Fear of Darkness

---

SUMMARY

---

As a Watcher of the King's Guard, Vahe Patten hunts rogue vampires, ones who break their vampire laws. When dead bodies are left for the human authorities to find, their secret is out, and Vahe takes on the mission by seeking the next victim before the killer does—only to find her blood tasted sweeter than any he's ever had.

Natalya Woods just wants to avoid her abusive husband and live a normal life, but the small town of Haven has been anything but safe. When she's attacked in the streets, literally, by the man of her dreams, she finds herself kidnapped and putting her weapon skills to use—surprisingly not on her husband. Attraction and desire throws Natalya and Vahe in a bind as they work together to fight the killer, but will Natalya overcome her distrust of men and allow herself to take the risk to love?

Would you be able to walk away from the woman you love in order to protect her? Vahe knows that Natalya doesn't belong in his world. He is a Watcher, hunting down supernaturals when they cross the line. She is human. To have her in his world would put her in constant danger.

Vahe is tracking down a vampire that has been killing local humans when he meets Natalya. He instantly feels protective of her, especially when he finds that the vampire he is hunting plans to make her his next victim. He denies that he feels anything other than a physical attraction for her until he almost loses her.

Natalya has worked hard to escape her abusive husband. She has built a new life away from him but has always feared that he will come for her. Determined to never let another man control her, she is not ready to accept the feelings she has for Vahe. Will either of them be able to knock down the walls that have been built around their hearts?

FEAR OF DARKNESS is a fun, fast read with lots of action. The characters are intriguing and leave me wanting to learn more about them. I would love to travel with Vahe as he hunts rogue vampires and learn more about the first years of his life after being turned. There are hints that Natalya has unknown talents of her own, leaving me to wonder who she will become as she develops them.
