I love it. This book features Dakota, bounty hunter extraordinaire. She is one of my favorite characters.Dakota hunts the NHF, or Non-Human Form creatures. She's the one police call when they can't handle a particular supernatural being. Cameron's Law may have made all preternaturals citizens, but just like humans, you get your bad seeds and that's when they call Dakota.Dakota now kind of works for Stanton at her agency. She has a long way to go to be a team player and she's kind of scary.She's working a case for Myles Bail- Bonds. A fight ends in death and the vampire, wanted for manslaughter, has bolted.Then she gets a phone call to come down to the police station. The Captain has a case he needs help with.It seems he needs an ancient, a vampire over 1000 years old, found and brought in.Dakota doesn't usually work more than one case at a time, but she's intrigued. She's never hunted an ancient before.And Detective Moore, the visiting detective, has caught her eye. When she learns the detective is looking for a mysterious being, the name slaps her in the face. She'll need to stay close to Moore in order to monitor her hunt for this being, which happens to be Dakota's sister.Someone is following Dakota, things are heating up, people are being torn apart, and bodies are disappearing.What I really enjoyed about this second book, is Dakota finally opens up, as much as she can, and tells what she is, or thinks she is. She starts to let others in, to trust a few people, to get this `friend' thing.The authors flashes you back into time so you can see Dakota's origins and why she is like she is. You also meet her deadly sister. Not someone you are going to like at all.The writing is so fluid. The characters and situations feel normal, not fictional. You forget they can't really exist and just go with it.All I'll say about the ending is it left me grinning.And, of course, wanting more.I received this book for my honest review.
