The Thirteenth Child	comment	Book One in The Section 13 Case Files series.Immortal sidhe Tuulois MacColewyn is living rough. After nearly two centuries of life as one of Faerie Queen Titania's prized wolves and a handful of years as a Roaring Twenties mob boss's favorite enforcer, he's now exiled to New York, making rent doing dirty jobs for other fey outcasts. He used to consult on the occult for Detective James Corhagen at the NYPD, but since their highly combustible friendship burned itself out a year ago, Cole hasn't heard from him.All that changes when Corhagen summons Cole right out of his shower and into the middle of a crime scene. The NYPD is facing a rash of messy black-magic murders, complete with exploding hearts and very little forensic evidence, not to mention the sinister disappearance of several half-fey children. However hard he tries to deny itâ€”and his inconvenient attraction to the sidheâ€”Corhagen needs Coleâ€™s help. A persistent police inspector rounds out the team, but when their investigation comes too close to the truth, suddenly itâ€™s their lives on the line. With a powerful killer on the loose, Cole, James, and Inspector Vallimun must race against time to stop the monster out to claim the thirteenth child.

The Thirteenth Child / int_166e33f3	type	Little Miss Badass
The Thirteenth Child / int_166e33f3	comment	Little Miss Badass: Robyn, hands down. She looks no older than twelve yet is armed to the teeth thanks to a Bag of Holding made by her grandmother. She also wears a red hood over camo fatigues and can perform Beyond the Impossible acrobatics without batting an eye.

The Thirteenth Child / int_5565bf30	comment	Three-Way Sex: This happens in a dreamscape between the three main male characters. Corhagen flip-flops back and forth afterwards between wanting to deny it happened and trying to blame it all squarely on Cole.

The Thirteenth Child / int_6411dac8	comment	Badass Normal: Detective Corhagen shows shades of this initially. There are hints early on that he may have some small preternatural ability involving foretelling dreams but this has yet to be elaborated on. Inspector Vallimun has this in spades, however, particularly after he gets the bazooka.

The Thirteenth Child / int_859ec5d8	comment	The Fair Folk: Cole is a pure-blood sidhe who has lived in New York City for the past ninety years or so. Nevertheless, he still thinks very much like a sidhe and not a human. In this particular brand of New York City, fey are all over the place. Most people ignore them out of the belief that they aren't real.

Even for New York, this seems a bit hard to take. Word Of God says that its due to people no longer believing in them. Their minds either ignore it or make up some excuse
