"Unpredictable Magic (Jane Yellowrock)" by Faith Hunter
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FWBSLGR8

Book number sixteen of a sixteen book dark fantasy series. I read the
well printed and well bound trade paperback published by Ace in 2026. I
will purchase and read future books in the series.

On a parallel Earth, Jane Yellowrock is a full blooded Cherokee who
walked the Trail of Tears when she was five years old sometime during
the 1830s. Somewhere along the trail, her parents were murdered and she became lost. Being a shapeshifter who could control her DNA, she
shifted to a bobcat form and tried to attack a mountain lion for its
food. She ended up merging bodies with the mountain lion and spent
around a 100 years in merged form. She emerged from the wilderness as a
human child in the early 1900s and then was raised as a human child in
an Christian orphanage. She was apparently aged out and released from
the orphanage where she became a vampire hunter for around a hundred
years. But now she is the Dark Queen of the vampires in the USA.

It has been several years since WW III, the Witch War. A group of
Russian witches opened an interdimensional doorway to a very bad place
and billions of demons flooded the Earth. The good witches and the
Armies of the world won the war but at a horrendous cost. The PTSD
amongst the Witch War's survivors, both supernatural and normals, is overwhelming.

Angelina Everhart-Trueblood and her brother Evan run Everhart
Investigations, a witch PI firm in Chattanooga that solves paranormal
crimes committed by supernatural beings. They won their freedom from
the Queen but the Queen forced a vampire warrior on them, Walter the
spy. But, somebody has stolen magical repositories from the Witch War
full of demons. And they are planning on releasing the demons again.

The series is very well written. I really enjoy the series a lot due to
the Christian symbology and that my wife is half Cherokee.
