Vampire Bait (The Angler Series Book 1) - by Annie Nicholas

 

Mysterious deaths have occurred in Budapest and vampires are suspected. Connie Bence fits the victim profile perfectly so her slayer boss sends her to draw out the vampires responsible, except when the bait is taken, the vampires escape with her as a hostage. She's hurled into vampire society, where she must face her greatest fear—her undeniable attraction to the vampire overlord Rurik. After her husband's death, Connie thought her heart too broken to ever love again, but the lure of an immortal man is strong. The body count keeps rising, the pressure is on, and the slayers want a stake through Rurik's heart. Is he guilty? Connie doesn't think so, but if not him, then who? If she doesn't find out soon, the people she cares about stand to become collateral damage. urban fantasy vampire book series

An enjoyable read ... from the beginning you do believe that Connie is playing a very dangerous game, anyone taking on Vampires must be pretty damn confident in their abilities. Her attraction to her target on this mission, Rurik, is instantaneous, and is the beginning of a spiral of mistakes that put her life and her heart in jeapordy.

I enjoyed this story - there was no long descriptions of places in Budapest, just enough to give your mind the pictures it needed to visualise in your mind what was happening.

As Connie had the ability for the majority of time to keep the Vampires out of her mind (unless she was drugged) I got the impression that she was made of tough stuff so I was a little surprised at how quickly she gave in to her attraction to Rurik, but it is a love story in the end, so I could deal with that.

The description of Rurik was great but I did not get a good feel of what Connie looked like .... I pictured her with dark hair .... apparently she was blonde.

If you get the chance to read this book, you will enjoy it. I am planning on reading the rest of the series when I get the chance.
