I have read most of what this author has put forth and love her work.  But I found in this short story that she exceeded my expectation.  It has a few of the usual characters in the Cat and Bones world, but it is a beautiful stand alone.A female vampire who is content merely to exist because of tragic past circumstances comes across a human controlled by a demon who seeks to end his life to end the destruction and evil the demon is capable of.  The vampire takes an interest that even has her surprised and searches for a way to save this honorable man who though he has come to care deeply for her will do what he feels is his duty to mankind.  It has the elements of a beautiful tragic love.I found it poignant and touched something deep as doomed love affairs do.I cannot add anything about the plot and the main characters beyond several more super-adjectives of how good I found it.There is only one tiny thing that struck me and it was truly no biggie.  I found the inclusion of Cat and Bones superfluous (I know- what am I saying), but that is because these new characters are that well written.Recommend this with no qualms.
