Summary
They live among us. Hiding in plain sight. Until now....
West London has always been known as the quieter part of the city. That's true...for a human. But in reality, the streets are home to those that rule over the supernatural world.
Werewolves have their gated communities. Vampires reside within a subterranean utopia. And the magic-wielding wizards, witches, and warlocks study their arts right under the noses of general public. It has always been that way, and because of this, there has always been peace.
But when a rare blue moon settles in the sky, everything changes.
Noir, a West London information broker with his fingers in every supernatural pie, sets out to discover what the blue moon means and finds something beyond belief. With his discovery, comes the realization of a prophecy that spells disaster for the supernatural world.
He must do everything in his power to stop the actualization of this dark future that might mean the end for the peace between species that keeps his world intact.
Magic, secrets, and unexpected twists will keep you on the edge of your seat in this supernatural urban fantasy debut. It's perfect for fans of Rivers of London, The Magicians, and American Gods.

A dark but great adventure
I love stories based on this type of concept of darkness and supernatural. One of the main aspects I did enjoy is how the author brings a new twist on how different types of monster based families can come together and focus towards a group goal. I can honestly recommend this book and can not wait for the next one.

Good storyline
I was given a free code and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Whilst I enjoyed the storyline and characters and loved Hannibals narration there a few things I did not like.
One being the stereo typing of certain things the main one that comes to mind is “Just like a single mother on benefits loves leopard print” 😡 there is no need to add these types of things in a book like this and for this I can’t give 5 stars

Interesting Supernatural
Firstly, I have to say the narration by Hannibal Hills was fab and really brought this book to life.
D Thomas has created an intricate tale with supernatural beings threading through London.
Noir (main character) sees a blue moon which indicates the prophecy of dark times is about to begin.
For fans of modern fantasies, with interesting characters and an intricate storyline lots to hold your interest.
