Claire Beckett and the Hunted Fortress of Blood

Crime never sleeps in Crescent City, but I wish murder would take a day off.Two weeks ago, I was a regular beat cop in Boston. Now I’m here in the city, recovering from an injury the shapeshifter gifted me when I found the girl he’d kidnapped at the end of a string of bodies he'd left throughout the city.And now tensions are high among the vampire covens, leading to the death of the Onyx Mark coven leader. Evidence initially leads to the shifters, but I know better than to accuse them of anything without a solid connection to them.But my job isn’t the only thing on my mind. Finding my best friend dead, moving to a new town, and coming to grips with living in a paranormal world are just a few. And despite my attempts to find the woman who claims to have grown up with my mother, she might as well be a ghost at this point. The one person keeping me grounded is Heath, Mayor of the city and my new protector. But can he keep me safe from a vampire bite? Or are things about to get bloody?
