***SPOILER ALERT!!!*** 
 It all started with the famous two bad asses Cat and Bones in the 2md book of The Night Huntress "One Foot in the Grave". Mencheres who is Bones Grandsire, appears as the hero in this Side book. 
 Kira is a private investigator who stumbles on a fight between Ghouls and a Vampire. Her moto is "Save one life", she followed her gut, and ended up in the arms of a vampire. After giving a couple of pints of his blood he can't erase her memory, so what does our Egyptian god does? he takes her with him for a week. After saving her sisters' life, and releasing her, Kira feels attached to him. Of course, she is in love. What does she do? she goes out, looking through cold case files, searching for clues to find Mencheres. 
 When I first read The Night Huntress book 3-5, I believed him to be an asshole. After reading this book, I believe Kira isn't the only woman who has fallen in love with our dear Mencheres. Yes, I have too! :) 
 You've got to give Mencheres a chance, and read this book. Jeaniene Frost does know what she's doing!
