Product Description:
The Crosse triplets have had a hell of a year. To their shock, their grandfather Darkheart revealed that the sisters hail from a long line of vampire slayers. According to legend, one of them is the new slayer. One can heal vampires. And one will turn into a blood-sucking vamp.
Professional vampire-hunter Jack Rawls believes sexy, cocktail-loving Kat is the vamp-to-be. Desperate not to turn fang, Kat enlists the wary Jack to help her find Maplesburg's 'vamp zero,' Cyrus Kane. With Kane dead—permanently—she might be able to stop the prophecy in its tracks. But Kat hadn't counted on her growing feelings for Jack, or the charisma and true evil of Kane

This is the second book in the Darkheart & Crosse series, what I am assuming will be a trilogy. It follows Dressed to Slay, a very enjoyable book, about pampered triplets who find out the hard way that they descend from a long line of vampire slayers. in the very first book Kat was expected to be the Daughter, the triplet who would have inherited the full helping of their mothers slaying powers. Despite her training though the daughter ended up being Megan and Kat found that killing vamps made her physically ill due to some kind of link with them. She surmised that she must be the prophesied triplet that would become vampire. It also did not help that she was temporarily sent to Hell.
In her own book Kat is feeling sorry for herself. She has bought the Hot Box and is turning it into her own personal playground, a male strip club. She has also been drinking like a fish. And aleinating herself from the family she fears she may betray by turning vamp.
This only gets worse when one of her handymen turns out to be a silver tipped nail gun weilding vampire hunter who has decided she is turning vamp and must be eliminated before become the subsequent dark queen. The two share a memorable evening but when dawn comes there are just more questions.
I could only give the story 3 stars for 2 reasons. The very first is that Kat falls so far down the spiral of feeling sorry for herself that she becomes way annoying. A very intriguing character previousely she just turns into a b with an itch as they say!Also the romance between her and the bounty hunter never gets fully and believably fleshed out to me. Too much dwelling on herself and being catty for that to happen. Actually, the ending was a bit abrupt as well...It is worth reading to get you through to Dead is the New Black, Tash the final triplets story, so lets just hope that one blows us away!
