Goodreads Summary:
Cheryl Erikson is a Vampire Hunter with a problem. A dangerous new drug named Plast has found its way onto the streets of Dallas. She would prefer to let the DEA and local law enforcement handle everything, but since the dealers also happen to be vampires, she has no choice but to step in and put a stop to it.

With the help of her best friend Virgil and a fellow Hunter named Tank, Cheryl must work to eradicate Plast from the streets of Dallas. It's a task that becomes more difficult as she comes under the gun, quite literally, from a contract out on her head. Coupled with a nosy police detective looking to peg her for a triple homicide, and a sudden interest in her activities from a powerful vampire recently arrived in the area, it's enough to force her to accept help from the least likely of sources, a mysterious Hunter named Rev. Through him, everything she thinks she knows, and everything she stands for, is challenged in ways she never imagined.


Review:
For those who know me by know I love my vampire's and so when I had the chance to read this one I eagerly accepted. What I found though was not the typical Vamp story I am used too. For one I admit I haven't read too many female vampire hunters, yes I watched Buffy but haven't read too many not yet anyway.

I found I really liked Cheryl,tough and badass while hunting but still has compassion for the humans that find themselves enthralled by the vampires. I also like the fact she began to question herself and why she was hunting in the first place.

As for the vampires, I really liked the way this author took the myth and made it his own. I hadn't thought there could be any more ways they could be 'born' from. I was wrong.

This was only my second urban fantasy I have read and though I miss the 'romance' of vampires,I can't help it I am sucker for it(pun intended)and seeing them as evil was a bit hard for me to get used too.

Overall I really enjoyed this book, the characters were well written and I just adored Virgil by the way. The plot ran smooth even after a bit of a slow start but it didn't hinder me, to want to stop reading it.

So would I recommend? Yes if you are the type that loves their vampires as the bad guys while the good guys(girl)are Vampire hunters. Please give this one a read. Good Debut for JJ Westendarp.
