The Pacific Northwest . . . home to lush forests and constant rain, to lumberjacks and computer geeks, especially those of the vampire kind.
Sophia, beautiful and deadly, has spent the last
hundred years dancing her way through the balmy nights and hot-blooded men of
South America. But when her Sire sends an urgent summons, Sophia rushes home to
Vancouver only to find he has disappeared, leaving nothing behind but three
dead vampires and a letter with Sophia’s name on it.
Colin Murphy, a former Navy SEAL, came to the
Northwest seeking a quiet place to heal the scars earned in more than a decade
at war. But when someone starts killing local vampires and torturing their
mates, Colin takes on the mantle of a warrior once again as he sets out to find
the killers and do whatever it takes to stop them, even if that means hunting
with vampires.
Following her Sire’s trail of death to a small town
in northern Washington, Sophia unexpectedly discovers the heat of a South
American night in Colin’s arms. But all too soon Sophia and Colin find
themselves in a race to uncover the killers before the next dead vampire is
Sophia herself.
Review
This book introduces a new hero and heroine, vampire Sophia and human Colin. And they’re good characters and I enjoyed them but I was really glad to see that Raphael and Cyn played significant roles as well. They are two of the reasons that I fell in love with this series, and it was great to see how their relationship as a couple has progressed.

Vampires are being murdered, including some
belonging to the Canadian Lord, as well as two belonging to Raphael. This brings
Raphael and Cyn to the Northwest to check up on his other vampire children as
well as to investigate the murders. Quite a bit of the story is told from their
point of view. The rest of course, is told from Sophia and Colin’s.
The book itself proceeds with spectacular action.
There is jeopardy, jeopardy, and more jeopardy. There are bad guys - really,
really, bad guys who get what they deserve. And of course, there is true love…
[Fair warning, one of the initial scenes contains the
violent gang rape and torture of a vampire mate. If this is a trigger for you,
proceed with caution.]
As is frequently the case with this author, the
epilogue is a teaser for the next book which will tell Duncan’s story.
Thankfully it is already out and I will be pursuing it very soon.
