A vampire hunter who is born into The Faith, a cult that preaches purity and hatred for vampires, Luke's newest mission is to capture a half-vampire in his town. He starts working at a bar in New Orleans to get familiar with local nightlife, and there he meets Abel.

Abel, with his bright hazel eyes and dimples that frame his smile, wedges himself in the middle of Luke's mission. He's everything that The Faith hates: he drinks casually, his ears are pierced, and he's not shy about making his affections for Luke clear. His relaxed attitude is like a magnet to Luke.

After wearing Luke down, Abel persuades Luke to hang out at his apartment, where he introduces him to his brother. The sight of him shocks Luke: he's a dead-ringer for the half-vampire he's hunting.

Knowing that Abel's brother is his prey, Luke is torn between fulfilling his mission for The Faith and his fear of losing what he has with Abel.

The FAITH

Luke called Miss R before work the next afternoon and lied about being sick to avoid going in. She was surprisingly understanding about it, and time stretched torturously long as he hid at home. In a wave of insanity, he even considered going to evening service just to have something to pass the time.


The next day, Rob knocked on his door and told him that they were going on another hunt. 


Luke didn't want to go; he'd woken up from a nightmare of him looking down and seeing himself in a gray shirt soaked through with blood, and the last thing he wanted was to see another dead person. But spinning around in his head wasn't getting him anywhere, and he had to do something.


So, he went downstairs and loaded into the van with the other three.


"We're still after the one from the attic," John said, tone determined, as he started to drive.
