Story
Three weeks after the events of Nightshades, things are finally beginning to settle for the Chicago branch of the BPI, but the brief respite from the horror of the previous few weeks was never destined to last. The team gets a call from Switch Creek, WI, where a young man has been arrested on suspicion of being a shade. The suspect is held overnight, pending DNA testing, but seemingly escapes in a terrifying and bloody massacre. But is there more to the jailbreak than a simple quest for freedom?

It's up to McKenna, and some unlikely allies, to get to the bottom of the problem, and find the kids before it's too late.

To make matters worse, Scarlett’s employers discover that a newly changed werewolf is running amok in the city. To catch the rogue werewolf, Scarlett will need help from both Eli and Detective Jesse Cruz of the LAPD…a situation that will force her to finally choose between them.

Story
When LA’s vampires, witches, and werewolves make a mess, they call Scarlett Bernard to clean it up. Her ability as a null erases all magical traces from anything — or anyone — that comes within ten feet of her, and keeps humans in the dark about the city’s paranormal activity. One night when she’s called to a grisly crime scene, Scarlett is spied by the all-too-human LAPD cop Jesse Cruz, who strikes up a deal with her: he’ll keep quiet about the supernatural underworld if she helps him crack the case. She agrees, but the city’s chief vampire, Dash, starts to suspect Scarlett is behind the murders and will reveal all she knows of his shadowy empire. Now it’ll take more than Scarlett’s unique abilities to clear her name, keep the underworld underground, and track down the real killer.

Short and to the point with actions and emotions
I didn't know what to expect from this series but found myself enjoying it. Sad certain characters died, and understood why one had to die. Narration was spot on by Luke Daniels. He does a great job flipping between male and female characters. Anywho, excellent conclusion to trilogy I was originally skeptical when I made my purchase.

Disappointed
I feel, all three books should of been one book. Paying for all three separately at full pics is a bit of a ripoff. Very disappointed! Loved all Melissa. Olson’s book. I’ve now read them all. Only theses three have been a let down. More of scarlet please.
