A week before Lenore Warwick's 21st birthday, she's kidnapped by the brooding and dangerous stranger with cold eyes and a lethal touch, who has been stalking her on San Francisco's fog-shrouded streets. Absolon "Solon" Stavig isn't your average criminal though. He's a centuries-old vampire who's caught between wanting to kill Lenore and wanting to save her.

You see Lenore, too, is a vampire. She just doesn't know it yet.

Taken by a pair of vampire slayers when she was just an infant, Lenore was raised never knowing her true nature. All Lenore knows is that she has (normal) parents who love her, that she's exceptionally smart, and she's squeamish around blood. But once she turns 21, she'll fully turn into a vampire, and Solon hopes he'll be there to guide her, opening her eyes to her deepest hunger...both sexual and otherwise.

But this turning can't be kept a secret. Soon both slayers and vampires are hunting Lenore, with only Solon and his unpredictable motley crew of vampires to save her.

Contains mature themes.

I loved this story! The narrator did a good job as well. Enemies to lovers and the build up is so worth the wait! The chemistry between Lorene and Solon. Wow oh wow!! Do not sleep on this

Loved, loved, LOVED!!!

I think the concept of this story is good, with intriguing settings and half-decent characters. Despite this, the execution has left me with the impression of reliving someone's wet dream fantasy. I feel like 90% of the book was 'waaaah I've been kidnapped and I'm horny' when there were multiple, and I mean MULTIPLE points where an actual plot-driven story could have occurred and didn't.

This unfortunately, is one of the most frustrating points of this novel as the characters are compelling and the story feels like it's right there to grab but instead has taken a backseat to numerous sex scenes when they could have been riding shotgun, creating a good balance between plot and steamy intimacy. While the intimate scenes were well written enough, I read instead of watching to have some kind of story with my spice- a little more context to invest in, and this unfortunately didn't deliver that and I really wish it did.

Wish there was more to it....

Narrator was pretty monotone. It was much harder to get into the story because the narratoring was so distracting

Would Probably Be Better With a Different Narrator

I had a hard time listening to this book. I found the narrator to be monotone, she sounds like she. Is bored reading this book. If you’re looking for hot and steamy look no further. There is a story behind all the 🔥🧯

Hot and steamy

Enemies to lovers. Loved all the main characters. I wish there was more character development on the big bad villains. But overall a great stand alone story.
