Description from the publisher:
Vampire.
Bounty Hunter.
Middle-aged babe. Maybe?
Now that Hailey is solidly settled in Philadelphia and her new vampire life, she's setting roots, tracking down criminals, and taking names. Things have happened so fast starting the moment she moved into her new home.
But she's not one to sit on her duff and let life pass her by. Even an undead life.
With her best friend, new friends, and her Mr. Buttinski Brother, Hailey is ready to take on the world and deal with what life has given her, one night at a time.
But she didn't bargain for taking on the vampire elder council. Yeesh. This may be a little more than she can chew... er, suck. Bite?
Somehow, Hailey must pass their challenges and survive the next bit of shocking news coming her way. Something a certain vampire maker is going to drop in her lap during the big trial with the elders.
She's going to make it work and get herself and Jax out of this mess. These elders got nothing on Hailey Whitfield.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you’ve read the first book, you knew it was coming. Hailey and Jax have to defend her existence to the Vampire Elder Council. They don’t seem to have a snowball’s chance in Luci’s home, until Hailey is given a challenge that appears to be in her wheelhouse of skip-chasing. Then the council starts adding rules that basically tie her hands behind her back. Hailey and her friend’s prove their intelligence in finding loopholes, locating resources, and standing their ground.
Just when it appeared that success wouldn’t even prove victory, Jax pulls out his secret.
I guessed early on what Jax’s ace-up-the-sleeve was… it’s kind of obvious… but it is oh-so-delicious when that bomb is dropped towards the end of the book. Plus, it sets us up for the next story in the series. I’m looking forward to where this leads us!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
