I received a copy of this book via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.I really enjoyed the story telling of Marie Treanor. Not only was this read a roller coaster for my emotions but it was exciting and fun. This is the first in the Blood Hunters Series but is the sequel to the Awakened by Blood trilogy. I did find it a bit frustrating that I felt a detachment from Elizabeth and Saloman who are apparently the main characters in the Awakened by Blood trilogy.  I would highly suggest taking the time to read the trilogy first if you want a full understanding of these two. It doesn’t take away from the story yet my intrigue into their lives was very distracting.Okay, so on to the first main character Mihaela. She is described as one tough cookie in the book several times and while she can definitely kick some vampire butt it seems that the main focus was to show how broken and hallow she truly was, almost too much. It needed a balance so that she didn’t sound weak and still keep her kick ass persona that  she has going on. She was on her back a lot in the book and Oh can Treanor write a steamy sex scene. I still enjoyed Mihaela’s character and wanted to smack her a few times for her stubbornness.Now on to Maximilian. He is a very old vampire and I really appreciated that his history was given in the book. He has been hidden away for years because of the guilt he has for betraying his maker over the desire to rule. Through his artist side you can tell that he has a lot of bottled up emotions and Mihaela is just the right person to help him come back to “life” and want to participate in the world again. Honestly, you can’t help but fall in love with Maximilian and that just makes his loving so much fun to read.So Maximilian and Mihaela are drawn to a child that is being chased through the streets of Scotland by vampires because of his telepathic powers that they want to use for evil. What? You didn’t think the book was just about the romance between Maximilian and Mihaela did you? Nope, Treanor gives a wonderful story line and puts it all together beautifully.I definitely recommend this steamy read to those who love paranormal romance and sizzling love scenes. I will definitely be reading the next in the series and am contemplating on reading the Awakened by Blood trilogy as well.
