Blurb: Arrigo Giancarlo’s friends think he’s a rich young man with the unusual job of paranormal investigator, working with his psychic assistant in Las Vegas. In truth he’s a two-thousand-year-old vampire and member of the Chiaroscuro, a group of Supernaturals dedicated to keeping humanity safe from the more dangerous of their kind. He’s also openly bisexual… but alone.
When he spots Luc St. John in a bar, Arrigo is intrigued. What begins as an effort to repay the kindness shown to him in the past quickly turns into much deeper feelings for the suffering and displaced Cajun. For Luc’s part, he feels too poor, too uneducated, and too bound to his hateful family to ever be worthy of elegant and cultured Arrigo.
An old enemy, Eleni, blames Arrigo for murdering her true love. On the anniversary of that death, she’s back to take revenge. As Arrigo’s closest friends fall victim to savage attacks, he fears nothing will keep Luc safe. Should he break both their hearts and let Luc go, or is it too late? If Luc’s already in Eleni’s sights, Arrigo knows that like most things in Vegas, the odds are against him..

Reviewer: Shorty
Review: Luc is trying to get away from his abusive father and brother. He does everything he can to save up money. He meets Arrigo, a vampire and ghost hunter. These two hit off but it’s not like in most books. They take their time as the story progresses. Luc feels Arrigo is his protector and as a result grows as a person.
I liked the story but felt there were a few thing lacking. The actual paranormal seemed just words as well as the council as nothing came about from anything. I thought perhaps this was a the beginning of a series due to the unanswered questions left at the end.
Aside from these things it was an interesting read with plenty of mystery, angst and finding ones self through the pain in their live.
Good read.
