Susan Michaels was once the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat until a major scandal ruined her life and left her writing stories about alien babies and Elvis sightings. Life as she once knew it is over, or so she thinks, but then she gets a lead on a story that could salvage her extinct career. She heads to the local animal shelter, expecting a hot news tip, which she gets in the form of a major police cover-up . . . for a ring of soul-sucking vampires out to take over Seattle. So much for saving her credibility.And if that isn't bad enough, she gets talked into adopting a cat and finds she's allergic to it. A cat that turns out to be a shapeshifter who claims to be an immortal vampire slayer on the prowl for the same corrupt cops. Her first thought: seek professional help.But as Susan's drawn into Ravyn's dark and dangerous world, she comes to realize that there's a lot more at stake than just her defunct career. Now it's no longer a question of bringing the truth to her readers; it's a matter of saving their very lives and souls.Ravyn's life was shattered over four hundred years ago, when he mistakenly trusted the wrong human with the truth of his existence. He lost his family, his honor, and his life. Now, in order to save the people of Seattle, he's forced to confront that nightmare all over again, and to trust another woman with the secret that could destroy him. In the world of the Dark-Hunters, life is always dangerous. But never more so than now; when a very human woman can shatter their entire world with just one story. The only question is . . . will she?

"This was my very first dark hunter book, and when I first read it I loved it. Upon my most recent re-read, I don’t find it as impressive BUT, in spite of the main characters being very bland (so far within the series), there’s a certain sweetness to Ravyn and Susan.<br/><br/>Gonna say that I hate Ravyn’s name though. The entire time I was reading my brain kept replacing his name with Ryan, I hate stupid spellings of conventional names…she could have easily named him Raven and nothing would have been lost. I understand that etymologically there was a reason for spelling it Rayvn, but it doesn’t make me hate it any less.<br/><br/>Five stars for the world building that was done, minus two stars for destroying Acheron’s character. Every novel leading up to this one leaves you shrouded in mystery as far as he is concerned - the glimpses into what Ash puts up with do nothing for his development and in fact regress him in the eyes of the reader. It makes him difficult to sympathize with, especially since his book is coming up rather soon.<br/><br/>Note: after publishing this review, I checked the spelling on his name and it’s Ravyn. Oops. Still dumb"
