Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of the Night Huntress series comes a breathtaking new journey to the dark side of desire.

The night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows - her best friend is half-vampire Cat Crawfield - and she has already lost more than the average human could bear. But her family’s past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness - and a demon shape-shifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival depends on an immortal who lusts for a taste of her.

He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect this endangered, alluring human - even if it means destroying his own kind. Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her as they face the nightmare together, because once the first crimson drop falls, they will both be lost.

What did you love best about First Drop of Crimson?

I love all of Jeaniene Frost books. I enjoyed getting the deeper background on both Denise and Spade.

A Jeaniene Frost novel NEVER lets you down!

I listened to all of the "Night Huntress" series and loved them all. Just when I read the last one I found First Drop of Crimson: Night Huntress World. I have never been disappointed with either series. I hope she continues writing new books in BOTH. Tavia Gilbert is the very best narrator I have heard so far! She makes the story "sizzle & pop" to life.

The best yet!

I loved the ties to the other books and the storyline was so unique! The love scenes were just enough and Tavia Gilbert reads with a perfect amount of affectation.

wonderful story

I have Ajay completed the Night hunteress series and enjoy the story line and characters, so decided to start this serious and it is as good as the first!
