There’s only one substance on earth that can create a new vampire–the blood of a Chalice, a rare individual with magic in her veins. Atlanta’s human-vampire Civility Laws demand that if a Chalice is found, she must be destroyed. Vampire Teijon Reyes allowed the mortal girl Dessa Collier to live despite the threat she posed to society. If he ever finds her again, he will kill her, personal desires be damned.
Heiress to a family tradition of ward-working, house painter Dessa Collier has spent the past twelve years pretending vampires don’t exist. When a friend-enemy walks back into Dessa’s life after a decade-long absence, everything Dessa has been hiding from comes crashing down on top of her.
Thrown together on a mission to protect a city under seige, Dessa and Teijon can no longer hide from the powerful attraction that binds them…or the monsters out to destroy them.
My Thoughts
Emily has written a fast-paced story full of action, love, betrayal and a lot of blood shedding. I did miss a few answers in this story, one relation that ended abrupt and one character that was a complete waist and could be deleted if you ask me! aaah and then comes the cliffhanger, I really hate cliffhangers! Maybe the answers I am looking for will pop up in the second book. I just have to wait and see.Can’t wait!

Yes indd, Zsadist from BDB series is one of my favorites too!!
Thank you!
I am going to go with Eric Northman today – as this has to change with my mood and current read LOL Thank you for the fun. This looks like a really good read.
I love all the vamps in the Black Dagger Brotherhood. But I also love Bones from Jeaniene Frost’s series.
My favorite vamp is one of two. I love Matthew Clairmont from a History of Withches and J.M from BDB.
I think Vishious or Butch from BDB would be my favorite Vamp, but truly there are so many BA Vamps out there it is truly hard to pick just one.
I love Rhage from BDB… and since I can never pick just one… I also love Vlad from Night Huntress/Dark Prince.
Eric Northman from the True Blood series! Yum!
My favorite vampire is Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.
My favorite vamp is Zsadist from BDB series! Yummy!
I loved your review, the book sounds amazing!
