Susan Michaels was the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat, until a major scandal ruined her life and left her writing stories about alien babies and Elvis sightings. Life as she once knew it is over, or so she thinks until she gets a lead on the biggest story in town: "The Seattle Slayer". She heads to the local animal shelter, expecting a tip on the latest rash of killings. Instead, she gets a story about the mayor feeding citizens to a ring of vampires...yeah. Just another day in her life. Then she gets talked into adopting a cat she's allergic to. Her first thought is to neuter the cat. But when he turns out to be a gorgeous shape shifting man who claims to be an immortal vampire slayer she thinks: Not so fast. Next thought: seek professional help. Susan doesn't know what to believe, but as she's drawn into his paranormal world, she comes to realize that the story she thought could bring her credibility is just too unbelievable to expose. Now it's no longer a question of bringing the truth to her readers, it's a matter of saving lives and souls, and her only ally is a man she's allergic to. In the world of the Dark-Hunters, life is always dangerous.
But never more so than when one very human woman can shatter their entire world with just one story. The only question is...will she?
I’ve never read a Dark-Hunter book before, so I wasn’t sure when I picked it up if I would be lost or not. I wasn’t too lost! The politics of it all is a little confusing and I’m still not sure I grasp it all, but the characters were great and the story was interesting. There were references to a few things in the past, but I’m not convinced they were actually covered in another book. Overall, I really enjoyed this, and will likely look for others by Kenyon.
