriel has his work cut out for him in this one. He is battling ancient magic and myths from childhood fairytales. He does not know whom to trust but knows he cannot catch this killer solo. Not only does his life depend on it, but the lives of all lycanthropes are also on the line, and he could lose those that he cares for the most. This book is a page-turner with high drama, intrigue, mystery, shocking twists, paranormal action, and romance! I can hardly wait for more from this series.
