Sandra "Dee" Daniels is one of the toughest hunters working for Night Watch and that, my friends, is saying something. As far as most people know, Night Watch is a multi-state bounty hunting agency with a main office in Dee's home city of Baton Rouge. The rumor is, Night Watch agents always catch their prey. That rumor is true. But there is more to Night Watch than meets the eye. Most of the criminals they hunt are Other. Vampires, shifters, warlocks, demons - when Other commit crimes it takes a very special kind of hunter to bring them in. Like their prey, most of the hunters at Night Watch are Other. But not Dee. She's human - the most badass, stake-wielding, butt-kicking, vampire-hunting human in the city.

Dee specializes in vamps because she truly, with all her soul, hates them. Taking them down is pretty much all she lives for. Now the word on the street is that a Born Master is in Baton Rouge. When it comes to vampires, the Born are a whole order of magnitude more powerful than the Taken. Few, ancient and very, very dangerous, a single Born could drown the streets of Baton Rouge in blood. Not that Dee's scared, exactly. She doesn't scare easily and she's determined to bring down the Born, even if she hasn't figured out how yet. Luckily, she seems to have acquired a new ally. Simon Chase is dark, hard, alluring and sexy as hell. He's also keeping secrets. Dee isn't sure what his game is and she knows she should be careful, but Simon is oh-so-hard to resist.

This is the second book in Cynthia Eden's Night Watch series, after Eternal Hunter. The paranormal world she's built in Baton Rouge is complex, sultry and multi-layered, giving it a strong sense of reality. That world provides the perfect backdrop for Dee's story, much of which takes place in the back streets and alleys of Baton Rouge's seedier side. The vampires in this world are hard-edged and volatile, which makes Dee's history and her personality that much more interesting and believable. Also, the secret Simon harbors provides some unexpected twists in Dee's search for the Born Master. As you might expect from Ms. Eden, there are several steamy sex scenes, but as you also might expect, they are always a part of the larger, well-crafted story and not something grafted on for the sake of titillation. Ms. Eden is a master of the paranormal romance and this is one of her best.

I'll Be Slaying You Night Watch Cynthia Eden 9780758234308 Books Reviews

Cynthia Eden is one of my favorite authors. She write Paranormal Romance detective type stories like no one else. Even when the book is not great, it is still very much worth reading. That is the case with this book. It it not her best, but it is still much better than most books in this category. To be fair, my expectations of her are always high, maybe too much so. Her Midnight series, followed by Immortal Hunter and now the Night Watch series are just the cream of the crop in this type of books in my opinion. Like all the books I just mentioned, I'll Be Slaying You has a suspenseful plotline which is never entirely predictable, strong characters, hot relationships, perfect pacing, and is thoroughly entertaining. So why the 4 stars? I have to agree with other reviewers that Sandra "Dee" Daniels was not my favorite female lead character. There is just something about her that exasperates me to no end. Something is missing with Dee which I just annot put my finger on. She is certainly spunky and strong, but she is hard to relate to, at least for me. On the other hand, I really liked Simon Chase as her leading man. He was not perfect, having his fair share of ulterior motives, but he was interesting and the reader cares about him getting his happily ever after. I don't want to give up any of the plot, since it is a pnr suspense story. I can say that regardless of the problems I found with the character of Dee, the book is still very good and I would most definitely recommend it. This is Cynthia Eden after all. Even when she is not her best, she is still heads above most others. I look forward to the third book in this series, Eternal Flame, since I find the character of Zane Wynter interesting.
Sandra "Dee" Daniels lost her entire family to vampires when she was just a kid. It was a brutal awakening to the world of Others that still rips her out of sleep with a scream on her lips. Since that bloody night, she's made it her goal to track and kill the vampires responsible - and until then, take down as many other fanged fiends as she can. Her job as a bounty hunter for Night Watch, a...specialty organization to say the least, keeps her connected to the baddies in Baton Rogue, and rumor is there's a Born Master in town - a vampire that isn't one of the changed Taken but an ancient evil that defies human comprehension for his ability to wreak nearly biblical destruction. If Dee doesn't stop him, the Born will make the town run red.

She prefers to work alone, but after a couple of run ins with the stranger Simon Chase - a sexy as hell bad boy intent on saving her ass whether she likes it or not, she finds out his past is similar to hers and he's out to take down the Born, too. Pairing up isn't her style, but in this case, accepting a hand may be the only way to keep from losing her head...unless bad boy Chase has his own agenda and isn't quite the knight in leather-clad armor he appears.

Without a doubt, Eden pens intense, kick ass action and offers up gorgeous alpha men for our reading pleasure, but in this book, she had her work cut out for her. We met Dee in Eternal Hunter and I quickly realized that while she's loyal to her friends, she's got issues a mile wide...the sort that would make her being the center of attention a potential problem. I can imagine not everyone is going to like Dee in I'll Be Slaying You, as she's not traditionally likable. I, however, did like her, much to my surprise, because while her blind prejudice and quick-to-condemn aggression aren't the most appealing traits ever, I couldn't help but admire the core of her. She's a girl who lost everyone she loved in brutal fashion at an incredibly impressionable age...stumbled upon her family's butchered bodies on the same night she went on her first date and got her first kiss, and despite a horror that would have sent most to the mental hospital, she found a way to make a life for herself - even if she is a bit screwed up from it all. Who the hell wouldn't be? She fights forces of darkness that she shouldn't be able to fight instead of screaming about life's injustices...or just plain screaming, locked up in a padded room somewhere, and I admire that about her, so yes, I like her, even with her flaws. And I appreciate Eden for not glossing over those flaws or eradicating them through the story arc of the book.

Liking her self-proclaimed partner in this book, Simon Chase, wasn't hard either. Sexy, yes, and layered with his own issues and motivations. I loved his unwavering dedication to Dee, even as she was...well...being Dee. And I thought their relationship was lusty good fun, if a bit lacking in sweet tender romance. Dee? Do sweet and tender?? Not without a lobotomy, that's for sure. Suffice it to say, the relationship between them may not be my personal preference for heartfelt romance reading, but it was very in line with what we know of Dee and what we've learned of Simon, so I have no complaints.

I do have a couple of complaints about the plot, though. It wasn't the most original, to be honest, but I will say that it did take a couple of turns that pushed it into fresher territory, and I liked that very much. Reading it was like walking along a very well worn path for just over half a journey...and then suddenly the earthquake hits and you turn to race along a slightly different route to get to safety. That's how the plot of I'll Be Slaying You read for me as I went along. Familiar and a bit unoriginal at first - though well told, don't get me wrong - then some surprising aspects came in and made it fresher and more unique.

The writing style and character development were really solid, though, and I've loved the backdrop of the world Eden started creating in her Midnight Trilogy and spread to encompass the Night Watch series. I loved getting another peek at Jude and Erin from Eternal Hunter, and of course getting reacquainted with the half-demon Zane and the cop Anthony. I'll Be Slaying You may not have been perfect for me, but it was a good, solid read full of action and lusty good times. I'm looking forward to Eternal Flame due out in December.
