These are two three best books in the H&W Investigations series, Hunted by the Others (2010), Stalking the Others (2012) and Enslaved by the Others (2014).
Hunted by the Others: This is the first novel in H&W Investigation’s series; the story introduces Shiarrra Waynest, a detective. Her detective work was far much dangerous even when her clients were the mortal humans. However, due to the financial crisis that she faces, she is forced to accept almost any job that comes her way just to ensure that ends meets and also saves her firm. Shiarra takes a job from a high-level magician- she is supposed to recover an ancient artifact at the hand of one of the most influential vampires based in New York City. She understands that her assignment will never be simpler from the moment she meets a charming, handsome vampire named Alec Royce.
Now with another group trying to get her services her and her magician killed in the process, Shiarra understands well that she needs some backup if she intends to survive and complete her mission. She calls in her ex-boyfriend, a werewolf, and a magician with extraordinary talents. However, this might not be enough for her to achieve her mission in a city where magic rules, the dead wanders around, and where the people are not whom they seem to be. Shiarra turns out to be one of the secret weapons in a war between the evils and the good whether she accepts it or not.
The first series installment is a great read, the main character, Shiarra Waynest is introduced in such a way that you could never expect. She is a private investigator trying to make her ends meets; her financial income is not sufficient to enough.

The magicians want her to retrieve an ancient artifact from a mighty magician who runs a substantial portion of New York City, and she soon finds herself in facing danger from each single corner she turns to.
She is not your typical urban fantasy you have read before, she has her flaws, she is vulnerable, and she is sometimes unsure on how to handle certain situations. She is competent in the field of investigation and captures the essence of human being as she navigates through the dark and dangerous territories.
Fear, prejudice, and sometimes lack of experience make her irrational. Furthermore, she is leery of the bitey creatures, and she does not want to get too close to them. Eventually, Shiarra will lead you on an epic journey full of danger and mayhem.
