Series Blood Coven 3

Rayne McDonald thought getting into the Blood Coven was the hard part. But now there's a new breed of trouble in town...and the former slayer and her vampire boyfriend may be the only ones who can stop it.

Now that she's an official vampire and full-fledged member of The Blood Coven, Rayne assumes her vampire slaying days are over. Sure, she doesn't have any vampire powers, thanks to a mutated blood virus, but she and Jareth can go out in the sun, which is a pretty good trade-off.

But just when Rayne's starting to enjoy her afterlife, she's contacted by Slayer Inc once again. It seems that a member of her high school's football team has disappeared—and the powers-that-be think the cheerleaders had something to do with it. Now Rayne has to infiltrate the squad before the cheerleaders have a chance to sink their teeth into someone else...

I picked this book up because:  Series

What I liked the Most? Cait's intro – I hope they keep her around

What I liked the Least?  Argh – Rain drove me nutso

This book picks up where the second book leaves off.

Jareth – tall dark and gloomy from the last book – has become a beach bum and that bums Rayne out – since he isn't all dark anymore. When she gets her new assignment from Slayers, Inc she flips – they want Goth Girl (tattooed & pierced) to infiltrate the cheerlead squad since the girls have started growling. This book has a few twists & turns in it.
