New York Times bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn presents the second Fly by Night novel, set in the realm of the Otherworld.
 
I'm Shimmer, a blue dragon shifter. Thanks to a mistake, I was exiled from the Dragon Reaches and sentenced to work for gorgeous, exasperating Alex Radcliffe, a vampire who owns the Fly by Night Magical Investigations Agency. Every time I turn around, somebody's trying to kill us. But you know what they say: All's fair in love and bounty hunting...
 
A serial killer is stalking the elderly Fae of Seattle, draining their bank accounts before brutally murdering them. When Chase Johnson asks for our help, Alex and I discover that the sociopath is also a shifter—able to change shape to match his victim's deepest desires. Our friend and colleague Bette volunteers to act as bait, but the plan goes dangerously awry. Now, unless we find her first, she's about to face her worst nightmare.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Galenorn delivers suspense, myth, and stunningly relatable characters in her second Fly by Night paranormal contemporary…each character is someone the reader can imagine befriending. The suspense builds, layer by layer, as the central mystery is addressed and a wide variety of smaller, more personal issues are teased out, leaving readers with an almost desperate need to know what happens next. Each detail seems specifically chosen to enhance immersion into a beautiful, complicated setting.”—Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)

Whatever series looks interesting to you, you'll never go wrong if the author is Yasmine Galenorn. This book is action packed, with twists and turns to keep you interested. If you read her Otherworld series you'll notice that this book ties into that series, just from a different aspect. Shimmer is slowly growing, and if I was Glenda I'd watch out because I don't think we've seen the last of these two. As for making friends, Shimmer has realized she has a close circle and is really starting to see the pluses of being earthside.

Oh my Gosh!!!!! Shimmer and Alex are back and boy are they badder than ever!!!!! When Bette, their beloved friend and co-worker gets kidnapped by a serial killer, they have to race against time to find her before she meets the same fate as the killer's other victims. Little do they know that the killer is a more powerful enemy than either of them could have anticipated. Amongst all of this, Alex and Shimmer are trying to figure out their relationship while dealing with Alex's crazy ex girlfriend while dealing with another haunted house and a few other twists and turns. A couple of Otherworld characters make cameo appearances and the twists and turns kept me guessing. The main theme of this book to me, was the theme of family and what truly defines it. Home is where your heart is and your blood family may not always be your true family as Shimmer learns. The only criticism I have and it may be answered in the future is that Yasmine touches on a secret of one of the main characters (I won't say which for spoiler reasons) and the hints she gives are a bit vague and again it may be revealed fully later on. I'm glad Tonya is back but the situation she is in has me a bit confused as well. Is it just to add a sense of a normal situation in an otherwise supernatural story? Or is something more sinister on the horizon?(Again won't say more because of spoilers)This book is a most excellent sequel and I am begging for more!!!!

Once again I am saddened to leave another story! This book has everything! Deep, dark passion, ghosts, magical creatures and terrifying battles! Love, loyalty, pain and journey. I absolutely LOVED the cross over from her Otherworld series since I know those characters very well. I am ecstatic to watch this new series unfold. I've been a fan of Yasmine Galenorn for years!

Review first posted on jenasbookreviews.blogspot.com

The 2nd book in the Fly by Night series by Yasmine Galenorn. Shimmer and Alex are exploring their relationship but that is made more complicated by his ex, Glenda, stirring up trouble everywhere she can. Then there is the haunted house across the street from her that is calling to her. But what is really on everyone's mind is the murder of several elderly local fae. With suspicions mounting that they are dealing with a doppleganger of some sort, Betty volunteers to put herself up as a bait and then everything goes wrong...

I felt that this book flowed better than the first and while the sex scenes felt less forced, I still rolled my eyes at some of the placements (in the office with a client waiting...really?!). I get that it's paranormal romance but I also feel that it should enhance and serve the story and not be thrown in haphazardly and there were definitely a time or two that I felt that was the case. In the good, there was more character growth and learning backstories which I always want more of. I'm looking forward to the next book and hope to see more of that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book 2 more adventures of Shimmer in the Fly by night detective agency
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2017

As always Yasmine never lets me down with her story telling, this is the second book in the Shimmer series, set in same location and time as Otherworld series, some of the characters from the D'Artigo books crop up in these books i.e. Chase Johnson, Roman, others only get a mention like Carter or Smokey, it would have been good for a bit more cross over but the Fly by Night series stands alone very well. Being a detective agency that operates at night due to the boss being a Vampire there would have been plenty of scope for lots of adventures but I think this series is on hold for the time being, well worth the purchase and the read

Note: although the book could probably be read without knowledge of the previous book, it's still book two in an ongoing series. So reading it in the intended order is better.

Review
Book two of the “Fly by Night” urban fantasy series has all that makes its prequel such an entertaining read, it's a smooth continuation of “Flight from Death”. And it starts just a few weeks after the gang came back from Port Townsend, Shimmer and Alex now a couple. Sort of. Their status and what it entails is one of the side threads here. And I just tell you right now that this relationship still is the weakest point of the series for me. Maybe its because I'm told so much from Shimmer's POV and she is so... “pragmatic” about everything. And unsure of what exactly it is she feels. So the romance continues being a bit devoid of feeling. I don't know. I like the two alright, but somehow it doesn't ring true. But: it's a small complaint, especially since I do like Shimmer and her POV a lot [her view on the world is sobering and hilarious at the same time] and the romance is not the plot's focus.

There is the main case, a serial killer on the loose who targets friends of Bette and although the case in “Flight from Death” was more mysterious and frightening, it kept me reading and enjoying myself. Especially since there are turns that weren't obvious and there are new cases building around the team and their friends: Tonya is in trouble [and I liked to meet her again, she is one cool witch] and Glenda, the infamous ex, is back and furious about Alex' new relationship. Let's just say that whatever will happen to her in the future: she had it coming. Boy was I mad about her! I'm curious how that will play out in future installments!

The case at hand is wrapped up satisfyingly and I'm keen on reading on about Shimmer and the “Fly by Night” investigations team.
