Night Life by Caitlin Kittredge
Eh, this was not the novel I was hoping it to be. Luna Wilder and all her antics seemed very much thrown about and rushed into. Understandably with Luna being a werewolf we should expect some unpredictability and agression but that seemed to be par for this character no matter what time of the month it happens to be. As a cop she rushes unthinkingly into dangerous situations without heed to herself or others (like her sister, her boss, or her friend Dmitri).
Luna is repeatedly fired - at first for just being a smartmouth but then for getting too close to the truth (although I'm still not quite sure how that happened). As she blunders her way through the investigation she repeatedly accuses (and arrests) her suspects even though she has minimal basis for the arrest.
It seems only due to luck and the friends and acquaintances she has managed not to scare off that she is able to save the day. Both Luna and her alpha werewolf 'friend,' Dmitri, are unlikeable as heroes.
Oh and the plot... Ukrainian illegal immigrant women (mostly prostitutes) are being killed in a ritual of death to release a demon and the DA, his assistant and his son are all in on it. Frankly I feel worst for the women who had to rely on Luna to keep them safe...
