About this listen
Alex McKenna is the new Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago office of the Bureau of Preternatural Investigations - the division tasked with investigating crimes involving shades.
Or vampires, as they're more widely known.
Children have been going missing, and agents are routinely being slaughtered. 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.
Nightshades is a new gritty urban fantasy from Melissa F. Olson.

Good as far as it goes
This is the first novella in a trilogy, the 3 books making one story arc and the 3 together a decent 12 hour book.
My problem with this series and its a big problem is basically one book has been split into 3. This means it costs 3 times as much as it really should - either 3 credits or almost forty pounds! Its good but Its not that good.
Had the trilogy been just one book for 1 credit I would have given it 5 starts but this seems to be a bit of a money making exercise chopping whats basically 1 book into 3 instalments but charging full price for each slice.
Rant over and to actually review the book
This is basically a standard vampire story with a new FBI team with maverick agent drafted in to investigate a spate of teenage killings and disappearances - in this first part he gets his team together complete with help from a "consultant" - its all fairly standard fare but well written and well performed. This is the first phase and the initial battle.
The second book follows on and is in my opinion the best of the 3 and then continues to a fairly predictable climax in book 3 - at the risk of repeating myself - its really all one book. There is scope for a sequel but I don't know if this is planned
Luke Daniels does a pretty good job with the narration
