Publisher Description
Meet your new paranormal addiction: the mouthwatering brothers of the Dragoumanos line. As a red-hot series begins, a vampire king seduces the supernaturally gifted man hunting him—and the stakes are literally life or death.
Benjamin Fuller is a hunter, born and bred. Blinded as a child by the vampire who slaughtered his family, he’s blessed with a second sight that allows him to catch and kill his quarry. What his gift can’t help him see coming is his fierce, almost carnal attraction to the mystery man who claims to be a fellow hunter and whose touch triggers both lust and revulsion. When he gains the upper hand, Benjamin vows to bring his enemy to his knees.
After many years spent in exile, the only one who can help restore Tzadkiel Dragoumanos to his rightful place as War King is a blind hunter with golden curls, a lithe dancer’s physique, and distinctive facial scars—scars Tzadkiel gave him two decades ago. The mere scent of Benjamin Fuller provokes an unwelcome rush of insatiable desire. Yet to win an all-out supernatural war, Tzadkiel must resist the ravenous hunger to possess his prey—for now.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Armstrong (Numbers Game) begins a contemporary paranormal romance series with this uneven, unexciting romantic thriller. Benjamin Fuller was blinded as a child during a vampire's escape from his vampire-hunting family's cellar. Now grown, he has his family's house on Beacon Hill and a hunting career of his own, but he's an alcoholic struggling to find meaning in his life. Tzadkiel, War King of Boston's vampires, went to ground to heal after Benjamin's uncle poisoned him; 20 years later he returns, wanting vengeance. The complicated paranormal politics of area witches and fae push the two together, and they find themselves better allies than enemies. Although the strengths and limitations of Benjamin's blindness are well depicted and the chemistry between the leads rings true, the political machinations don't warrant the time spent on them, and the very real reasons for the leads to hate each other vanish into the mist of mutual attraction far too easily.
