I'm enjoying these short stories that Jeaniene Frost has put out to expeand her Night Huntress world. In this entry we see the introduction of another supernatural creature not seen before; a demon. I like the idea of Elise, a vampire who strives to protect herself both emotionally and physically by separating herself from society due to the trauma of her life experiences. Blake was an admirable character and a good counterpoint as a man who thought he had everything only to lose it all after his possession but who strives to kill himself just to protect others. The quick development of the relationship between Elise and Blake was believable due to the time constraints put upon the situation as well as the emotional need of both characters.
