Langdon Wilkes is a reluctant – and somewhat bumbling – hunter. But as the son of the Institute for Paranormal Study and Prevention's headmaster, London's premier institution for hunting supernatural creatures of all kinds, it's his future and his family's legacy. That is, until a near-death experience with a vampire puts him on a collision course with Wells Hudson and his sister, Naomi, and the course of his life changes entirely. Wells Hudson is a hunter of creatures by circumstance, not choice. He is simultaneously keeping the family business afloat, protecting his younger sister, and shielding their father – driven mad by ghost possession – from scrutiny. Running into the likes of Langdon Wilkes doesn't help, either. It's hunters like Wilkes that put hunters like Wells out of business, after all. Especially when it means constantly getting Wilkes out of nasty scrapes. But they must band together when Langdon's best friend is captured and turned by vampires, Wells discovers a plot by Wilkes's father to bind and control creatures through a strange and outlawed blood magic, and both boys realise they can no longer hide their growing feelings for one another. It's kill or be killed, and the thrill of a chase like no other.
"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."
~Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights (1847)~

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
