Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her as they face the nightmare together… Because once the first crimson drop falls, they will both be lost. He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect this endangered, alluring human- even if it means destroying his own kind. Now her survival depends on an immortal who lusts for a taste of her. But her family’s past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness-and a demon shapeshifter has marked Denise as prey. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows-her best friend is half-vampire Cat Crawfield-and she has already lost more than the average human could bear.

Publisher: The night is not safe for mortals. ✥ Night Huntress World - (2010-2011) These are spin-off novels featuring supporting characters in the Night Huntress universe. Now Cat will have to choose a side… and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. She’s amazed she doesn’t end up as his dinner-are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn’t have to be all bad. In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. Then she’s captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership. ✥ Night Huntress (Cat and Bones) - (2007-2014) Publisher: Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father-the one responsible for ruining her mother’s life. One night she meets Bones, a master vampire who defeats her and tricks her into assisting him on his own vampire-killing hunts. To avenge her mother, Cat spends her teen years seeking out and killing predatory vampires in local bars. ✥ Catherine (“Cat”) is a twenty-two-year-old Ohio farm girl who is the product of her human mother’s rape by a newly turned vampire. Each book has the same protagonist, same love interest and same cast with new additions throughout the series-another way it is different from the usual PNR format. NOTE: This series can be found on the Romance (PNR) side of the bookstore aisle but can easily belong in the UF section since the plots and the action throughout are dominant.
