This book starts out with Valentin looking over a crime scene from a hotel room, watching Hayden. Though he has dark thoughts towards her, he is drawn to her as well. Hayden has been investigating a string of murders. The serial killer is targeting young prostitutes. It is the same killer that Valentin has been tracking for centuries since London. Though Valentin is trying to warn Hayden off the case, she is like a dog with a bone and with no other option they team up.This was a completely different look into Haines work for me compared to the last book I read. I would say it was darker and more suspenseful.  It had a light paranormal feel, but it was more urban fantasy, to me. Surprisingly, I actually found myself turning the page eagerly when this is not my typical sort of read. I like how she incorporated Jack the Ripper into the book. I had suspected it when I was connecting the dots, but didn't expect it was really that. The thing that drove me nuts was how it ended. I seriously said out loud "you have to be kidding me!!!!” For a beginning of a new series, it was a good start, but grrrrrr at that ending. I like my Happily Ever After endings. I guess this is an instant way to keep readers eager to read on to the next in the series. In my case, it worked. I will be waiting for the next installment.I received a copy for an honest review
