Good read - action paranormal with vampires and werewolves [oh my!]. Heroine works for the government as a psychologist interrogating captured vampires and werewolves which she has been told are horrible, marauding creatures bent on destroying humans. She wakes up from an erotic dream as she is being kidnapped by two men who eventually inform her she half vamp/half werewolf - and the daughter of the leader of the lycans who was murdered in the opening scene. She tells them they've got the wrong girl and she's human. [Caveat here, you'd think someone would have been watching carefully enough to notice that her only reaction to the idea of werewolves and vampires is that she isn't one...] After being told about her family, which she doesn't believe a word of, she is informed she will have to have simultaneous sex with the lycan and vamp guys who kidnapped her to bring out her latent characteristics. Fortunately they're hot...

The plot continues to thicken with various additional attempted murders and ambushes; and, of course, the various sex scenes as they build up to the final menage scene. The bad guys are fairly obvious to the reader but a few things are left unresolved at the end of the book when the bad guys get their throats ripped out. Who were the humans and where did they get the weapons in the ambush? And are there more of them?

Final resolution [after she tells them about her government job] is they plan to use her to rescue the captured lycans and vamps... Despite this setup it seems to be a stand alone title, at least for now.
