BRIEF SUMMARY
Liz is a part of the Green Fae Clan and is a demon hunter. Jack is a vampire and one of the few Liz is not permitted to kill, as he is an allied to Liz’s clan. Both Liz and Jack dislike each other since they’ve met. With an evil killer loose in Boston, both Liz and Jack needs to come together to kill the threat.
THOUGHTS (might contain spoilers for some)
This might be a novella, but it packed a good read for the length of the book. Even though Liz and Jack seem to dislike each other, it brought out good chemistry that readers will love. Jack’s verbal witty attacks towards Liz were cute. Only Liz and Jack can say I hate you so many times and make it sound so sexy. Needing to battle the threat, Liz and Jack needs to perform a ritual to become stronger. What the ritual entails gets an A+ from me. Once their moment came to initiate the ritual I had different stages of enjoyment. First, an awkward moment, then an entertaining moment, and lastly, a very hot sexy moment. The action towards the end was pleasing and I enjoyed Liz’s best friend, Celia; hope we read about her in book 2.
I have no dislikes other than I wanted more of his vampire tendencies to be used a bit earlier on in the beginning.
***Update: I enjoyed book 2 in the series ‘Bound to the Vampire’.
Storyline: GOOD

|Just what I was hoping for,
A very fun and sexy read with smart, witty dialogue and likable characters. I was pulled right into the story. The hero is hot, the sex is seriously smokin’. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

What a fabulous story this is the writing is descriptive and you find it easy to visualise the settings and the characters, the reader is drawn into the story, which is well paced and flows perfectly. The characters have real depth. The sex is really hot. A brilliant read as this is book one in the series I can’t wait to read the next instalment.
