The Winter Solstice: A Cassandra Blake Mystery

Liz Reeder Romance

Seattle police detective Cassandra “Cassie” Blake is in a difficult position. Cassie is a werewolf who straddles the line between the human and supernatural worlds. While being a werewolf aids in her job as a police officer, hiding what she is makes it difficult to have friends and a social life with the humans around her.
Cassie dreads her annual trip back home to Bloodstone, Washington, for her birthday. It falls on the winter solstice, and the town holds a festival to honor the Moon Goddess Selene, the mother of werewolves. It also means that everyone, including her family, largely overlooks her birthday. The one exception is her best friend, Malekai Stone, the town mayor and pack Alpha. Seeing him is the bright spot of her trip, as always.
Unfortunately, Cassie’s trip home does not go as planned. The night of the festival, a local girl is killed, leading Cassie to oversee the investigation. She calls in a favor and asks her friend, Jackson Davis, to come to Bloodstone and assist. This is a risky decision because Jackson is human and has no knowledge of werewolves. Cassie and Malekai must explain what they are for him to stay and help solve the crime.
Things get even more complicated for Cassie when she finds her mate in her hometown. He is not what she had ever expected. All because of a magic spell cast years earlier in an act of love.

This book was originally written to be in print, not on an app. Due to this, some chapters were too long to be published here and have been split. Most have been split at the existing paragraph breaks that fell in the chapters, but a few are not. This has led to the unusual numbering of the chapters. Please remember this as you read.
