Susan Michaels was the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat until she walked into a setup that ruined her reputation. Now she's working for a small Seattle paper, penning stories about killer moths and alien babies, convinced that her life couldn't get any worse...

That was before an idea for a breaking news piece brought her to a local animal shelter where she ends up listening to her source rant about vampires 'and 'gets coerced into adopting a cat despite her allergies. But when her new pet suddenly reveals himself to be a gorgeous--and lethal--shapeshifter, Susan realizes that there's far more at stake than a career-saving by-line.

Born into a world of predators, Were-Hunter Ravyn Kontis was betrayed by those he loved best. Soulless, pitiless, he has spent three hundred years battling the Daimons who seek to subjugate humankind. Against all odds, Susan evokes in Ravyn feelings of tenderness. Desire. Love. And with the ultimate battle about to begin, this one very human woman holds the power to shatter both their worlds...

I've never read a Dark-Hunter book before, so I wasn't sure when I picked it up if I would be lost or not. I wasn't too lost! The politics of it all is a little confusing and I'm still not sure I grasp it all, but the characters were great and the story was interesting. There were references to a few things in the past, but I'm not convinced they were actually covered in another book. Overall, I really enjoyed this, and will likely look for others by Kenyon. ( )

Ravyn Kontis & Susan Michaels

'You don't knock on the devil's door, boys, unless you want him to answer.' ( )

One of the best in the series so far.
For once it's not set in New Orleans but in Seattle where Stryker tries to kill all Dark Hunters with the help of his daimon army and also humans. In the midst of this mayhem the Dark Hunter Ravyn and the human reporter Susan meet. Both without families, they find comfort and ultimately love in each other. ( )

Susan isn't having a good day. Her job is a joke, the stories her boss puts her on are insane and inane. When a friend asks if she can rescue a cat she takes the chance to escape the office, even if she's allergic to cats.

It turns out that the cat is a shapeshifter. Ravyn Kontis, who was captured and put into the shelter to die.

The Daimons who are hunting him force him to save her and they end up on a rollercoaster ride. Can they manage to keep alive, what about their growing attraction, and her allergies?

The usual light Sherrilyn Kenyon, fun, sexy and exhausting. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312357435, Hardcover)

Susan Michaels was once the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat until a major scandal ruined her life and left her writing stories about alien babies and Elvis sightings. Life as she once knew it is over, or so she thinks, but then she gets a lead on a story that could salvage her extinct career. She heads to the local animal shelter, expecting a hot news tip, which she gets in the form of a major police cover-up . . . for a ring of soul-sucking vampires out to take over Seattle. So much for saving her credibility.
And if that isn’t bad enough, she gets talked into adopting a cat and finds she’s allergic to it. A cat that turns out to be a shapeshifter who claims to be an immortal vampire slayer on the prowl for the same corrupt cops. Her first thought: seek professional help.
But as Susan’s drawn into Ravyn’s dark and dangerous world, she comes to realize that there’s a lot more at stake than just her defunct career. Now it’s no longer a question of bringing the truth to her readers; it’s a matter of saving their very lives and souls.
Ravyn’s life was shattered over four hundred years ago, when he mistakenly trusted the wrong human with the truth of his existence. He lost his family, his honor, and his life. Now, in order to save the people of Seattle, he’s forced to confront that nightmare all over again, and to trust another woman with the secret that could destroy him.
In the world of the Dark-Hunters, life is always dangerous. But never more so than now; when a very human woman can shatter their entire world with just one story. The only question is . . . will she?
