Despite Dawn Madison's issues with her father, when the P.I. goes missing, the stuntwoman goes in search of him, teaming up with the psychically gifted people he worked with to not only locate her dad, but solve the case he was working on at the time. There is also their boss; a man who is textbook enigmatic and is never seen, but addresses them via microphone. Known only has the voice, he seems to be all seeing and all knowing, at least where Dawn is concerned.

Frank Madison being missing is only the tip of an ugly iceberg. The mystery is one that stretches back decades and is now coming to light as a long "dead" star reappears and vampires make themselves known. What price fame and beauty? Dawn may soon find out, and the answer may hit closer to home than is comfortable.

If you like your fantasy with an edge, then you've struck gold. Despite the vampires and other para elements, there is a ring of truth to the biting, no pun intended, allegory. This is a fantastic start to a new series and one you should try to keep up with as it unfolds.

Synopsis
In this first book of an all-new trilogy, life proves stranger than the movies when a Hollywood underground coven of vampires comes to light-and gets targeted by the tough-as-nails daughter of a sexy screen siren.

Stuntwoman Dawn Madison hasn't been on the best of terms with her father since her movie star mother died. Still, he is her dad, and when he vanishes while investigating the bizarre sighting-caught on film-of a supposedly long-dead child star, she comes home to Tinseltown to join the search for him. Working with his odd colleagues, she discovers an erotic and bloody underground society made up of creatures she thought existed only on the screen.
