Skin Deep

Wraiths are possessing innocent humans, a bloodthirsty killer stalks paranormals on the streets of Chicago, and a magical drug is drawing the city's shifter youth into a deadly addiction…not Kai's idea of a good time. Kailin Odel's day job is as a drug rehab counselor, but at night she prowls Chicago's streets, hunting blood-sucking wraiths who take possession of innocent humans. She also happens to be skillfully avoiding her panther Alpha responsibilities for as long as her Alpha humors her. But when the corpse of a cougar shifter lands at her feet—literally—Kai becomes the killer's next target. Unfortunately for them, they chose to shoot an Alpha shifter—not a smart move if you want to keep breathing. Unfortunately for Kai, she draws a bullseye on her own back when she refuses to play dead little kitty. Kai reaches out to the Chicago Alphas and finds corralling a bunch of reluctant macho shifters into the investigation hard enough, but when the trail she follows leads to a supernatural drug, mortally addictive to shifters, and a mysterious abduction of a young werewolf shifter, it also brings her too close to secrets Kai herself would not want to uncover. And too close to the Omega Agency investigation on the killings. Agent Logan Westin is human, easy on the eyes, and a danger to himself. But his Titan partner could be of help. Immortals have contacts, right? Then someone sends her a terrible message, a warning to stop digging. But a threat to her people is a threat she does not take lightly, and Kai enlists the help of her powerful fae, psychic and witch contacts. She is hell-bent on finding the killer before he strikes again. But time is against her. With the lives of her clans endangered, the secrecy of the supernatural community in the EarthWorld at risk, and the very existence of her species in jeopardy, Kai had better move at shifter speed to catch the killer. The DarkWorld SkinWalker Series will take you on a high-stakes supernatural ride filled with magic, suspense and otherworldly creatures.
