Very good read - a paranormal page turner with an action plot. Romantic suspense/urban fantasy with a serial murderer plot and there are some unexpected twists before the murderer is finally revealed. The heroine Dr. Emily Drake, the so-called Monster Doctor, is drawn into a serial murder case - first to identify the paranormal elements of the case and then as the profiler on the murderer. The hero is Colin, a cop who tries fiercely to deny his werewolf nature and is appalled to find that Emily can easily 'see' that he is a shifter of some sort is assigned to the case. And his wild attraction to her makes it difficult to do his job... The situation is further complicated by his human partner who needs to be kept in the dark about the paranormal elements of the case.

I liked the humor - you've got to admit that a vampire who is afraid of blood has a REAL problem - and I liked the way the relationship unfolded between the hero/heroine. At the start she fears werewolves and he fears his own nature and exposure. Through the story they find commonality to build on. They are both outsiders - she by virtue of her powers to see and read the Others - he by growing up totally outside the community of the Others. She grows to trust him and he grows to trust her...

I liked it well enough to order the next two books from Amazon...
