Poor Liam McCathal, a vampire assassin on vacation (well really, a cooling-off period, since he enjoys his work a little too much). He is forced to actually work in his antique shop instead of just stockpiling merchandise. Enter human female, Mai Ricci who also runs an antique shop but is fascinated with Liam and his disaster of a store. And let's not forget the mafia connection and Mai's dead relative. Now we have Liam trying to avoid said female, trying to solve Uncle Donato's murder, trying to save Mai's father from the same fate, waiting for the Council's determination on his assassin status, and getting his shop to a functional level. Yup, Liam's plate is definitely full.

I loved his vulnerability when it came to Mai and his suddenly human feelings. But I absolutely hated the lame ending.

Vampire assassin, Liam, taking some down time after his last, horrendous assignment leaves him with nightmares and possibly a punishment from the ruling Council for the methods he used.
He has an antique store in Clare Point, Delaware, a town run by vampires. Then Mai walks into his store looking for things for her own antique shop. Before you know it they are involved in murder, double-cross and the Mafia.
For me the story dragged on too long and had an abrupt ending. The most interesting part was Prince of dogs, a rat terrier belonging to Mai's father. It was nice catching up with Kaleigh again to see how she is maturing. But not interesting enough to keep my attention for long so only worth 3.5 stars from me.
