The first in Anya Bast's Embraced series - a well written action oriented vampire paranormal. Bast brings her own 'twist' to the vamp thing by having 'second class' vamps who live off sex energy and the more powerful blood drinkers. Those humans turned but not born to be a vampire mostly end up as Demis. Vampires have evolved to protect humans by fighting the Dominion.
The Dominion are beings who live in another plane who normally 'haunt' the dreams of humans or possess humans so they can suck all the joy and love out of the individual's existence. At intermittent intervals they try to break through into our world and do it wholesale - and the latest effort is going to be in Gilded Age New York.
Bast does her usual outstanding job of introducing multiple fascinating characters with their own plots and then weaving them into the main plot.
I read the second book first - and frankly I should have started at the beginning. Order is important.
