As vampires infiltrate society, hunter Jenn is betrayed to "the Cursed Ones" and her sister is kidnapped. Jenn and her team race to find Heather before vampires "convert" her. The pace tends to lag through detailed backstories. However, the rural Spain and New Orleans settings provide intriguing context for the combination of Catholicism, mysticism, and voodoo the team uses against its enemies.
