Publisher's summary

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father - the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unlikely partnership.

In exchange for help finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner…are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon, Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side...and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Critic reviews

“Take one half-human/half-vampire female with serious anger and parental issues, add in a sexy ancient vampire with his own agenda, and you have the makings for a truly combustible series. Sign me up for the sequel!” (Romantic Times)

awesome book

very well written kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the story. although I don't recommend listening to it with windows down in car during the steamy bits. loved it and will definitely be buying the next book in series to see what trouble Kat finds herself in next.

Fun Vampire Read for Young Adults

Fun YA vampire story. Great narrator for this book and different voices are consistently assigned to various characters. However, I do agree with other reviewer that Bone's voice can be more manly and sexier. I would read Book2 to find out how Bones came back to Cat's life, and go from there.

More Than Halfway Amazing!

This is one of the most amazing beginnings to a paranormal world. It's going on my favorites shelf! I'd read the book before listening to it, and definitely preferred the audiobook.

Good Read

It's takes a while to get use to Bones' accent but it's a good read. The reader is very convincing as Kat and she pulls you in with her humor. Also, the sex scenes are fairly descriptive so listen at your own dirty risk (;

Starts with a Bang, but leads to a Fizzle...

Let me start by saying this -- if you're looking for an action book with a little erotica thrown in, then this is definitely your choice; however, if you're like me and want a lot of erotica with a little action thrown in....this probably isn't for you. Don't get me wrong though, I still loved this book, but I wanted more from the main characters. Cat and Bones have fantastic chemistry, and when they finally go all the way, it leaves you wanting more. The problem is, after the first time, the author fails to elaborate on anything physical between the characters. It becomes a mention. Let's be honest....we want to hear all the details! We don't just want to know that they had sex. Am I right?

Tavia's performance is extremely memorable. She gives every character a distinct voice and puts so much emotion into her reading. It was a little difficult to get use to immediately, but after the first chapter, you'll start to really like it.
