Selina Grayson is a Magickal Fae with enhances senses. She's thrown into her friends bridal party and forced to wear a dress she can't help but dislike. She would rather be alone at home then deal with other people and Magickals alike in a dress which reveals too much skin for her liking.

Jack Laramie is a Normal (human) who world for the Magickal division of the FBI. He also has a few dark secrets that he keeps from others. He doesn't want his past to haunt him, but he can't help but feel that what happened was his fault and could have been prevents had he been there when needed, and

She is more determined then ever to catch this killer before another victim falls prey to this horror. She believes this is not a copycat, but the very same killer who viciously her last living relative 30 years ago.

Jack learns that he has to be professional and stoic around her and not show his feelings around her in public..after all this is just a friendship with benefits, or is it.

As the case escalates and more victims are found all over the country from the past 30 years they are growing more desperate to find this killer, then things take on a turn as Jack's own stepfather

This was a spellbinding novel and a gripping tale as the væmpires are almost superior to vampires in many ways - stronger, faster, and far more devious then anyone would have thought. I loved Cassie's determination not to give in and let the væmpires have their way with her and how she fought to be free and fight, even if just to see Daniel again. Daniel had to come into his rightful place as acting king and look at the bigger picture when he wanted nothing more than to be with Cassie. Seeing both of them fighting for each other was endearing and captivating as they would do whatever they could to end of the væmpires trying to kill them both. I give this a solid 4 stars.
