I received an autographed copy of this book as a prize in a contest.  I did not know the Author or what the book was about until I read it.  I was very surprised.  For a first novel this book is well written and the characters and story come to life.This is not the traditional Vampire Love Story where the kick ass Vampire is a man and he falls for a human woman.  No, the kick ass Vampire in this story is Vesper, not only is she a female, but she is charged with the task of executing condemned vampires.  She is beautiful as well as deadly and has only let one target get away.  She nearly died from it and is still healing from the emotional wounds.  She meets Decker, a Homicide Detective while checking out a Vampire's house one night.  Decker is still recovering from the emotional trauma caused by his wife being murdered.  The serial killer was brought to justice and is residing in prison, but someone is using the same technique to kill now.  Decker has no idea that vampires are real and live amongst humans.  Vesper tells him what he needs to know and introduces him to a Vampire Elder because the killer has escaped and they realize his partner is the same vampire Vesper had been ordered to kill, the one where she almost died in the attempt.  These two come together to form a formidable team.  Sparks fly between the two and the reader waits until the very end to find out if they will get together or not.I am in book love with Cain.  He is sharp, funny, cocky and a smart a**.  He is just the kind of guy I like.  Both Marcus and Laura are characters I hope Ms. Wood gets together in one way or another in the series.I can't wait for more books by Ms. Wood!!
