About this eBook

FBI Special Agent Duncan McGuire spends his days—and his nights—tracking real-life monsters. Most humans aren’t aware of the vampires and werewolves that walk among them. They don’t realize the danger that they face, but Duncan knows about the horror that waits in the darkness. He hunts the monsters, and he protects the innocent. Duncan just never expects to become a monster. But after a brutal werewolf attack, Duncan begins to change…and soon he will be one of the very beasts that he has hunted. 

Dr. Holly Young is supposed to help Duncan during his transition. It’s her job to keep him sane so that Duncan can continue working with the FBI’s Para Unit. But as Duncan’s beast grows stronger, the passion that she and Duncan have held carefully in check pushes to the surface. The desire that is raging between them could be a very dangerous thing…because Holly isn’t exactly human, not any longer. 

As the monsters circle in, determined to take out all of the agents working at the Para Unit, Holly and Duncan will have to use their own supernatural strengths in order to survive. But as they give up more of their humanity and embrace the beasts within them both, they realize that the passion between them isn’t safe, it isn’t controllable, and their dark need may just be an obsession that could destroy them both.

Ratings and reviews

This book was a very good read, with just enough length to keep you on your toes. The only real problems that I had with the book was all of the spelling mistakes, and the extreme use of adult language every page (if there was a warning in the description then I didn't read it please ignore that last statement)

This is one of the very best paranormal romance books I've read in a vampires age. This book will keep you on your toes, turning pages and aching to find out what happens next. The plot drives the romance more than the romance drives the plot, but that only makes the connection the leads share even more intense. You have to read this book, you'll love it. I know I did.

Leaves you wondering just how many of these characters can be trusted. The love story is ok but they never develope quite the depth one would like. Overall enjoyable read with enough twists and surprises to be a nice entertaining few hours.
