Plot Summary of Midnight Predator
"Turquoise Draka has a terrible secret, one that she has hidden from her Bruja clanmates- vicious bounty hunters competing for control. When Turquoise and her rival are given the most difficult jobs of their mortal lives- to hunt down and kill a feared and brutal vampiress- Turquoise finds herself not only feeling compassion for, but beginning to fall in love with Jaguar, a vampire/slave-trader whom she should detest most."
Sarah London, Resident Scholar

"Tuquoise Draka was once an ordinary girl, before she was made a slave by a vampire. After escaping from him she becomes a vampire hunter, now nearly 2 years later she gets a job to kill a vampiress Jeshickah, which also means that she will have to disguise herself as a slave and go into a place called Midnight, where she meets Jaguar, a vampire she begins to trust. Maybe too much?"
Kaela F, Resident Scholar
