About this ebook

New York Times bestselling sensation Gena Showalter enthralls with a dark, tantalizing world of humans, otherworlders, powers beyond imagining, and a seductive vampire undone by his insatiable hunger for one woman.

Growing up poor on New Chicago’s meanest streets, Ava Sans had two options: be the predator or be the prey. No contest. Now, working for Alien Investigation and Removal, she’s been ordered to capture the biggest, baddest warrior of all—a vampire too beautiful to be real, with the abilityto manipulate time. Once the leader of the entire vampire army, McKell has been deemed savage and unstable, spurned even by his own kind.

To McKell, humans should be nothing more than sustenance. Yet the petite, golden-skinned Ava is a fascinating contradiction—vicious yet witty, strong yet vulnerable, lethal but fiercely loyal. Against his better judgment, McKell craves that loyalty, and much more. When the chase leads to seduction, McKell and Ava will race to discover the truth about his past. But the answers will come at a price, even for a woman who thought she had nothing left to lose...

Ratings and reviews

This was a pretty good book, but there were a couple of things that repeatedly took me out of the story. Mainly the constant talk of butterscotch throughout the book. In these kind of stories, the main characters usually have a unique scent that their partners adore and use to identify them with, but the repeated mentioning of butterscotch was just too much. At first I went with it, but it got to the point where every time butterscotch was mentioned, I mentally rolled my eyes. Overall the book was just okay

Alpha male alert! And Ava is one tough heroine. She takes no cr@p from others. I like how Mckell wanted to pamper her...with Devyn's money. Hahahaha. That was really sweet.

This book is the best I've Read thanks showalter glade I'm one of many fans
