Spoiler Alert.This novel was very strange and complex without rhyme or reason. The main character, Alex,  is a vampire and detective on the night shift but he can also work the day shift?... His great, great granddaughter is abducted by someone whom he surmises is another vampire, Carlos, but even with his super accentuated sense of smell he does not pick up Carlos' scent in the park and has to rely on an artistic sketch.... really. Yet when he goes by Carlos's home, he is wary that Carlos will pick up his scent. Does Carlos who is younger have a more developed sense organ that Alex? Such inconsistencies throughout the book makes it a very difficult novel to get into and follow. The characters lack depth and throughout the book I kept thinking that Louis would be on Janelle's side and betray them but naught.  There were some editing errors, not many but the few were noticeable. The conclusion was anticlimatic and I still am unsure as to why the ring and Cassandra was needed for this 'apocalypse event' to occur...  as stated it's a very confusing novel.
