A very nice beginning for a new series. The story reminds me of Anita Blake but also gives a lot of reference to the Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory. This is a nice refreshing twist because though there a plenty of female vampires, I haven't heard mention of any of them referring to the one lady "thought" in history to be the closest thing to a vampire, though there is plenty of talk of Vlad.All the compontents are here for what is needed in a good. Book there is the star of the book Leah who really doesn't know what the extent of her powers are but there are a ton of people trying to get to her to help her figure it out. Then there is Nightwalker, Ian Nightwalker a sensual and very old vampire who comes out of no where and attempts to move in on Leah and her ex the sexy Native American cop Joaquin is fighting with everything he has not to let Leah go. So there, you have a great plot and a love triangle. What more do you need? One more thing, a strong female lead. Leah is not afraid to voice her opinion. She can take a butt whooping just as well as she can give one. Also, she is strong enough not to be ruled by her emotions...on most occasions. There are also shapeshifters in the story and I like stories that have a mix of both.What did I not like? Somethings were repeated a few times, but that is a pet peeve of mine especially if the book is not terribly long (177 pgs). But, all good things must come to an end, at least until the second installment is released. So I will be stalking Mrs. Print to see when the next book will released. She will for sure be added to my TBR list.
