Publisher's summary

Merit, Chicago's newest vampire, is learning how to play well with others. Other supernaturals, that is. Shapeshifters from across the country are convening in the Windy City, and as a gesture of peace, Master vampire Ethan Sullivan has offered their leader a very special bodyguard: Merit.

Merit is supposed to protect the Alpha, Gabriel Keene - and to spy for the vamps while she's at it. Oh, and luckily Ethan's offering some steamy one-on-one combat training sessions to help her prepare for the mission.

Merit must accept the assignment even though she knows that she'll probably regret it. And she's not wrong. Someone is gunning for Gabriel Keene, and Merit soon finds herself in the line of fire. She'll need all the help she can get to track down the would-be assassin, but everywhere she turns, there are rising tensions between supernaturals - not least between her and a certain centuries-old green-eyed Master vampire.

Critic reviews

"A refreshing take on urban fantasy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Lot's of fun!

Another great Supernatural Series! The Reader pronounces words differently than I am use to hearing and it makes me laugh. Whatever. Good story nonetheless.

heart-wrenching...

for anyone who has emotions.. Ethan will make you so angry, you'll almost want to put it down for good. almost. as long as you don't, you'll be happy with the ending of this one;)
and onto the next!

Amazing

I love these books and author. Such great detail and passion in the writing. Great!!

Another writer for my "paranormal favorites' list

I have really been enjoying this vampire/supernatural series. The explanation for vampirism seems almost more plausible than most of the paranormal fiction novels I have read. For example: an alteration in the DNA. They are still living, still warm, can eat food but need blood supplements, are mostly immortal with some fatal flaws.... It is a bit irritating that we are kept in the dark as to Merit's real first name. And Merit should just boot Ethan to the curb. Cynthia Holloway's narration can be a bit confusing at times as there often isn't enough variation to differentiate between characters but she still does a pretty good read. Definitely not detracting enough to take away from the story. Bottom line is that if you enjoy listening to authors like Ilona Andrews, Jim Butcher, Jennifer Estep, Carrie Vaughn, Kim Harrison, Richelle Mead, Patricia Briggs, Charlaine Harris, J. R. Rain (another really good find), and T. A. Pratt, you will probably enjoy this series as well.

Twice Bitten

Well, things are coming to a head in more than one way. I don’t know how I feel about the relationship between the master and Merit. I think I need a few more books to make my choice if I want them together or not. Sometimes I think they are good for each other but then others I am not sure. I think she needs someone who will stand with her no matter if that is the hard thing to do. I feel like her family being who they are, really did a number on her and she needs someone to put her first.

The shifter storyline really had me enthralled I want more of this moving forward I think even the hint of an alliance would be very interesting.

Again I am loving the narration.
