This book was a five star book for me. It's one of my favorite stories. It follows the story of Cat, a halfhuman/halfvampire hybrid who, when she's not in college, hunts evil vampires. Bones is the intriguing master vampire who teaches her to hone her abilities to become an even better fighter. I loved the author's writing style. She has a way of sucking you in to the story and not letting go. This book will hold your interest from the start to finish. It's fast-paced, fun, amusing, sexy, and creative. The heroine is physically strong yet vulnerable in many ways. The hero is incredibly sexy, but also lethal. He is amazing.

There are some mild similarities between this book and the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", but there are so many differences that I didn't think of this as a ripoff of the show. While there is some steamy romance in the book, and let me tell you those scenes are very good, romance is really not the focus of the story. This first story in the Night Huntress series focuses on eliminating evil vampires who prey on humans and vampires alike. The ending will leave you unsettled, but get the second book at the same time you get this one so you know immediately what happens next.

Cat and Bones are two of the best vampire characters I've come across in paranormal and urban fantasy genres. They have such good chemistry. Their repartee had me laughing out loud. Bones is incredibly funny with his British witticism and unabashed way of talking. Get this book. It's even worth buying if you don't mind spending a few bucks at a bookstore.
