Publisher's summary

Krysta is used to getting the drop on vampires. Her "special abilities" aren't much, but the plan is simple - she plays helpless pretty young thing to lure them in. Then her shoto swords come out and it's bye-bye, bloodsucker. Until one night she finds herself with an unexpected ally. He's a vampire, all right, but different. Mysterious. Handsome. And more interested in saving her skin than draining it. Etienne has been an Immortal Guardian for two hundred years-long enough to know that Krysta is special. He can't stop thinking about her long legs, even more than her short swords. Then he discovers the vamps she's exterminating have friends in high places, and the Guardians are in danger, too. He'll have to accept Krysta's help to save them. The stakes for a mortal are high. But the cost to his heart might be higher . . .

Simply wonderful..

Any additional comments?

Between borrowing these books from my daughter and buying others and finally buying this audible to see what it was like to read and listen at the same time I read them all and loved every one of them.
The narrator was fantastic. I could listen to her read all day.
The characters were wonderful, especially Seth and David.
I just can't wait until the next book comes out!!!

Always a Happily EVER-AFTER

Love this paranormal romance series AND ever-after means ever after. I would like to make a request... Ms. Dianne would you please write more than one a year. With a touch of crazy in-love stocking they made their gifts work in harmony. However, there was a climax without an ending.

Enjoyed this one

Spoiler Alert!
I really did like this story, being able to see both sides of the story is a plus, but in this one more so than the others we were giving different points of views. Zack was found out and now he's in deep trouble, Seth is so mad that he's not seeing or thinking clearly, and everyone else are still left in the dark. I was Seth would tell everyone about Zack that way he could get feedback from everyone else but I wouldn't want to put Amy in that position.

Just keeps getting better and better

This series just keeps getting better and better! I loved Krysta. She is perfect for Etienne. (Spelling?) Dianne is such a talented author. I think one of the things that makes her my favorite is how she always seems to bring in all the characters from the previous books. And there’s always such an intense action packed story throughout. This one was so unique because Krysta can see auras and this helps her fight vampires. Her brother and parents are gifted. Her brother is a healer and in college to be a doctor. I can’t wait to see him in the future. I hope Dianne had more of the parents in future books also.

Favorite so far!!!

so far this has been my favorite book of the series. it had so many new discoveries about the characters. Plus we got introduced to Zach's character more. Atienne has found his match and she has a brother who is also a gifted healer. you also find out in this book that one of the Immortals has betrayed Seth, but we don't know who it is. all in all it was a great book!
