‘Werewolf Descent” picks up after “Vampyre Kisses.” In this tale, Faith Scott, who is also the last witch in the world, is trying to discover who is killing off werewolves from Zou Tai’s pack.  It appears that an alchemist’s magic is at work in these attacks.  Faith relies on the help of her other paranormal friends to help her solve this mystery. In doing so, she puts her own life and relationship in jeopardy.

Faith is madly in love with Trent, who is also a vampire.  Otherworldly creatures, who get involved with trying to stop the killings, also help complicate Faith’s relationship.  First of all, she goes to a vampire slayer, who also happens to be an old family friend, to get information. This does not make her vampire boyfriend happy.  Then Vincent, a psychic vampire, becomes involved. Vincent has a serious attraction towards Faith. She is also attracted to him, but frequently reminds herself that Trent is her true love.  Adding more to the excitement, there is also great deal of deception and magic involved in with what is happening around them. At the heart of the matter is a manipulative god who feels that it is in Faith’s best interest not to get what she wants.
           
“Werewolf Descent” is an incredibly imaginative, well-written novel. I enjoyed being introduced to new types of paranormal creatures including the psychic vampire. I also really loved Faith’s touching relationship with her magical flying cat Oran.  The variety of paranormal elements, included mythology, make this book an interesting and unique find.  Even though this the second book in the series, I feel that the author did an excellent job of filling in information about the past events and characters, so that new readers will find it stands well on its own.  Fans of paranormal adventures will be delighted to discover this series.
