Night Blade by J.C.
Daniels
Release Date March 4,
2013
Kit Colbana is always
biting off more than she can chew. She has a knack for finding trouble. This
time, though, trouble finds her. Someone from her past drops a case into her lap
that she just can’t refuse…literally.
People on the Council are dying left and right and she’s been requested
to investigate the deaths. The
number one suspect? Her lover,
Damon. If she doesn’t clear his
name, he gets a death sentence. Even if she succeeds? They still might try to execute him. Oh, and she’s not allowed to tell
him about the case, either.
The stakes
are high this time around, higher than they’ve ever been. Kit may be forced to
pay the ultimate price to save her lover’s life…a price that could destroy her
and everything she loves.

“Dunno where you are or when you’ll get this message, but I’m
looking for you and I need to talk to you. I have a job for you and you kind of
have to take it.”
I made a face. Justin was a Banner cop now. They’d seduced
him with the promises of You get to kill things and we’ll give you lots of weapons. He liked weapons almost as much as I did.
And he liked killing things…well, when they needed killing. Justin was like a
loaded gun, a good weapon and he was most efficient when he had a
target.
“Call me, set up a
time, Kitty-kitty. Don’t make me track you down, okay? You really do have to
take this job…trust me.”
I sighed and rubbed
the back of my neck.
Trust him. That was a
problem. I did trust Justin. There weren’t a lot of people I was willing to
say that about but he was definitely one of them.
The message ended and
I sat there, staring at nothing.
I trusted him, but I
sure as hell didn’t want to take any job that he might have to
offer.
Jobs and Justin meant one thing. A connection to the Banner
unit. The Banner units
were exterminators. Non-human exterminators. Banner cops, slang for the Bureau of American Non-Human
Affairs–were basically men and women like Justin, highly skilled, very deadly
human who went out and eliminated the NHs who had been deemed too deadly to
live. Generally, they didn’t get to play much because us non-humans patrolled our own. That was the job the packs,
the clans, the order of witches and theAssembly in general. But sometimes there were those who
slipped past the ever-watchful eyes of the Assembly.
Sometimes there were those the Assembly turned a blind
eye to and the Banner cops stepped up to the
plate.
If Justin was calling
me, it was entirely likely that he wanted my help in tracking somebody
down.
Damn it all to
hell.
A
little about JC:
J.C. Daniels is the alter ego of author Shiloh Walker and was
created basically because Shiloh writes like a hyperactive bunny and an
intervention was necessary. J.C. is the intervention. The name… J.C. Daniels
is a play
off of the three people
who pretty much run Shiloh’s life.
J.C./Shiloh Walker has been writing since she was a kid. She
fell in love with vampires with the book Bunnicula and has worked her way up to the more…ah…serious works of
fiction. She loves reading and writing just about every kind of romance. Once
upon a time she worked as a nurse, but now she writes full time and lives with
her family in the Midwest. She writes urban fantasy, romantic suspense and
paranormal romance, among other things.
