Malakai Cavanagh has been a vampire for over a thousand years and the leader of the Irish vampire Kiss for almost two hundred. Not only is he a member of the Inferna council but he is also the face of Sicarius Security, the world’s most elite security company. More importantly, Sicarius is the legitimate front for what he and his Kiss do; killing those who threaten the very balance between human and Inferna, the ones who would show humans everything that goes bump in the night.
Keeva Cross is the abomination of her Scream, a banshee who cannot predict death, the industry that earns the Scream millions each year. Instead, Keeva’s touch can be lethal. After accidentally killing her best friend as a teenager, the sentence for her crime was a hundred years of service to earn her freedom. When she is offered a contract to kill one little vampire in order to wipe out the last twenty years of her sentence, Keeva is hungry to take the seemingly easy job.
Centuries old peace between the Inferna species is starting to unravel, and Malakai and Keeva find themselves caught in the middle of the beginnings of an uprising. Working together might be the only way to stop what’s coming, if only they can douse the flames of attraction that might just be the kiss of death.
Susan Harris is a writer from Cork in Ireland. An avid reader, she quickly grew to love books in the supernatural/fantasy genre. When she is not writing or reading, she loves music, oriental cultures, tattoos, anything Disney and psychology. If she wasn't a writer she would love to be a FBI profiler or a PA for Dave Grohl or Jared Leto.
Another work of magic by Susan Harris. Once again she manages to form an unlikely group of supernatural creatures together to kick some butt. This time it's a group of assassins. Do I have your attention yet? Did I mention she has new lore in this one as well? Go get it!
A bit more romance than I usually like (I tent to read past those passages) but my oh my, the plot is super awesome. And I love how the thingies are called Kiss and Scream and such. Very much looking forwards to the second part. Vindictive is an intriguing person.
Another hit series in the making. Susan has a talent for pulling you into the character's lives. In her words she says, she writes what the characters tell her t o.
This book is a real treat to read. The world building is very well done. The characters feel like real people and you come to Care for them rather quickly. The story is exciting, scary, heart-rending, and oh so hot. I will be looking for the next book immediately.
