He saw her. He wanted her. And he paid for her.
Vampires aren't real. That's what Tela has always believed. Always known. But everything changes when the violent blood drinkers take over her home of Seattle and cut off the city from any outside help. Without any food or supplies she has only one option: Cooperate with the new regime and offer her blood in exchange for a comfortable life for her and her sister.
John came to Seattle for an escape. For freedom. For the possibility of a future. Policing the humans should be easy. They're smaller, weaker and, well, prey. But when he Tela is assigned to him, things are different. He isn't satiated by the taste of her blood. He hungers for so much more. More than she can give him and more than she can ever give him. Not while she's been bought and paid for by him.

This story grabbed my attention right away. And I'm not just talking about the mesmerizing eBook cover. Things in Tela's world were bad but things took an even worse turn for her and her sister at least for a while......
John is a mass of conflicting feelings towards humans in general and Tela in particular. He started out feeling like what happened to them made no difference to him. That is until he met Tela and then his life became more complicated. Also in his new ways of living.
They keep trying to fight it but the attraction between John and Tela just keeps growing. And it's so dangerous in so many ways. I liked the struggle that was added for John when it came to being a freed slave. I didn't see that coming. And it was like he was also living on the edge knowing that his freedom could be taken from him at any time.
I really enjoyed how the relationship developed between John and Tela even with how hopeless things were for them. Neither one of them could see a future for themselves as a couple. And it was something that they both really wanted even though they had such loyalty to each of their species.
The ending came with some MAJOR surprises that I didn't see coming but really enjoyed. And yes, I said surprises with an "s" because there were several.
