5 stars for Written in Red (The Others book 1) by Anne Bishop.
I am hooked from chapter 1 right up to the last by the fantastic world building and great likeable characters that make this compelling story totally absorbing.
In this brilliantly created Urban Fantasy series, enters a mystical world inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities - shapeshifters, vampires, elementals - who rule the Earth and whose prey are humans.
Shapeshifters - Henry Beargard, Simon Wolfgard, Jester Coyotegard,
Jenni Crowgard, Julia Hawkgard, Alison Owlgard.
Vampires - Erebus, Vlad, Nyx Sanguinati.
Elementals - Winter, Air, Fire, Water, Earth.
Unknown (hey no spoiler here!) - Tess
All are fantastic characters - scary but really great.

As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others.
Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.
