Synopsis
Half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her undead partner Bones have been together for six years and have survived many battles, including a blood bond that tied them together. They plan a quiet trip to Paris. Instead, Cat is woken by terrifying visions of Gregor, a vampire who is stronger than Bones and who has a connection to Cat's past that she never knew about. Cat and Bones must work out what he wants and how he is linked to her before the danger follows them.
