I really enjoyed this vampire romance. The heroine, Cyn, is a strong smart woman who gets involved with the Raphael, Vampire Lord of the western US whenever she helps find a missing vampire as part of her job as a private investigator. Raphael is a very interesting character, as a vampire lord he is strong, arrogant and not afraid of violence to achieve his ends. He is also powerful and sexy, he and Cyn have an instant spark between them that leads to some hot love scenes.

For some reason, I was thinking of this book as some obscure, new author. And after reading her little ditty after the book, I realize that she was very new, as this was her first book. But it sure didn't seem like it. I was really surprised at the world that she has here. She didn't spend a lot of time explaining all of the little details about how vampires came to be and their role in society and how humans deal with them. She simply wrote her book as if they exist, and that's just how it is.

Warning: This book ends with the words "To be continued..." There isn't a cliffhanger per se at the end of the book, but (view spoiler) That felt off to me, but not enough to ruin the whole story.

Looking for your next hot vampire read?
I found the setting amusing – somehow the whole vampires hanging out in the ‘fun in the sun with the rich and infamous’ seems a bit incongruous. The author made it work.
In some ways this made me think of The Vampire Shrink by Lynda Hilburn. Raphael had the same feeling of ‘spooky cool’ that Devereux does. And his relationship with the heroine, Cyn, bubbles with the same intensity. Also, the politics of being the vampire Master swirl with murky shadows, ruth ...more

There was something about this book that seemed off to me. I liked Cyn, but do think that she at times she was TSTL. I couldn't believe how she couldn't see her sister was trying to work her over. I think she should have kicked her out much sooner or at least called the police on her. She seems like the person that won't learn until she is forced to.

I read this primarily because it's set in Malibu, California which is my stomping grounds. And ironically it's because of the familiarity of the setting that I may have not liked it as well as others in this genre. In general I find contemporary stories hard to relate to and the familiar setting just seemed to compound my difficulties with suspending belief. But for whatever reason this book was just not my cup of tea ~

Very good book. Would have gave it 4.5 if not for the ending.
