3.65 stars rounded upQuick recap (for my own sake): Scarlet is a null and her ability makes all supernatural beings lost their power when they're within certain radius from her. She works as a cleaner who helps 'hiding' all traces of supernatural from crime scenes. Until one night, she is late to a horrible crime scenes where three vampires are killed brutally and an L.A.P.D Officer, Jesse Cruz, arrives first. Scarlett runs away but Jesse is able to track her, and she is forced to tell him about the Old World. Soon, Scarlett finds himself under ultimatum from Dashiell (the leader of vampire in L.A.) to find who is responsible or Scarlett and Jesse will be killed...-------------------------This series is quite interesting because of Scarlett's ability. She is a null -- and I think the only null I read prior to this is Sherrif Nash from Allyson James's "Stormwalker" series. At first, I think that kind of ability is a bit passive, you know? I mean, Scarlett doesn't really have to do anything (she doesn't need to fight, to kill, etc), ALTHOUGH, all supernatural beings are wary of her. But it doesn't really help when Dash threatens to kill her if she can't find the murderer. Plus, Scarlett is a bit too calm, seems like she resigns to her fate, and not trying to save herself (and Jesse).HOWEVER, it all changes during the climax scene. Oh, WOW, she turns the vampire into a human PERMANENTLY!. That surely elevates my curiosity for the next book. I want to know how far her power goes!!The story has two different perspectives. With Scarlett's chapters, it's first person. With Jesse, it's third person. I have no problem with that. None at all. I like knowing what Scarlett is thinking while on the other ocassion, knowing what Jesse is observing and what happens surrounding him. The mystery (the reason those vampires are killed and the real culprit) is quite well done.I do have slight issue with what I could imagine turning into a love-triangle of sort. With Jesse having his own chapters, it's easy to conclude that he will be one of the love interest. But there's also Eli, the werewolf whom Scarlett has three night-stands in (and Kristen, the witch, tells Scarlett that Eli's heart belongs to Scarlett, hmmmm and it seems he will be the other one. I'm a bit tired of that trope in UF/PNR to be perfectly honest. Feels like a 'template' for PNR/UF and been way overused *shrugs*But yeah, I want to check the second book. Especially with that plot twist Scarlet's mentor, the only other null she knows, Olivia -- is NOT dead! But instead she turns herself into this vampire villain!!. Definitely.
