"powerful supernatural urban fantasy"

The three half breed Otherworld Intelligence Agency operatives, the human--Faerie D'Artigo sisters know even more so with their opening triumph over the malevolent demon Shadow Wing that one battle does not mean the war is won (see WITCHLING). Instead it has just begun for Camille the witch, Menolly the vampire, and Delilah the shapeshifter, who remain on earth as protectors of the paranormal.

Werepuma Zachary Lyonesse asks the siblings to investigate the serial murders of his Rainier Puma Pride. Delilah, who turns into a purring cat, and her sisters smell demon, but the trail leads to another rival were pack. However, the trio believes a werespider demon tied to their adversary the demonic Shadow Wing is the killer so Delilah turns to the Immortal Autumn Lord for help although she fears the price he will charge might be her priceless half- blood.

CHANGELING is a powerful supernatural urban fantasy with a touch of a whodunit that works because the cast especially the sisterly trio and the were world seem genuine. The action never slows down as the witch, the vampiress, and the "kitten" battle evil knowing the risks they must take. Sub-genre fans will want to join the siblings on their daring escapades to keep the earth realm safe from demonic possession.

Summary

"The first in an engrossing new series, [Witchling was] a whimsical reminder of fantasy's importance in life" (Publishers Weekly).

Meet the D'Artigo Sisters—three half human, half-Faerie, wild and sexy members of the OIA—the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. Camille, a witch, Delilah, a werecat, and Menolly, an acrobat extraordinaire turned vampire, are sent Earthside to keep them out of trouble by their superiors, but the girls find themselves smack in the middle of Demon-Central when Shadow Wing, the leader of the Subterranean Realms, decides to attempt a coup on both Earth and Otherworld. Now, with their erratic powers, the sisters must use their collective talents to prevent the demons from taking over and to save two worlds, one monster at a time.

Delilah:
"Someone's been slaughtering the Weres of the Rainier Puma Pride, and my sisters and I have been enlisted to investigate by Zachary Lyonnesse, golden boy of the werepumas. Right away we smelled demon trouble, and we tracked it directly into the snare of the Hunters Moon Clan, sworn enemies of Puma Pride. But there's more than Were rivalry at work. It's that old demon Shadow Wing who's setting a deadly snare for the pumas. We have to find out why, which means a visit one to of the Immortals. Unfortunately, for my sisters and me, our half-human blood is just enough to put us in mortal danger."
