* HeroesWantRedheads: Hexene Candlemas and Lily Salem are both redheads. Of course, they're also maidens in their respective witch covens. It's averted, since Nick doesn't get either one of them.

* ProperlyParanoid: A necessary survival trait in the human community, given that monsters tend to see humans as little more than a means of reproduction. Even with laws protecting humans from being captured and turned during daylight hours, it's foolish to go outside without as many defenses as you can carry.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The book features both werewolves (turn into large wolves) and wolfmen (who look like Lon Chaney, Jr.). Each side has a long-standing feud that manifests in their chosen career paths. Both do law-enforcement, but the werewolves work for the Sheriff's Department, while the wolfmen are regular cops.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The three most prominent female characters are the doppelganger Imogen Verity (who usually appears blonde), the brunette (albeit with green highlights) Serendipity Sargasso, and the witch Hexene Candlemas. Imogen is the untouchable movie star ice queen, Serendipity the loyal and starstruck secretary, and Hexene the pugnacious hex slinger. This trope also shows up with the Salem Sisters, the close harmony group/witch coven, with Hyacinth, Verbena, and Lily respectively (in the roles of crone, mother, and maiden).
