Review: Great as a stand alone, but I can't wait to read book 1

At first I was a little nervous about this one. I'm still getting used to the whole paranormal genre, not to mention the fact that I'm actually liking them. I was also concerned over not having read the previous book, but it turns out I worried over nothing. I've been lucky to get a lot of ARC's from Entangled (including this one) and I haven't been let down yet. Whatever they don't send me is an auto buy for me, and that now includes book 1 which I can't wait to read Kade and Val's story.Alice isn't happy. She's depressed, has migraines and panic attacks. She works all the time and struggles to support her brother who's in a coma. She works at the VLO (Vampire Liason Office). Her friend and boss Val is taking a leave of absence and wants Alice to step in. On her first day a murder case drops in her lap. The victim is a newly turned vampire. The papers for turning the victim into a vampire haven't been filed so technically the case belongs to the VLO, the Legion Tracker who's been assigned feels the case is theirs since it involves a vampire.Killian (or Ian) is the Tracker. He doesn't understand Alice's by the book way of doing things. He's willing to work outside the lines if it gets the job done. He agrees to work with Alice, but both are holding things back due to their own past traumas. They must work together to stop the killings and find the murderer while trying to resist the mutual attraction.I loved loved loved Ian's character in this book. I always like it when the male character is the one pursuing a serious relationship. I felt really bad for him though with the way Alice kept sending mixed signals! Can't wait for the next book, but at least I can read the 1st one while I wait.
