A vindicer, Cherie Valencia is going after the monsters with a unstoppable gruesome vengeance - hoping to find the monster, a Shadow which only the mad would dare to go near, that killed her mother. Then she is captured by Dimitri and is forced into an unwilling partnership.
In exchange for information for her mother's killer, Cherie agrees to work with the drop dead gorgeous Dimitri - emphasis on the dead- until her battle skills are as deadly as him. She is amazed she hasn't ended up as dinner yet - was there even such things as good soul/flesh eaters? Pretty soon, she is a kickass hunter and... Dimitri is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a body of his own.
A battle between two evils has never been more heart stopping.
