Original. From The Publisher: When vampire hunter Eden Faveau mistakes Laurent, a renegade vampire of Tribe Manticore, for her new partner, he's not about to correct her. He's stolen a laptop full of sensitive files from the Tribe leader, Justinian, and needs help cracking the encryption. At first he wants sexy and intelligent Eden only for her computer wizardry -- but soon he wants her for much, much more. Working by night and growing closer every day, Laurent and Eden struggle with the passion that threatens to overwhelm them. But when Justinian captures Eden, and Laurent proves his loyalty to his Tribe in the most shocking of ways, Eden vows to kill Laurent for his deception. Can he find a way to prove his love for her before a full-on war breaks out between vampires and humans?

Bad boys, naughty girls and lots of fun. Laurent is a male vampire who let Eden, a Vampire Hunter who is also a bit of a computer whiz, think that he is one of the good guys and her new partner. Laurent is on the run from his tribe with a laptop fill of sensitive information. How can this work out? Read on and see. An excellent book!

If you have read the trilogy published under the one title ‘Crave the Night’, you will understand the background to ‘Master of Darkness’. If you haven’t, I suggest you do, although it can stand alone. ‘Master of Darkness’ is more enjoyable than ‘I Thirst for You’ and ‘I Hunger for You’, two of the stories in the trilogy, but I don’t feel it is as well written as ‘I Burn for You’. Nevertheless, while the characters perhaps don’t have the depth of some other stories, Laurent, the vamp pretending to be someone else, is delightful.
In ‘Master of Darkness’, unwilling vampire hunter Eden Faveau is supposed to meet with a representative of Clan Wolf to discuss a new drug that allows Tribe vampires—they’re the ones you don’t want to meet on a dark and stormy night—to walk around in daylight. Instead she mistakes Laurent, a Prime from Tribe Manticore and already on the run from his fellow Tribe members, for her rendezvous, and Laurent isn’t about to explain the mix-up, not when she can offer him a safe place to hide out. So Laurent finds himself hunting, well, himself, and his colleagues, while Eden finds herself wanting to be hunted by Laurent, a very big no-no in her vampire hunting family. Toss in misunderstandings, kidnappings, and long lost family, and you have a novel that’s an agreeable way to pass time, although you know it has the potential to be much better.

#4 in the Vampire Prime Series
"Master of Darkness" is an exciting thriller starring an interesting female hunter, who does not like the occupation, and a rogue vampire who knows he has enough troubles, but cannot resist the lure of his partner. The pairing is a delight as they fall in love, but he hides who he is and his agenda from her; once she knows the truth he fears that his burning hunger for her will not be enough to overcome her thirst for the blood of her "Gambit" flowing from his corpse. The action-packed story line contains a twist that will make readers thirst for more of these delightful supernatural tales.
