I received this ebook as a prize from a contest and offered to give an honest review of this story.It is a continuation of the enovella Altered States, wherein New Orleans detective Travis Boudreaux is turned into a vampire and the whole world learns that vampires and werewolves are real.  It is two years later, and laws have been established as well as a law enforcement department called the "Odd Squad" to protect humans as well as preternatural beings.Danny Burkette is a detective in the Odd Squad and is asking Travis for assistance in solving a series of grisly murders involving cemeteries, garden stakes, and vampires turned to ash in the daylight.This is a dark urban fantasy with a romance edge to it.  It kept me interested and engaged with the characters, and there were plenty of characters.  Some characters were introduced in Altered States and others were new in this story.  I would have liked more background into the intervening 2 years that New Orleans was learning to live with the preternaturals, but the story was more about the individual characters than it was about vampires and werewolves in general.  There were enough emotional feelings and steamy sex to satisfy my romantic notions, but it was more suspense than romance.  The cliffhanger ending gave me chills! I quite enjoyed reading this and look forward to the next story in the series.  There are plenty of characters to continue this series for quite a while, fortunately :).
