The Crane Diaries Apryl Baker

Deep in the bayou is a place so dark even nightmares tremble in fear. It has been whispered about for a century, and even the hunters of New Orleans don't trek into the shadows of Madame's island, a Necromancer more feared than any other. But all that is about to change. A hunter has gone missing. Cass Willow calls in Emma Rose Crane, AKA Mattie Hathaway, to help him investigate the disappearance of his best friend, Alice, but they discover more than a missing hunter. There are eleven other women who have vanished. Alice tracked the disappearances to a bar, but more importantly, to one man. Emma and Cass trace her footsteps and land right in the heart of shifters who don't like Cranes any more than the rest of the bayou. Through a little investigation and more than a few threats, they discover the name of the man who took the other women. Kristoff. Madame's first child, as she called her vampires. Now that Madame is gone, Kristoff has taken over the island. Cass and Emma must not only breach the island, but also deal with the onslaught of questions about themselves the shifter bar revealed. But will they be too late to save Alice?
