"Will the hunter become the hunted?"

John Raven, a long-time vampire hunter, has been sent by vampire Devlin Morse to find out how Madison Woods knows so much about their vampire lifestyle. Devlin thinks that she is a hunter.

Devlin had kept Eric and gave him to Claire, the only female in the clutch, to watch. If John doesn't deliver Madison, his brother will become a vampire and he will have to kill him.

Madison has not always made her family proud, she tried to change all that in high school. She finished college and had become a successful author when her paranormal romance book "When Glory Came Home" came out. Of course everyone in River Bend thinks she is a horror writer. Being one of the judges of the Halloween Parade meant that she had finally won the approval of both her parents and the town society. Yet, she still yearns for someone like the hero in her novel. Someone like Jean-Paul Avian, a vampire.

It doesn't take John long to realize that everyone thinks he is the image of Jean-Paul. He knows Madison is not a hunter, so he sets out to keep her safe. Every time he sees Madison he is more convinced than ever that she is his mate. But will she believe him about real vampires? Can he rescue his brother? Will they be able to kill Devlin?

This is a vampire story with a new twist. Madison is a spitfire who has denied herself for long enough. John is just the man to help her out. The love scenes are earthy and hot. Readers will race through this story and eagerly wait for the next installment. If you love vampires like I do, don't pass up this very creative series.
