Moonshadow by Thea Harrison
4.0

A spinoff to the Elder Races. This start to a new series was good. The first couple of chapters set up the story and characters quite well. The heroine Sophie is a witch consultant with LAPD, currently on medical leave, who is discovering who she is terms of her supernatural heritage, she is a Djinn. She was adopted and is contacted by a representative of the person who rescued and had her adopted. All of these children who were adopted have supernatural powers and they can lay claim to an inheritance if they are able to get inside a country home in England where many years ago the Dark and Light Courts did battle.
She goes over to England to take her crack at getting inside the country home. Along the way she encounters Robin/Puck and some soliders of the Dark Court. She has a relationship with Nicholas the Commander of the Dark Court.
The story is good. TH writes snark and sarcasm quite well. I enjoy her writing. The story is setup for the next two in the trilogy. I hope one of the stories will go into depth on the relationship of another one of the Dark Court Soliders.
