“You’re not damned when you become a vampire. 
You’re not damned by what you are. 
It’s what you do that determines, whether you’re damned or not, if Hell even exist."
 
I’ve never read a paranormal detective story so this one really intrigue me right from the premise! 
The storyline is pretty unique where our FMC – Jennifer Jones is a vampire detective who works to solve supernatural cases. 
 
I really enjoy my time getting to know Jennifer Jones throughout the story along with following the investigation of a serial killer. There’s no info dumping and I can follow the plot easily, although there are quite a lot of characters to keep track of, not to mention there’s two different timelines as well. 
 
The last few chapters are quite intense and I was slightly heart-broken by the ending, but I’m curious to see what happens next, what kind of cases will Jennifer and her friends solve next time…. 
 
Overall, for a debut novel this was pretty good and enjoyable. 
It’s a good start for a series and has the potential to be one of my favorite series, but we’ll see.. 
I’m looking forward to read the sequel of this trilogy soon!
