Vincent Adcock is a hunter. He turns predators into prey. It’s the choice he made after being inflicted with a thirst for blood at the hands of a wicked seductress almost two-hundred years ago. Abigail Cooper is a medium. A gift passed down by her grandmother. When her younger sister goes missing, she travels to New Orleans compelled by visions of the city and a mysterious man with golden eyes. When Abigail is taken unawares by a predator in a dark alley, the man in her visions comes to rescue her. With limited memory of her attack, she goes in search of the man she knew was the key to helping her find her sister. Only Vincent had other things in mind when she showed up at his penthouse high above the city.

A story about vampires set in my favorite city - sign me up. I really enjoyed that Vincent had traits that are unique as well as some typical vampire traits. There was a real complexity to his character and motivations that made him fall in the gray area that I find so appealing. The chemistry between him an Abigail was lovely with just enough dark to appeal to me. I also liked that there was more layers to the story than a romance, in fact the other layers were dominate in many places, giving things a snappy pace and plenty of tension and suspense. While I tried to figure out the vampires who surrounded Vincent, Abigail searched for her sister and things wove together seamlessly.
