When I saw that Cynthia Eden had a new paranormal romance out, I scurried over to Barnes & Noble as fast as I could. This novella is a standalone vampire/werewolf PNR, but it is set in the same world as Bound By Blood, which I also loved. Both are only $.99 and both are fantastic, quick reads.
It opens with a werewolf, scarred both inside and out, taking payment from a witch. His job? To kill a vampire named Allison.

A really quick read. Cade is hired by a witch to kill a vampire named Allison. Only problem is that when Cade finds Allison he realizes that she hasn't even had a chance to fully make the transformation from human to vampire. Cade may have been okay with killing a vampire but he balks at killing a human who is scared to death about what she's becoming. Cade was an interesting character with a great past that motivated him to ruthlessly kill vampires. However, pairing him with the uber innocent a...more

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

Another set of star-crossed lovers. This time we get a powerful werewolf who has a serious bone to pick with every vampire he comes across (with good reason, mind you) and a soon-to-be vampire who has no idea what's happening to her. There's backstabbing and betrayal, angry werewolf growls and dirty sexin'. Not literal dirty, though. They're both pretty clean when they get down to business. Especially that time in the shower. *nods*

2.5 stars = pretty good. I've read all the other stories in Eden's vamp/were romances but I somehow missed this first time around. In Bound in Darkness werewolf assassin Cade - tortured by vamps who slayed his whole pack when he was young - can't resist his consuming and immediate attraction for his target pureblood vamp Alyson - who doesn't know she's a vamp and who has every reason to fear them since they murdered her parents. As much as I like enemies to lovers, in a short story that transiti...more
Cade is a werewolf, scarred after abuse by vampires that he faced when he was younger. A witch pays for his service to kill a vampire. However, when Cade finds the vampire, Allison, she is not yet a vampire ... she's still a human on a brink of changing. Cade realizes he cannot kill her (yet) and ends up protecting her from the witch and the vampires that seem to go after her.

Ok this one wasn't AS good as the other two books in this series. I think it was because there was no history between the Cade and Allison. That is what I liked about the other two books, it made the relationship between the characters a little stronger. This was still a good story, but it was hard not to compare it to the other books in this series.
I did like how Cade became so fiercely protective of Allison. One thing I thought was missing, was there was never any talk about why she left the...more

Cade Thain is a werewolf and an assassin for hire when it comes to offing vamps. Nearly tortured to death as a young child, Cade's motto is and always has been the only good vamp is a staked vamp. When the witch Elsa offers him a tidy sum to kill the vampiress Allison Gray, he sees no problem taking on the job.
Allison Gray knows she's being hunted. Her witch friend told her where to run to seek a protector. That protector will make himself known to her when the time comes. When she finds hersel...more
A yummy shifter hero and a kick ass vampire heroine. What more could you ask for?
Well you really don't need much more in this book. It was fantastic. The characters both rocked and the attraction they shared for each other was explosive.
Cade is definitely a bad ass hero. He is strong and alpha to the core. When he walks into a room he takes charge and is respected to the fullest. I really felt a strong pull to him being that I love an alpha man, especially if said man is a werewolf. Allison is...more

Cade has just been hired by a witch to take out a pureblood vampire which as far as he is concerned will be nothing unusual. When he gets his first look at Allison he finds his world turned upside down. He never expects to meet a vampire that is as seemingly innocent as Allison is.

* I received this ARC free from the author in exchange for an honest review*
Cade Thain is hired to kill a female vampire. He has no problem being paid to kill the one thing he hates the most. Vampires killed his family and pack when he was a child. They tortured him by wrapping him in silver and using liquid silver in the wounds, permanently scarring him. Only problem, Allison isn’t what he expected.

Warning: This novella is a sexy paranormal romance. As such, it contains blood, sex, vampires, and a hot alpha werewolf. Violence and adult language?

This could have been a decent vampire/werewolf romance, however, it was way too rushed (only 172 pages on my Nook), and didn't give enough time for the hero, Cade, (the werewolf) and Allison, (the vampire) to really establish their unique romance. The story had good potential and as I was reading, I enjoyed Cade's alpha-bad-ass image and Allison's damsel in distress, (although clueless knowledge of turning into a full-fledged "pure-bred" vampire), persona.

Novella.
Cade is a werewolf and a vampire killer. So when he is approached by a witch to take out a female vampire he doesn't give it a second thought, it's not like he's opposed to killing her.
Then Cade meets his supposed victim, Allison, and he has an overwhelming urge to protect her instead. In fact, he saves her from another vampire attacking her and finds out...she's human.
How is this possible? Allison is a Pureblood, a vampire born, not turned. And all Purebloods start out human and eventu...more

I have said it before and will say it again... I am a HUGE Cynthia Eden fan! She tops my auto-buy list. Which explains why I didn't hesitate to purchase this book.
With that being said...(eyes closed...holding breath) this one is not one of my favorite. Don't get me wrong it was a good read and I was totally engaged in the story until the end. (This being a true testament to Cynthia Eden being a gifted writer) I just didn't care too much for the plot regarding the vampire heroine-Allison. She did...more

Cade, a werewolf and an assassin, is hired by a witch to kill a pureblood vampire. In this series werewolves and vampires are natural enemies, but Cade really hates vampires - with good reason. So, eliminating one more bloodsucker is just another day's work. Until he meets his mark.
Allison is on the run and searching for the one man she was told could help her. After finding Cade in a seedy bar, she is shocked to learn that her savior was to be her executioner and that she is the same as the cre...more

Allison is a pure blood vampire which means at the age of 25 she leaves her human life behind and starts going through the change. No food would satisfy her and she starts feeling weak in the sunlight. As she is starting the change she meets a witch who tells her that she needs to find a guide who will protect her and tells her who that guide will be.
That same witch has hired Cade, a werewolf/assassin who hates vampires because vampires killed his entire pack and tortured him, to kill Allison.

This book is loosely tied to Bound By Blood, but it's not necessary to have read the first book to enjoy this one. It stands alone quite nicely. I like this one rather more than I did BbB; actually, when I first read that one, I had thought it was an old book updated. It had that unpolished, early book 'feel' to me.
This book I enjoyed much more. It is a short sexy romp about another 'Pure Blood' vampire woman and a werewolf. Cade is hired to eliminate Allison before her 'change' and she becomes...more

I devoured this novella! There is nothing like an opposite attracts read. Cade is a werewolf who was tortured by vampires when he was young. Now that is he older he is an assassin sent to kill a pure blood vampire by a witch named Elsa. Allison is a pure blood vampire but has no idea yet. She has not began her change. She knows she is being stalked and is sent to Cade for protection by a witch named Elsa. Its then that fireworks spark!

I really enjoyed this book and it worked for me despite being a novella.

Much, much better than the previous. Although it is a fast-paced story, at least I wasn't in the rush. From what I read, it seemed a bit similar with the previous book. This is not me complaining. Just merely stated it and I quite liked it.
I liked Cade though. I felt bad for him at the first few chapters because he had to choose between his desire or his hatred. It was amusing to read too that he was scared shit he might lose his significant other for real. Because Allison was near close...more

As usual, Cynthia Eden shows the quality of her work in yet one more story. Each character, scene, tone, and sequence is tastefully chosen and described. The story line is excellent for such a short novella. The hero of the story, a werewolf, shows his alpha ways of protecting his heroine and his badass attitude with those who wants to bring pain, hurt, and other bad things upon her. I'm not going to spoil it for you; the only thing I can tell you is that it is more than worth spending 0.99 cent...more
