First I should say that you do NOT need to read the first book or the previous books to jump into this novel and enjoy the hell out of it. The previous novels will set up/background some of the character relationships, notably Alyssa and Lysander, and some of Nicholas, but you do not necessarily HAVE to read them to enjoy this book. Should you? Uh...YES. We're talking about Katie Salidas' HOT vampires, great plots, and as you can see from the excerpt above, NO sparkles!Meet Kit. She's chasing her boyfriend who dumped her and joined a religious cult. Yeah, she's dumb. But she's also a witch with incredibly strong mental powers, able to shield and project. Meet Nicholas. Nicholas is a two thousand year old vampire who lost his mate, Rozaline, in the last year or so. Nicholas is heartbroken and it makes him extra grouchy. Kitara just can't accept that her boyfriend of five years/fiance of six months has turned into a douchebag and dumped her to join this cult. Turns out...this cult? Yeah, it's Acta Sanctorum, the Saints, dedicated to eradicating this world of anything they deem unnatural, including a pagan (Kit). Nicholas saves Kit's life three, four, five times and each time she seems to respond to him in a nasty, bitchy manner. We learn it's because she's determined to find Jeremy and convince him to come back to her. Some people just have to learn the hard way, I guess. But while she's learning, the sparks between her and Nicholas are bright!She has to learn the hard way that Nicholas is right about Jeremy- he's a lost cause. But that's okay because Nicholas and Kit have started something...something hot, something spectacular, and oooh baby in the end? Well, you'll see. But I, for one, was VERY happy with the ending...which is open to more IMO!Any one who loves gritty urban sexy hot vampires should like this series. Start with Nicholas and Kit's story. Then go get your free IMMORTALIS CARPE NOCTEM, book 1, in the series...and pick up the rest!
