Books like Moonshine by Rob Thurman
Cal Leandros, a former hero of supernatural intrigue, and his brother Niko settle into New York City as bodyguards and detectives. The city’s streets are patrolled by preternatural beings, and business between humans and monsters remains brisk. Their latest assignment places them undercover within the Kin, a werewolf Mafia cartel. A low‑level Kin boss suspects a rival is orchestrating his downfall and seeks Cal’s aid. The investigation begins in the back room of the Moonshine gambling club—a haven for non‑human patrons. Cal believes the job is simple, but he quickly realizes it is far more dangerous. He and Niko themselves become targets, and the conspiracy threatening them is far more sinister than they imagined.
