Lana falls so hard for Cherry, it's as if she had never been in love before. From their very first date, they can't keep their hands off each other.
But Lana is not the good girl her parents hoped for; she's something else entirely: a remorseless 450 year-old killing machine in a hot 21 year-old body.
And when the bullets start to fly, Lana will do whatever it takes to protect the girl she loves.

We also get a good look at her more devious side. Tapper gives an interesting and different insight to the makeup of the vampire, and I enjoyed seeing something new." http://www.vampireromancebooks.com/2015/07/review-midnight-cocktail-bloodlust-book-1/
