The second of the "Guardians of the Night
" series.
Jules is a 100 year old vampire with temper tantrums worse than an adolescent facing puberty. Learning that his maker,whom he hates justifiably , is still alive or undead if you please; he decides to kill him.
He accompanied by Hana, a friend of an acquaintance, who is asked to baby sit his body during the day.
But of course Jules maker , who is plotting to become the new master of the city has counted on Jules revenge.
the plot , if you can call it that, is pretty simple and serves only to let Hana and Jules have sex in the hotel room. The author keeps reminding her readers not only once or twice ,but over and over , that Hana is courageous, though and clever and Jules an alpha male. A wasted effort as the readers learn that, Hana just has a big mouth , which she cannot keep closed under any circumstances , and she can operate a telephone and use the internet ! But then may be when this book was first published , these had been signs of high intellect!
Despite weak, almost none existence plot and even weaker character developments , I was rather amused by the unrealistic side charters, like very old master vampires who are not capable to put two and two together and even more by the strange twisted reaction of each and every character !
All things considered it isn't really a bad book but I cannot say that I am happy with my purchase.
If you are thinking about buying these series because you enjoy the "Morgan Kingsley " series ,I can only advice you to buy one volume at a time and see if you are happy with what you've got or not. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 076535716X, Mass Market Paperback)

Vampires

They hunt in every major city, hidden by the crowds, shielded by disbelief. They are Killers, and their prey is human.

Not all vampires are Killers. The Guardians of the Night sacrifice the superior physical and psychic strength that comes with feeding on humans to protect them.  But the Guardians walk a thin line, for even a single kill could leave them helplessly addicted to murder.

Jules Gerard has vowed that he will never become a Killer.  But when he discovers that the man who turned him into a vampire is dead and kicking in Baltimore, the allure of extra power is tempting.

Standing in his way is a human, spitfire Hannah Moore, who has followed him to Baltimore to help him confront his past. Hannah doesn't seem to realize how dangerous vampires can be--and despite his façade of disdain, Jules has a real soft spot for the petite P.I.

Jules is going to have to choose: vengeance or love? Damnation or redemption?
