Goodreads Summary: To stop a vampire killer, she’ll have to slay her own demons first.

A provocative and savvy vampire, Alexandra Sabian moves to the sleepy hamlet of Jefferson, Mississippi—population 6,000, half vampires—to escape the demons lurking in her past. As an enforcer for the Federal Bureau of Preternatural Investigations (FBPI), Alex must maintain the uneasy peace between her kind and humans, including Jefferson’s bigoted sheriff, who’d be happy to see all vampires banished from town. Then really dead vamps start turning up—beheaded, crucified, and defanged, the same gruesome manner in which Alex’s father was murdered decades ago. For Alex, the professional has become way too personal.

Things get even more complicated when the FBPI sends in some unnervingly sexy backup: Alex’s onetime mentor, lover, and fiancé, Varik Baudelaire. Still stinging from the betrayal that ended their short-lived engagement, Alex is determined not to give in to the temptation that soon threatens to short-circuit her investigation. But as the vamp body count grows and the public panic level rises, Varik may be Alex’s only hope to stop a relentless killer who’s got his own score to settle and his own bloody past to put right.

Review: 
I think that the idea of having a vampire federal investigation unit is quiet cool, but I could only rate this book 2 and half because I honestly am not really into cop books. This took some serious skimming. Alex somewhat annoyed me. In the beginning of the book she seemed like a strong person and as the book went on, she seemed to behave more and more like a snotty little teen. I get that your brother is missing but come on, there is no need to become a class A bitch. In many parts the writing was sluggish (hence the skimming) and somewhat repetitive when describing something. The vampires themselves to me just seemed like a human with an occasional blood lust, which disappointed me. I am all or creativity and coming up with new things for such an awesome mythical creature, but come on! I have no idea if I'm going to read the sequel, it will be put on my to read list and we will see where that goes.
