I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Catch Me is a very good continuation of a great series. Val adds to her responsibilities as Paladin, and continues to whoop vampire butt in this volume. The reader is introduced to a new character, Ivy, who becomes Val's new roommate and more. Drama continues with Shade, though it's fairly clear Val's affections have moved on to Austin. My only issue with this book is that though she has had a sexual relationship with Shade, Val seems very inexperienced and still somewhat immature in her hesitation, nervousness, and shyness around Austin. Though I don't mind the waiting, I'd like her to own her sexuality more and accept both she and Lola have sensual needs. I'm looking forward to her continued attraction and eventual consummation of her relationship with Austin in future volumes.
Recommended for high school and new adult audiences.

Catch Me by Parker Blue is the sixth book in The Demon Underground series. Val Shapiro is half demon and half human. She is also a succubus, the paladin for the San Antonio area, and the slayer (quite a combination). This makes for a complicated relationship with her new beau, Austin who is a vampire (should be interesting). Austin is one of three lieutenants to Alejandro, the leader of the New Blood Movement. Then Alejandro goes missing and the rogue vampires are creating havoc. The vampires start competing to be the new leader (more trouble). Val along with her faithful (and snarky) hellhound, Fang need to find Alejandro before war breaks out (Val does not want anything to happen to Austin who is a target). Can Val find Alejandro in time? What happens when ex-boyfriend, Shade enters the mix? You will need to read Catch Me to find out!
Catch Me is told from Val and Austin's points-of-view. There are quite a few characters in Catch Me and it gets confusing. This novel is not fast paced (it was slow going). You do need to read the previous books in the series in order to understand what is happening in Catch Me (or you will be totally lost). I liked Fang (Val's hellhound). He had a quirky sense of humor and I liked his comments. I did not enjoy Catch Me as much as I thought I would. This book is aimed at a younger audience (who I believe will love the book) and has the requisite romantic issues for Val and Austin. I give Catch Me 3 out of 5 stars.
