Publisher Description
A vampire hit man’s passion for a human woman puts his entire clan at risk in this steamy paranormal romance by the author of Eternal.
In the quiet coastal town of Clare Point, Delaware, the Kahill vampire clan has maintained its undead way of life for centuries—a way of life that sometimes involves killing. As a member of the clan's kill team, Liam McCathal targets only the worst kinds of criminals. Except that lately, he’s gotten a little too good at it. A little time back home at his antique store should help him cool off—until a gorgeous, exotic woman named Mai walks through the door and gets his blood running hot.
Liam's not in the habit of making friends. But something about Mai ignites a spark he hasn't felt in over a century. When Mai's uncle is killed and her father threatened, Liam decides to put his unique skills back into practice. But taking on a ruthless crime boss puts every vampire in Clare Point in danger of discovery. And it seems more than one clan in the area has its share of secrets.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Forrest's third Clare Point vampires novel (after Eternal and Undying) gets deeper into the world of vampires who are cursed by God to be reborn as teens until their souls are purged of evil. Religious soul-searching is central to the character of Liam, a vampire hit man who slays murderers, pedophiles, and serial killers. When he meets Mai Ricci (annoyingly referred to as an "HF" for "human female"), he becomes involved in protecting her from the men who killed her uncle. Solving the mystery behind Mai's uncle's involvement with the Mafia takes a backseat to the doomed attraction and affection that grow between Mai and Liam. While there are plenty of steamy sex scenes, it's Mai's elderly, pretending-to-be-crazy father who often steals the show, and the friendships and histories among characters in Clare Point make the setting worth returning to.
Customer Reviews
Apt title: Book left me hungry for more...
I enjoyed the book until I reached the ending, which was very unsatisfying. If you like things to be resolved when you finish a novel, this is not the book to read. Spoiler Alert: The villain escapes and the lovers go their separate ways! As a reader who was totally engaged with the the characters, I feel cheated...
