Dark Side of the Moon (Dark Hunter, #10) - Sherrilyn Kenyon ★★★1/2
Angry that he'd allowed himself to be caught like this, he manifested a stake in his hand. "You know the legend. Stab them in the heart and they'll die." He handed her the stake.
Susan's eyes held a degree of fear as she wrapped her hand around the stake and offered him a brave smile. "Call me Buffy. I'm even blond, but don't ask me to wear a halter top."
Susan Michaels was once a big shot reporter in D.C. until a big story she released backfired on her. She lost almost everything in the fallout. Now she's working for a crazy newspaper that has articles titled like "Boy Eaten By Killer Moths." She thinks they're loony, but she needs a job. Her boss assigns her to look into a blog about a catman, but before she can look into it she gets a frantic call from her only remaining friends telling her they've uncovered something huge. After meeting her friends at the animal shelter, she's told that someone high up they police chain is pulling strings and making missing persons cases disappear. To keep up with pretenses, when she leaves the shelter she takes a cat with her.
When Susan gets home the cat has disappeared and there's a man passed out on her floor. If that isn't enough, the cops show up at her door and bust in for no reason. Next thing she knows, she's been accused of murder and finds herself in a world she never knew existed. She decides she's going to stay close to her catman since it appears that he's bulletproof. Too bad she's allergic to cats.
This was another fun story by Kenyon. This time there's a new twist. It's not just Stryker and his crew out to get the dark-hunters. They've teamed up with humans. The story itself is not as cutesy or pain filled as a lot of the other books. Both Susan and Ravyn have a traumatic past, but it's not written as forcefully as some of the other ones. Although, I'm somewhat traumatized by the end of the story. Events happened that I never expected. This is all leading up to something big and can't wait to find out what that is.
