The vampire world is about to be annihilated and army major Ursula Carlson has to choose – follow her next in command’s orders and participate, or warn her friends and become a traitor to the only family she knows. 

As the just-removed leader of an elite team of vampires working with the military she has a bond with the vampire’s, and with Solomon more than a bond – there’s an attraction there that doesn’t make sense to an orphan with self-esteem issues.  So she’s on the run to save them and save herself.  But they’re outnumbered and despite the vampire’s strengths and talents, the army is closing in fast.   

Ursula is a great character.  She’s strong, smart and motivated, and as usual the authors support her character with a back story that gives her wonderful depth.  Solomon is a bit harder to get a feel for despite a really good back story told in flashbacks but he’s an obvious leader and compliments Ursula’s strength.  I’d like to see him challenge her a bit more, but it’s a full book in a relatively short format. It’s definitely Ursula’s story.  

As usual, J.M. Jeffries writing sucked me in on page one and kept me there through the end.  I can always count on them to offer strong, intelligent characters, dynamic plots and a fast pace, which is why I’ve been enjoying their work for so many years.
