( ) Did Not Finish This book has been promoted as being a mix of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. In my opinion, however, it was straight up PNR through and through. And unfortunately, the romance was incredibly rushed, forced, unbelievable, underdeveloped, and utterly devoid of chemistry. I found myself rolling my eyes way too much and quite frankly, just not giving a damn. Consequently, after a handful of chapters (plus a bit of halfhearted skimming), I finally decided that the story was just not for me. Jesse returns to New Orleans post-Katrina to hunt the vampires that killed her sister and left her infected with a demon that drives her to crave blood. Jesse is woefully unprepared to fight the vampires but luckily runs into a real vampire hunter, Maddox, who recognizes her unusual stare as a human infected but not turned into a vampire. Together they and other hunters try to staunch the ever increasing number of vampires that may be signalling the End of Days. I enjoyed this book a great deal. I like the vampire lore that Quinn as developed. I also like that the vampires are pure evil. Not that I don't enjoy a friendly vamp now and then, but it is nice for them to be a clear enemy for a change. I like that the characters are flawed. Jesse is brash and makes bad decisions (understatement). Maddox has his own ghosts to deal with. There is lots of action with this motley crew of slayers. Looking forward to the next installment. no reviews | add a review
