The Night Human World

Everyone you pass at noon is a day human. What keeps its own laws after dark is not. In B. Kristin McMichael's hidden world, the ordinary streets you think you know belong, once the sun is down, to another people entirely: the night humans. Sanguine who live on blood, shifters who trade one shape for another, skinwalkers, hunters, and older bloodlines besides have passed unseen among the rest of us for centuries. The trouble starts when a girl raised to believe herself perfectly normal learns she was born to the wrong side of the dark, and that her lineage shows plainly in the color of her eyes. This is young-adult paranormal romance built as four braided trilogies, all from a single author. The Blue Eyes Trilogy opens the world with The Legend of the Blue Eyes; the Day Human Trilogy turns the mirror around to follow someone crossing in from the daylight side; the Skinwalkers Witchling and Hunter trilogies widen the map to the world's other bloodlines. The books share a setting and a cast rather than one continuous plot, so each trilogy stands as its own complete arc. The pull is first love inside a secret: a mortal-feeling heroine, a protective night human who is not supposed to want her, hidden-school intrigue and slow-gathering danger, all told in a warm, breathless close-up with the romance kept firmly at the center. Begin with The Legend of the Blue Eyes. It is where the daylight ends and everything else follows.
