Midnight Predator, by Amelia Atwater-RhodesYoung Adult, 2002
From fantasticfiction.co.uk:
Turquoise Draka is now a hunter, committed to no higher purpose than making money and staying alive. In a deadly world of vampires, shape-shifters, and powerful mercenaries, she'll track any prey if the price is right. Her current assignment: to assassinate Jeshikah, one of the cruelest vampires in history. Her employer: an unknown contact who wants the job done fast. Her major obstacle: she'll have to mask her strength and enter Midnight, a fabled Vampire realm, as a human slave. Vulnerable and defenseless, she faces her greatest challenge ever.
Raspberry:
Already a fan of Atwater-Rhodes, I hadn't read the Den of Shadows series, of which this is a part (the 4th book). Don't let that stop you, however, they're all individual in their stories and don't require that you read one before another. I really enjoyed this action-packed gutsy plot. I wish it had been more fleshed out...it felt short and lacking in details that I wanted, and in the end I was hoping for more closure for Turquoise. However, the characters were good, the writing decent, and it kept my attention the whole way.
Graded a B.
