REVIEW
Bloody is the Night by Robin Jeffrey
The Night #2
Interesting and intriguing addition to the series ~ Shaye and Andy have their work cut out for them to stay alive and take down a rogue werewolf…if they can
What I liked: * Shaye Cassidy: human, on her own on the street for the past decade, ran from a difficult past and everything she knew, has a “gift” that is not easy to live with, rather attracted to Andy
* Andy Vazquez: werewolf, sent to track down a rogue wolf, scoops up a witness to the rogue wolf’s kill, born-werewolf, had a rough time a year ago, rather attracted to Shaye
* Caleb Beck: denless wolf, without a “family”, centuries old, lethal, strong, alone, mercenary and/or consultant, intriguing, would like to read a story about him in the future
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* The escape factor it provided today
* The Nameless den and being reminded of the part they played in the first book
* That Shaye’s “gift” proved an asset eventually
* Learning the back story of both main characters and the chemistry between them
* Being able to thoroughly dislike the rogue wolf and be happy that that thread of the story was tied off
* The billiards game and the bets placed by Shaye and Andy while playing
* Wondering what and if there will be overlap of the books in the series and if the main characters of the books will meet up at some point in the future
* Knowing that there is another book to look forward to.
* All of it really except…
What I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like
* Not knowing enough Spanish to understand all that was in the story
* Having to wait for the next book and not knowing how many books there will be in the series
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
Thank you to BookSirens and the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB
Unbeknownst to humans, the werewolves of the world live in tight knit gangs, or “dens”, for protection from outsiders – and each other. Every major metropolis has one; to belong to a den is to have a family for eternity. Shaye Cassidy, an unhoused human woman scraping by on the streets of Los Angeles, hasn’t had anything close to a family in over ten years. Shaye left her home under a cloud to chase the dream of a new start, a dream that quickly turned into a nightmare; a nightmare that grows even more twisted when Shaye witnesses a werewolf killing a fellow unhoused man. Andy Vasquez is a top member of Sangre Sagrada, second only to the den leader herself. When she tasks him with tracking down a werewolf gone rogue, someone who is killing humans for sport and risking the exposure of their world, Andy dedicates all his resources to the task. He couldn’t have predicted that the key to uncovering the identity of the rogue wolf would be a human woman, any more than he could have predicted that he would fall in love with her. Now, Andy must protect Shaye not just from the rogue wolf, but also from those within his den who wish she would disappear. Shaye has her own secrets, however, and in the city of angels, everyone has a devilish side.
