There’s a new kind of vampire in the City of Angels.
Los Angeles Homicide Detective Kel Langston finds that out the hard way when he survives a brutal attack in a dark alley only to realize he’s been turned into a monster. Stuck halfway between the living and the dead, his existence becomes a nightmare war for control between his human side and the burning hunger that gnaws at him, urging him to do things no human should ever want to do.
And as if that isn’t enough, Kel finds himself forced into hunting the creatures that did this to him, a new kind of vampire humans don’t even know exist…a kind of vampire known only as Takers. Something he hates…and can’t resist…and doesn’t know how to kill.
Blood…souls…family…an urban fantasy sure to give you chills as you wonder if this is truly why criminals are criminals.
