Blurb: 

Janie Grey is dedicated to hunting the undead, an inherited duty passed down from her Cherokee ancestors and generations of powerful Seekers before her. Then, there's Kai. He's like no one she's ever met - cocky, fast, skillful, infuriating and gorgeous. Not only has he become a valuable asset in her fight against the growing population of the vampire/demon hybrid known as Daychildren...

She's unwittingly fallen for him.

Just when Janie thinks she's learned everything there is to know about Kai's mysterious past, there's a newcomer to Baltimore. Someone who will do anything to make sure Janie loses Kai forever.

Character Bios

 Janie Grey

Experienced Seeker in Baltimore, who quickly learns that the training lessons she’s always followed don’t always apply. Especially when she meets Kai.

Kai Sterdam

“Daychild” or not! (I don’t want to spoil the story by revealing too much).

Kai is sarcastic and cocky, but loyal to those he cares for.

the vampire king.

Review:
    I loved Dark Return.It had fast paced action that kept my attention.I read it in less than a day because I could not put it down.The romance in the book is filled with wittiness and jealousy.It is this jealous that will threaten to break Kai and Janie.
    Kai has a dark past and wants to keep as much of it buried and unknown to Janie.However,Janie can tell when Kai isn't telling all and she believes she must know all for their relationship to work. Kai's attempt to keep the past hidden is futile when a woman from his past comes storming to town.Leah had been with Kai for as long as she can remember until Kai became no longer a Daychild. Leah and Kai were the first Daychildren turned by the vampire king.Now that king has sent Leah to take over the very city Kai now resides in,Baltimore.Leah is jealous of Janie and will do everything in her power to return Kai back into a Daychild. Will Leah succeed? Can Janie and Kai get over his dark past or will it destroy them?
