Shadow Kin by M.J. Scott

3.0

This is an excellent start to a new series/trilogy.
It is set in a world where the Fae, the Blood (vampires) and the Beasts (were-creatures of some kind) coincide with humans. The genre is apparently gaslight fantasy. Basically we humans are restricted access to silver and iron because they can kill the other creatures. Without iron and such we haven't advanced as far technologically. It's also set in London.

Lily is a wraith, no-one really knows how wraiths are born but they come from a Fae parent and a
Spoilerfrenzied human who is in the middle of turning into a Blood.
Lily has been used as an assassin from when she was fifteen.

Simon DuCaine is a sunmage, his power comes from the sun and at night he can create sunlight with the right focus. In the sun wraiths can't "shadow" to become incorporeal.

The world is richly crafted and the story between Lily and Simon is awesome. I think it will appeal to fans of Urban Fantasy as well as Romance.
