“Blood is my bane, wolf, while moonlight is yours. In the end, we’re both monsters, you know.” Deep in the heart of L.A., in an area that cops and gangs fear, lone wolf Jared James stands guard, hoping to keep others from suffering a similar fate to the one he has endured. He is on a mission to find the monster that made him what he is. Meeting Kit, a feisty vampire with a mission of her own, will either help or hinder his chances to accomplish that goal . . . but could possibly bridge the divide between two species, and make the long nights much more interesting.
