The full review can be viewed in my blog..[...]Disclaimer - I got this book in an e mob format in exchange for my honest review.Synopsis ...This is the prequel of the V V Inn Series. Jonathan Winchester - a hot blooded Were decides that he wants to leave his pack and move ahead. The decision is taken out of his hand when he finds his 'mate' and his best friend cheating on him.  He leaves the pack in anger after nearly killing them and heads towards Nothern Virginia.A part of him wanted to go and visit his parents, who thought he was dead after being attacked in his college campus. But he does not do it. The risk would put his family in danger and threaten the supernatural world to exposure.[So sad. The Humane in a wolf.]He stops by a café where he meets the waitress,Raine. His alpha blood understands that she is the one for him. They go out for their first date where he realizes that he would want her for the long haul and decides to take things slowly. Surprisingly even when he felt that Renee is attracted towards him, she becomes aloof, to the point of reducing him to the role of a stalker.He follows her to her place and to his horror, he finds it that she serves as  a feed for the blood sucking vampires. [Can you imagine all the supernatural talent to go for a toss if you just lose your free will and live only to serve the vampires!]Anyways,  as luck would have it Jon is caught and his blood is drained out. But Raine saves him by giving him a special potion and helps him to escape. He goes to Washington, DC and encounters Dria and Rafe. Dria is a vampire [ for those who have not read the seriesJ] and Rafe is her mate. Now the story begins and many questions rise-  Can Dria a lone vampire manage to vanquish the cold blooded killer? Why would she agree to help Jon against her own kind? And finally, would they be able to come out unscathed after fighting with those monsters who had been sucking the werewolf blood for years?What I liked ....To be honest this is my first novel of the supernatural genre.The only other Supernaturals I  have read/seen are Twilight series and Harry Porter series [who hasn't?] and after I waded through all the bloodiness and furriness, I kinda got hooked on it. I would now really look forward to reading this series. And no I am not getting paid to say this ![ so stop snickering!!].This short story had a heart. Literally,[ besides the one that is......J] There is a hidden sensitivity to the whole story. The way Jon wanted to have a permanent relation was an endearing quality about him [Learn Humans!!]  and then the relationship between Dria and Rafe- passionate, complete trust and understanding.[ any comments Humans?]The best part was how Jon went out of his way to fight for something he truly believed in. He did not have to become a servant to Dria, just for the sake of saving those 'weres' whom he did not know also.What I didn't like...Umm... if I really have to point out then maybe the fact that the scene were the vampires were drinking blood  was a bit too graphic for me. But then again this is a positive point on the part of the writer, for C.J Ellison has created quite  vivid picture with her choice of words. Now that you got me interested in Supernatural Genre, I am ready to battle it out of my daughter's shelf.[a mighty task indeed]
