New York City’s hottest young reporter, Vicky Ramos, thought she'd seen it all. A media sensation who reported on everything from murder to political corruption, she’d seen everything under the sun. But she soon learned that some things only come out at night. Strange new visitors arrive in The Big Apple, who originate from the shadows. Vicki encounters these night stalkers and discovers there's more to them than she imagined. She comes face to face with the sacred and the profane, in a battle against the greatest evil she has ever known.

This book might be good for those who like traditional vampire lore and Christian mythology. It was a miss for me, given I like neither, but I will get into some of the things that I found interesting about it in this review.
Marcus was a decent character. Most of the side characters I didn't really remember nor connect with, but they showed up a couple of times and connected with the protagonist Vicki. Alexander is someone I did remember as being particularly nasty earlier in the story, but otherwise generally someone with humor, I think.
Vicki was an okay protagonist. I didn't particularly connect with her nor like her. She was very judgmental, particularly toward those who went to the club. She was tolerable, though, and her heroics were decent.
The romance was fast. Very much NOT a slow burn. They had a couple of interactions before getting together. For those who like speedy romance therefore with little buildup, you would enjoy such a ship.
The vampire lore I found interesting was the mist and the fact that vampire souls are in purgatory as opposed to hell, I guess. Also, not all bites turned, but rather Elders have to turn. Otherwise, the vampire lore followed the typical lore bestowed by western Christian mythology, which I don't really enjoy. I'm not really a fan of Christian mythology, and that was prominent in this work. Which is fine, I am sure, for some people. But as a personal preference, it was a miss.
All in all--if you like Christian Mythology and a typical vampire story, you'll like this. The battle/action scenes were well fleshed out. The vampires have a mission to find 'salvation' because they are monsters and want 'forgiveness', so that's a look into the plot and their general objective. Otherwise, it didn't bring anything new to the table.

A blend of horror and romance
I'm not generally a fan of vampires getting involved with humans, but this was very well done. The motivations of Marcus and his friends are understandable and relatable, and Vicki Ramos is a badass. The plot has a strong spiritual edge that is usually missing from vampire stories, which is odd considering that the lore is steeped in religious iconography.
