I would probably categorize this as a novella since it is less than 40,000 words.  This work was so well polished and edited that I would not have been surprised to find that it was presented by one of the big publishing houses with teams of beta and proof readers and editors.  I did not find one misspelled word, incorrect word usage, or run-on sentence in the whole thing.  It is rare to see that level of professionalism in an indie author's first published work.The characters are beautifully described and I imagined Diandra as an Adelle type.  Jonah, though he was only in the first chapter of the book, was a man I could understand loving.  I can see why Diandra is so destroyed when he is killed.  She is young, widowed, pregnant...it couldn't get much worse for her.  At least he left her with financial security.  She starts to see that he might not be who she thought he was.  How could he have left her so much when other cop friends were struggling to make ends meet?  Lizbeth comes into the story and figures all that out.  What starts as a friendship, and an odd one at that, turns into something more.  This is a lesbian romance with f/f scenes for adults only.I would warn vampire lovers - this is not the normal vampire romance.  There are no vamp love scenes and no blood drinking.  The series is called Just One Bite and it is about how so many people's lives can be changed with a single bite.  This book sets up the series and I think the next one will be more vampire heavy.  If that is what you are looking for, and I know I am, ON TO BOOK 2!
