Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of the Night Huntress series comes a breathtaking new journey to the dark side of desire.

The night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows - her best friend is half-vampire Cat Crawfield - and she has already lost more than the average human could bear. But her family’s past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness - and a demon shape-shifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival depends on an immortal who lusts for a taste of her.

He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect this endangered, alluring human - even if it means destroying his own kind. Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her as they face the nightmare together, because once the first crimson drop falls, they will both be lost.

Just excitingly excellent

So here I am totally hooked to this author. I have finished the night huntress series and was craving some more brilliant story telling, action and steaming passion. I read others reviews on this next series and decided that I would dive in..I have not been disappointed...infact these books have only enriched the night huntress experience....never thought that was possible!..This book was captivating from the first page. Narration is just brilliant and one of the main reasons for continuing with theses books...down loading next book now.

Not as good as the original but still very good.

I love both Denise and Spade and I was so happy that they got their own story. I would have loved to see this developed over two or three books though.
I found the POV changes a little hard to follow from time to time and think this is a book that would have benefited from having two narrators.
