ABOUT THE AUTHOR

When Robin Jeffrey isn’t checking out books to students at the college library where she works, she can be found cranking out punchy flash fiction, lyrical essays, and world-rich novels. Her writing has been published in magazines across the country and around the world. Her debut novel, .exe: A Cadence Turing Mystery, hit shelves last year. She currently calls the PNW home, where she lives happily with her husband and their out-of-control comic book collection. If her face looks familiar, you might have seen one of her bookish videos on TikTok!

ABOUT HUNGRY IS THE NIGHT

In Seattle, the past doesn't stay buried-it comes back to bite you.

The werewolves of the world live in tight-knit gangs, or "dens," for protection from outsiders-and each other. Every major metropolis has one-to belong to a den is to have a family for eternity. However, Grace Holtz, next in line to lead the Seattle den called the Nameless, has had enough of living under the crushing weight of her den's expectations. Having fled to a small, rural town in Southeast Oregon, her goal is to blend in and be as "normal" as possible for the rest of her unnaturally long life.

But Marcus Bowen, a wolf from the UK-based Feóndulf den-and the closest thing Grace has ever had to a lover-has other plans. Reappearing thirty years after their affair came to an abrupt and bloody end, Marcus needs Grace. He needs her to return to Seattle and arrange an audience with Mama, the current leader of the Nameless and Grace's estranged grandmother. The leader of the Feóndulf and his heir have both been brutally murdered, and Marcus suspects that Grace and Mama are next.

Teaming up to hunt for the killer in the Emerald City, the pair slowly begin to realize their romance might not be as dead as they thought. However, as it becomes clear that the person they're looking for holds secrets about both their dens, Marcus and Grace must grapple with competing loyalties, conflicting desires, and ultimately decide what matters more-their dens or each other.

ABOUT THE CADENCE TURING MYSTERY SERIES

.exe: A Cadence Turing Mystery tells the story of Chance Hale, who is more interested in running around with fascinating women than following in his father's footsteps as head of the billion-dollar tech company Halcyon Enterprises. Called home for an important announcement, Chance seeks to liven up the weekend retreat by bringing along the first interesting woman he finds: an alluring young lady named Cadence Turing, who claims to be visiting his home planet Arrhidaeus from the planet Paraesepe. But when someone turns up murdered, all evidence points to Chance, and all ideas of a future for him are erased. Of all the house's guests, his weekend companion seems to believe she can prove his innocence, though she's hesitant to admit how. Can the two help each other before it's too late?
