John Brittan (Britt) is a former police officer and is one of these recruits. He’s unsure of the whole situation and isn’t sure he wants to be a part of it. During his training, he discovers himself and also proves to be on the team.
Regent is Jess’s brother who is a priest and her protector. He is getting older and worried about who will take care of Jess after her dies. Of course, Jess doesn’t want him thinking this way, but Regent knows vampires don’t die of old age. He continually tries to find someone to help fill his spot.
Prometheus is the evil vampire they hunt to the end. What a story he has.
The author has developed these and other characters in the book. She has done an amazing job of describing them and giving them vigor in the plot. With so many vampire stories out there, I was a little reluctant this would be that great of a read, however, I was wrong. The author has done an excellent job of weaving a plot around typical vampire conditions with mystery, humor, and romance in a way I thoroughly enjoyed. I leave it wanting to compare it to Karen Moning’s Fever series, but of course that one doesn’t do vampires and this one wasn’t as dark. Very enjoyable read.
Verdict: 4.5 star rating! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes vampire books or even urban fantasy readers. It was not heavy at all on the romance. ”

“This book had me from the beginning! A great start to another series with a great twist on the vampire thing! The characters played well off each other and the ending was a good segue to the next book!”

I guess because it was a vampire story and it was dark and gritty, and yes there was romance, but I loved the way that Jess tried to deny herself for fear of hurting Brittan. There were also some very witty moments in which I enjoyed the connection between the two lead characters in this book. To me, it was better than a romance, because that wasn’t the objective of the story.

I liked the way the story wove around and through the graveyard leading to a climax against a superpower of vampires. I love the use of the settings and it didn’t feel like they were there because it was a vampire story. They were there because they were part of the story.
The action was well paced and I didn’t feel the story lag at any time. I often kept reading because I felt drawn to by the wonderful wording.
This is the first in a series of stories about Jess and her band of Vampire Hunters. This is the only book I have read in the series at this stage.
I would give this 4 out of 5 stars.”
“3.5 stars, hard to rate this book went from exciting to dragging several times for me. I was tired of hearing the two main characters thought on how they can't have the one they want, ok enough already, beating a dead horse... I am still not sure why they wanted each other so desperately, didn't catch that. The rest of the story had good action scenes and interesting characters for the most part. I would have liked to have more of the extras and less of the lusty ex cop and the vampire. The sad thing is that it really was a good story, it needed some serious editing. I found myself at the 60 % point just sick of the book, towards the end it got really good. I think the writer has a good future, she has talent. I hope she avoids the trap of cashing in on the smexing up of a story just to sell i”
