About this ebook
As an investigative journalist, Merci Lanard always gets her story but she doesn't always get the truth she wants.
After discovering her mother passed along a demon lineage, Merci goes to her mother’s active retirement community to ask the tough questions about their blood, their power, and the truth about her father’s death.
Instead of answers, she is gifted a dead body and a plea to find out what happened. Since Philly is peaceful and things aren’t exactly perfect with Rafe, she stays in New Haven to hunt down a killer and answers about herself.
Navigating wakes and themed parties, Merci finds herself at home with drug rings and a conniving political arena threatening her mother’s community of Wanderers. But as another body puts Merci in jail, she needs to draw on her own community to help- Rafe.
As she fully realizes the power of what her mother has built and the dark side of that, she finds the truth behind the killings, the truth about family, and the truth about the real power of her blood.
Editor's Note
More Mystery...
In the second “Merci Lanard” book, Merci is determined to use her investigative journalism skills to track down the truth about her demon lineage. “The Truth About Night” introduced her to a shifter community, and all the secrets contained therein; this second book dives deeper, exploring what it means to be part of a community, working through the trauma of newly discovered secrets. Merci is a bold, plain-spoken protagonist whose dogged determination is admirable to the reader and frustrating to the people she’s trying to get information from.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Second installment in the series. I liked Merci in the first book but in this one she's just a bundle of second guessing, guilt and insecurity. She's also lost a lost of her fiestyness. The story is interesting though because we finally meet Merci's mother, who knows so, so much more than she's letting on.
Eventually Merci gets to the truth. Rafe makes an appearance as reliable side kick but not much more, which is a shame because Rafe has much more to offer than just nerdy research boyfriend.
