The Gathering by C.J. Tudor
4.5

Thank you to the publisher for a free copy of Tudor's newest. I am firm believer that Tudor gets better and better with each book. Each time, I read a book by her, I swear it is my favorite. 

Set in Alaska, where it is common in the world for vampyr colonies live not far from human colonies. When a teen human is killed, people are livid and are demanding for a full colony cull. Barbara is a Detective and Vampyr Anthropologist. 

Barbara is being pressured from the community to order the cull, but she refuses to not investigate fully. This leads us into a deep dive of a small community, which of course has its secrets. The plot was intriguing, though slow at times, but overall this is a solid novel. Tudor tells a story with enough pieces that need to be connected, but not so many you feel lost. 

HIghly recommend.
