Witch Wolf - Winter Pennington Plot Summary: Preternatural Private Investigator and Paranormal Huntress Kassandra "Kass" Lyall is a werewolf and a witch. Ever since she was bitten and infected with the lycanthropy virus while on duty as a police officer. Her furry full-moon transitions caused her to quit the force, so she makes a living as a private investigator. In her home state of Oklahoma, Kass is called upon by the police when a case appears to have supernatural involvement. The only person that is aware of Kassandra's lycanthrope, is Rupert, a weapons expert and former assassin. This is a world where vampires are out in the open, and mostly they are accepted by the public at large. Were's, on the other hand, are not. Not even her former partner in the police Arthur Kingsfisher knows. Kass is one of two people that understands the preternatural world.When people start turning up mauled by werewolves, Kass is called in by her former boss Captain Holbrook, to investigate. She soon crosses paths with Rosalin, a member of the local werewolf pack and a close friend of Lenorre Countess Vampire of Oklahoma. Rosalin's brother Henry is missing. The wolf within is driving Kass to want to connect, both with the pack and with a potential mate. Lenorre seems to be the alpha female of her dreams, but, can a vampire and a werewolf ever truly be soulmates? Kassandra has jet-black hair with a white streak in her hair. It designates her as an Alpha wolf. She has no affliation with any pack, and she likes it that way. She also has a raven tattoo in the middle of her back, which comes into the story line when Kass get's scared out of her mind at something Lenorre does to her. She's a devotee of Goddess religion, dedicated to the Morrigan (the Celtic war-goddess.) Even though Kass is a survivor and is tough as they come, when it comes to romances, she's at a loss as to what to do. When Lenorre shows more than friendship to Kass, she feels the cocoon of safety she's built around herself being ripped apart. Her innner wolf has a mind all her own.This book is a mix of urban fantasy with police procedural/murder mystery. Given Kass' unique brand of lupine femininity and her determination to safeguard it in the male-dominated world of law enforcement, the lesbian theme slips in seamlessly. There are those reviewers who say that if you like True Blood, you're going to love Lenorre.Thoughts; I liked the premise of this book and have already picked up Raven Mask from my library. I liked that the writer showed a human side to Kass, not just what her wolf was thinking about. This, of course, appears to be the initial release of this series, thus the character building was necessary to keep readers interested in upcoming installments. This book has been labeled as a love story. In all fairness, it should fall into the PNR/F/F category. There's really only one true sex scene involved in this story. The rest is suggestive. I like the fact that Lenorre isn't a twilight vampire. She is stuck in the night, and is dead to the world once the sun comes up. I think Arthur's character might have been stuck in the story for comedy use only. He's not really an expert into the preternatural.Overall 3 stars.
