What an intriguing twist on classic vampires. Alexis Black is a vampire turned supernatural beings assassin. She was approached by an angel who would turn her back into a human if she killed a supernatural being every night for 50 years.
This was an imaginative story. I know that the whole "vampire killing vampire" thing is not a new concept, but the way Jenn Windrow writes it, it becomes a new concept. Alexis is not only a vampire, but she also happens to contain the soul of another vampire to help her with her angelic contract. We watch Alexis struggle with her bloodlust, her backstory, and even her current life.
Every character was fantastic. There were layers to each that was peeled away as the book went on. And the growth of the relationships was absolutely phenomenal. We watch Alexis and Reaper (her human partner) go from unlikely partners to a semi-friendship. And there are many more relationships in this novel.
Honestly, my only complaint comes from the use of the quote "big cajones". I realize this is a fairly common quote, but cajones actually means drawers and not balls as many people think. (I used to as well and just recently got informed about it). But if that's my only complaint, that's pretty awesome. I want to read the next book so badly.
