Stone Cold Dead — Shea Berkley

Death stalks the dark streets of Boston, but even death has enemies…

At twelve Anara was made a slave. At fourteen, she was forced to protect the very family who murdered hers. At nineteen, a selfish witch transformed her with a curse, leaving her immortal and alone. When fate brings her to Boston, she must choose between standing by and watching the city suffer, or join a daring mortal in his fight to protect the innocent.

Being a hero is Ryan diTaro's job. Eradicating the city of vampires and other monsters that hide in the dark is how he got the title. When an unknown woman appears out of nowhere and saves his life, he's not sure if he's made a friend or an enemy. Should he accept her help in hunting down the undead, or is she part of an elaborate plan the creatures of darkness have created to end his quest to see evil eliminated for good?
