At first, I was reluctant to select this book -- I had never really read a "demon romance" before. However, I picked it up anyway, not wanting to be a book snob... and I made the right choice. This book has an whole new world that I've never seen in a book before - granted I haven't read the entire genre... but I've read quite a few.


Sera Littlejohn deals with death daily, she's an end of life councilor. Now she's dealing with it in her own life; Sera was seriously injured and subsequently handicapped by a car accident. And this isn't she's come close to death. Her past is the reason for her future, Sera Littlejohn is demon possessed.


Ferris Archer is part of a League of Warriors that fight the "bad demons." When he discovers that Sera is the newly possessed, he feels the need protect her, to warn her of her future. He's willing to keep her safe at all costs.


I really enjoyed this book. The characters are fun and detailed. The story-line is great! This was emotional, suspenseful, fresh and totally worth reading. I might even read it again.

This is the second in the Night Huntress Series.

Fast forward four years... Cat is now a special agent for a secret branch of the FBI. They focus on hunting down rogue vampires. She's now known as the Red Reaper and a lot of Vamps don't like her. Needless to say Cat's being hunted... that's right... by a Vamp that likes to collect "rare" objects.... and let me tell you - Cat's pretty rare. But wait! There's more... someone else is trying to kill her. Someone that knows who she was before she became the Red Reaper.

After running away from Bones four years earlier in an attempt to save his life and protect her mother she is forced back into the company of Bones in an effort to save her life.

Things start slowish - but everything is good in this book. I definitely would read Halfway to the Grave before reading this. You really need to know the back story to understand this book.

But let me say - Chapter 32. If you read the book you cannot disagree that that chapter is HOTT. Its the best sex scene I've read in a book ever... I've never wanted to be a leading lady so much in my life....

As I said above... the crazy who is hunting Cat is two fold... Ian - Bones' sire - is trying to lure her in to have her in his line as a rare sex object. And the one who is trying to kill her is her father! We learn here that Max (her father)not only scared the crap out of Justina (Cat's mom) after boffing her in the back of a car... [he told her (and I'm paraphrasing here) that he was demon spawn and that he was soulless.] but was also sired by Ian!

I have to say this started off kind of slow in my honest opinion. However, once you really got into the book it was awesome.

Cat is a halfbreed. Half human, half vampire. Jaded by her mother's (Justina) view of vampires, she sees herself as half evil. In an attempt to get her mother's affection, she starts hunting vampires - at 16 years old!

I don't remember exactly how old she was when the book started... 22 maybe? but its around that time when she goes into an area bar to lure away her next kill. That's when she meets Bones - and this is when things get interesting...

She didn't get Bones away from the bar the first night... but did get another vampire, one that Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, was after. Unknown to Cat she was followed by Bones, who saw the whole episode. The next night she goes back to that same bar where Bones takes her up on her original "offer". Things don't go the way Cat would have expected with Bones, and she finds herself captive his Bones' "lair". This is where it REALLY gets good.

Bones trains Cat on how to kick serious Vamp Butt and the novel just progresses and gets better from there. Needless to say there is a romance between Cat & Bones - which is awesome.

I recommend this Author and series to anyone who likes Vamp books.
