This was definitely a book RIGHT UP MY STREET!
Good storyline, sexy vamps, sexy weres....what more could a paranormal lover want!!
Dont want to give the whole storyline away so will try to make you want to read it without telling you too much!
Like alot of para books, weres and vamps are arch enemies. no difference here.
The only difference is that our main character Kate is neither...yet...
As an assassin for his pack, Domonic is sent to literally find Kate and shoot and kill he before she can turn....
...bit of a problem there. He likes what he sees, and although he tries to make excuses as to why he cant pull that blasted trigger and finish the job...its obvious as to why.
Kate is a normal human to us. Oblivious to what lies in store for her when she turns 25, Kate, loves life, loves her work as a nurse, does charity work, has a great friend - is a generous, loving and innocent human.
But come 25. all that will change.
The vamps dont know that the weres are aware of Kate - well more aware, are tracking her every move, and in Dominic's case, dating her every night he can! So most of the book goes without Vamps even being involved.
Dominic has fallen totally for kate, despite what will be, he proposes to her (and keeping in mind here that kate has no idea hes a were). Madly in love she happily accepts.
Then the story turns. Dominic tells Kate everything.
She doesnt believe him until around her birthday she is whisked away by the Vamps and headed for the "father land" of Italy.
Dominic is distraught, his father and family are disgusted with him. Kate is faring much better...
Ok, leave it there. I really did enjoy reading this, and i do say, i will DEFINITELY be picking up the second in the series when it comes out!

I liked this story a lot, it was a good read and there were parts I really loved. I enjoyed Kate and Dominic's interactions and their growing relationship. I liked their chemistry a lot. I also liked the conflict and inner turmoil that was involved.
When Kate's world is turned upside down, everything seems pretty abrupt and matter of fact. I like how she dealt with it for the most part even though she was very conflicted a lot of the time. During the second half of the book, I felt bad for Dominic and Kate and all they were going through. There was just so much longing and it was rather heartbreaking. I liked the growing friendship between Kate and Alex as well but I never liked Alex like I liked Dominic. He was intriguing but I never fully trusted him, it was like he had an ulterior motive I didn’t know about.
There was a section in the middle where I thought things were a bit drawn out and I was ready for some action, by the time the ending came around, I wasn’t disappointed. There were some emotional times at the end with drama mixed in and I was happy with the conclusion. I can see with how it ended where a second book would come into play (and yes, there will be a book two – Dark Redemption).
This was a love story with paranormal characters involved. I liked the storyline, characters, the bit of heat, and drama. Definitely a good read.

Werewolf Dominic Ridolfi has been sent to kill Kate, a woman who unbeknownst to her, is from a long line of vampires. It should have been straight forward, but Dominic finds himself drawn to Kate even though an attraction between the two would be forbidden. When Dominic ends up rescuing Kate, he can't stay away and finds himself falling hard for her and it is mutual.
Everything combusts though when the inevitable happens and Kate turns. Everything Kate thought she knew about Dominic is a lie, or is it. Now the vampires have found her and she is learning about her past, but who can she truly trust?
Highly entertaining red. I so wanted Dominic and Kate to defy the rules. Had a few surprising twist, well worth picking up for shifter/vampire fans.

This is the debut novel by Elle Bright and this paranormal tale is based on the werewolf versus vampire theme. Kate is the key to the fulfillment of a prophecy that she isn't even aware of. Kate has nightmares where she sees a version of herself that is evil and she is being chased by a dark creature that she can't quite make out or recognize. Her parents died in a car accident when she was very young and she was adopted soon after, so Kate has no real sense of her family history, and absolutely no clue what her true self is and what it means to be a Cacciatori. Dominique is the werewolf who has been tasked to kill Kate and remove the threat the she represents to his kind; however when he sees her in person for the first time he finds that he can't follow through with killing an innocent. There is also the problem of her bringing out a strong desire to protect her and the urge to see her as his "Il cambiamento", his true mate. When Kate is faced with what she is she has real difficulty coming to terms with being a vampire and what that means for her. Alexander and Massimo help her to adjust, but Alex has more than a platonic interest in Kate. There were several instances in this story where I really, really wanted to smack Kate around a bit. I get that she was having difficulty adjusting and accepting the changes that were being forced upon her, but seriously, I just wanted her to get on with it already and suck it up. So I suppose that Elle did her job as writer when you want to pimp slap the heroine! There were some parts of the story that felt as though it didn't flow as well as others, but all in all a good first book.This title is available at Amazon for $2.99 so it's a good price for a full length book. This is the first in a new series and the second book in the series will be titled
Dark Redemption.
