The first female bloodhound and first hybrid vampire/bloodhound, Diana and Nate should have died from their attacks yet both survived and are heading to a city run by vampires to find the rogue hound responsible for selling humans to vampires. Complicating things is the urge to mate that Nate is determined to avoid for Diana's own good but she will not be dismissed. Her hound has found its mate and he's in for a surprise if he thinks he'll be able to get away.Nate is decades older than his young appearance may lead one to believe. Thanks to his forced transformation into a half-vampire, half-bloodhound, Nate was physically returned to his prime but his years of experience has him keeping his distance from Diana for her own good. Yea, as if that plan is going to work. Nate may be older but Diana is the wiser bloodhound. Instead of wallowing in the fact she lost her husband and was forcibly changed in a bloodhound, Diana accepts what she is and waits for Nate's beastly half to recognize what's happening between them.Diana takes the lead in her relationship with Nate. She lets things run at his pace, even if it is more and more frustrating as the time of the month approaches that will send her into a lust filled craze for three days. Diana isn't over the top, I need to prove my strength as the only female of my kind she can potentially be and I love her more for it. She'll cut you down if need be but she can also rock a dress and drop jaws with the best of them. The only time when the places were reversed was in the bedroom, under strategically placed mirrors, and in those scenes, Nate takes over and shows he's good at more than just making weapons. He definitely makes a case for inventors being sexy!Nate and Diana's dangerous mission to find and stop who's responsible for selling humans to vampires takes a turn for the worse when the person responsible isn't who you think. I love the twists Moira Rogers adds to their books because they make sense and are not thrown in for the sake of having something fresh happen. What happens in this book is going to take the Bloodhound series in another direction I'm excited to see.Diana's Hound has Wild West action with a paranormal kick, awesome characters, hot romance, interesting story, all pulled together by some fantastic writing. Everything I adore about this series. As usual, I look forward to their next release.
