Kate Reed

Depending on the reality, Katherine Reed is either human or vampire. As a vampire, she's of a strain with few remarkable attributes--no shapeshifting or mesmerizing--except for extraordinary hearing. In all realities, Kate is an Irish spitfire whose work as an intrepid investigative journalist often gets her in trouble and frequently involves her in the affairs of the Diogenes Club. Kate's insecurity about her own ability and worth is masked by her uncompromising commitment to whatever her current pursuit might be: the result is a deeply empathetic writer characterized by bravery and tenacity.
