A young man named Tom Daniels is kidnapped by a local family and is dropped on Loughby Island in an attempt to 'clean up their streets'.When the family that dropped Tom off is slaughtered by a werewolf-like creature, he soon finds himself banding together with a small group of the island's residents in a fight for their lives against an otherworldly monster.

With Angel Tanner, the android that runs California’s criminal underworld, pulling the strings, PI Cassie Tam finds herself thrust into a conflict with New Hopeland’s biggest and baddest. But working with the murderous AI may be the only way that Cassie can get to the bottom of her home’s greatest mystery: What is New Hopeland City?As she struggles to balance her dealings with allies and enemies alike, Cassie is left with a difficult choice. She has always straddled the line between light and dark. Now, the time to decide which side she’s on is drawing close…if she can figure out which is which.

New Hopeland City may be the birthplace of Tech Shifter gear, but it isn't the only place that likes to blend technology with folklore. Now, a new nightmare is stalking the streets…When PI Cassie Tam is attacked on the way home one night, she expects the police to get involved. What she doesn't expect is to be forced into acting as bait to lure out a lunatic in a tech-suit that's literally out for blood. But past actions have consequences, and doing so may be the only way she can get a clean slate from the city's law makers.If only that didn't mean having to face down a wannabe vampire.

New Hopeland was built to be the centre of the technological age, but like everywhere else, it has its dark side. Assassins, drug dealers and crooked businessmen form a vital part of the city's make-up, and sometimes, the police are in too deep themselves to be effective. But hey, there are always other options ... For P.I. Cassie Tam, business has been slow. So, when she's hired to investigate the death of a local VR addict named Eddie Redwood, she thinks it'll be easy money. All she has to do is prove to the deceased's sister Lori that the local P.D. were right to call it an accidental overdose. The more she digs though, the more things don't seem to sit right, and soon, Cassie finds herself knee deep in a murder investigation. But that's just the start of her problems. When the case forces Cassie to make contact with her drug dealing ex-girlfriend, Charlie Goldman, she's left with a whole lot of long buried personal issues to deal with. Then there's her client. Lori Redwood is a Tech Shifter, someone who uses a metal exoskeleton to roleplay as an animal. Cassie isn't one to judge, but the Tech Shifting community has always left her a bit nervous. That wouldn't be a problem if Lori wasn't fast becoming the first person that she's been genuinely attracted to since splitting with Charlie. Oh, and then there's the small matter of the police wanting her to back off the case. Easy money, huh? Yeah, right.

New Hopeland City may have been built to be the centerpiece of the technological age, but some remnants of the old world still linger. The tools of the trade have changed, but the corruption remains the same, even in the criminal underworld …When PI Cassie Tam and her girlfriend Lori try to make up for their recent busy schedules with a night out at the theatre to watch the Tech Shift performer Kitsune, the last thing they expected was for Cassie to get a job offer. But some people are never off the clock, and by the end of the evening, Cassie has been drawn into a mundane but highly paid missing pet case. Unfortunately, in New Hopeland City, even something as simple as little lost dog can lead you down some dark paths.Until now, Cassie wasn’t aware that there even was a rabbit hole, let alone how far down it goes.
