    About this ebook

    This “fast-paced, action-packed” paranormal thriller takes you into the darkest corners of the vampire realm—and a bloody battle for survival (Jess Haines).
     
    Kat Redding is the very thing she hunts: a vampire, thirsting for blood, capable of killing any creature unlucky enough to get in her path. The difference is Kat kills her own kind in order to protect human Purebloods. And she is very good at what she does. Good enough to earn the nickname Lady Death—and the burning hatred of every nightwalker around.
     
    When a vampire Count tries to merge his House with a werewolf cult to create a force of terrifying power, Kat makes it her business to stop him. Now she’s taking on a den of weres and a ruthless vampire more dangerous than any she’s encountered before.
     
    She has the weapons, the skill, and the will to get the job done. But that may not be enough to eliminate the Count before her own dark nature arises within her—and costs her whatever is left of her humanity . . .
     
    Featuring “a complex, compelling character” who can break hearts even faster than she can tear them out, this is a debut supernatural adventure you won’t be able to put down (Alexandra Ivy, New York Times–bestselling author)
     
    “Fans of Underworld will not want to miss this.” —Jess Haines, author of Deceived by the Others

      I enjoyed Kat. I liked her Attitude. I like that even though she was turned she still fights to keep humans safe from the Vampires and Weres. I like her loyalty to her friend and roommate. I also really loved the image of her that was depicted on the cover of the book, It completely matched how I would picture her in my mind.There were a few slow parts in TO WALK THE NIGHT but the overall flow was nice. There is no romance which I didn't like nor dislike. I would like to see how she would handle something like that in the future but I enjoyed getting to know Kat without that. There was tons of action throughout the book and the world that Moore built was intriguing. I think any Urban Fantasy lover will enjoy TO WALK THE NIGHT.

      Review Courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: A true urban fantasy with a unique world and a kick ass heroine. Opening Sentence: Blood dripped from the edge of my blade, falling soundlessly in the deathly quiet room. The Review: E.S. Moore has created a new world where monsters exist. His vampires and werewolves are the stuff of nightmares and the night is to be feared. To Walk the Night is the first installment of the Kat Redding series, a new gritty, urban fantasy. Kat Redding is also known as “Lady Death” and is feared by all supernatural creatures. She kills the monsters that go bump in the night without mercy, to make the world a better place for the Purebloods. She is aggressive, tough and gritty, has major anger issues and she also happens to be a vampire herself. Turned against her will after she and her brother were captured during a failed hunt, she hates everything about herself and vows to take down as many monsters like her before she loses her humanity. The world that Moore created is unique and compelling in the never-ending sea of vampire and werewolf books out there. His vampires and werewolves are truly monsters, well mostly. Humans or purebloods live in fear and go into hiding at night but otherwise live their lives during the day trying to forget that the monsters of legend truly exist. To Walk the Night is truly an urban fantasy and the only hint at a possible romance is in the last paragraphs. Kat was born after the Uprising, when vampires and werewolves came out of the dark and took over the world. She and her brother hunted and killed the monsters until they were captured. Kat hates what she has become but she continues the fight. She refuses to let them win. In To Walk the Night, Kat learns that not all werewolves and vampires are monsters, that some actually strive to be better, like her. Kat is approached by Jonathan and the Luna Cult; he wants her to help them take down a minor vampire house. She is used to working alone with her only help coming from a Pureblood, Ethan, that she rescued when she escaped and killed those who had captured and turned her. Ethan is the only person she trusts and the only person who knows who she truly is. She thinks the cult members are crazy because they worship the very monsters she kills, werewolves. Kat accepts the offer only because she wants the chance to take down a minor vampire house and she knows that she cannot allow them to gain control of the Luna Cult’s pureblooded members and their wolves. To Walk the Night is slow on the uptake. I had a hard time getting into it, even though there was action and fighting from the start. I liked Kat and the other characters just fine; she is the kick ass heroine that I love. Although, I can’t put my finger on what exactly the problem was, I think it was the way the world was presented at first. The book starts with action from the first sentence, and the world building takes a back seat to that. It takes a while to become invested in the characters and their world and this makes it seem sluggish in the beginning, but once I learned about the world I was hooked. Once I got past the slow beginning, I really enjoyed To Walk the Night and I look forward to reading the next installment to see what lies in wait for Kat. Notable Scene: “What the fuck?” I said, taking a step back. I knew silver didn’t seem to work against the former Cult wolves, but having his family jewels cut almost clean off should have kept the wolf down. I didn’t care how crazy you were; you didn’t get up from a wound like that. The werewolf lunged at me; claws bared and ready to tear me apart. I just barely managed to slide around the blow. As I slipped around him, I jabbed him in the ribs with the tip of my sword, opening a gaping wound in his side. He growled with pain but stayed on his feet. He turned back to face me, ignoring the blood pouring from his body in appalling gushes. Close combat was clearly not working. The wolf made another pass at me and I dodged him easily. The wounds might not be causing him as much pain as I would like, but they were still slowing him down. He staggered to the side and snarled in rage before charging again. He never even came close to me and he howled in frustration. He sounded weak now, his howl more of a groan than anything. He was panting, frothing at the mouth in a red-tinged foam that splattered the floor at his feet. He glared at me and staggered forward a step. His motions were slow and deliberate, as if he had to think hard about putting each foot in front of the next. He lunged at me, only to come face-to-face with my modified Glock. “Nighty night.” There was a muffled thump as the bullet buried itself in his brain. He dropped to the floor, and this time, he stayed down. “Get up from that, asshole,” I growled, turning to the rest of the battle raging around me. The Kat Redding Series: 1. To Walk the Night 2.

      Kat Redding is a vampire and werewolf hunter. She and her brother Thomas hunted down rogues, killed them and lived to do it again. Until one night, they were captured. Thomas’s fate was terrible and Kat was turned into one of the things she hated most, a vampire. After a time, she managed to break free killing everyone in the Valentino Vampire House, but saving one man, a Pureblood named Ethan, one of the humans the vampires fed on. Grateful beyond words, he stayed with her, helping her in any way he could while she continued to hunt and kill those that needed hunted and killed. The last thing you wanted was Lady Death to come calling.'To Walk the Night' begins several years after Kat escapes House Valentino. The Luna Cult, a group of Purebloods (humans) who worship werewolves, has a problem, a big problem, and the only solution is to ask Kat for help, so they send a messenger with the address for their Den. Kat doesn’t trust the Cult because they worship the monsters, werewolves, but she’s too curious not to see what they want. You know what they say about curiosity, right? Her name may be Kat, but it’s a good thing she’s a vampire.This was a great first book in a new series. The writing was smooth, the plot intriguing, the story fascinating, the characters interesting. I’m reminded of the first time I read 'Guilty Pleasures' by Laurell K. Hamilton. Both are similar stories, yet not. In either case, I couldn’t put them down.An awesome read! I very much look forward to Book 2, 'Tainted Night, Tainted Blood' coming 3 July 2012.*The publisher provided a copy of this book to me for review. Please see disclaimer page on my blog.

      This is the first novel in the series of Kat Redding, a vampire bent on revenge on her own kind to protect humans. With the help of a human (Ethan) that helps keep her supplied in silver weapons, plus other things (guns, motorcycles, home security) she takes on the courts of other Vampires, who control Purebloods (humans) and Werewolves in a modern-day society.

      In this first installment, Kat is approached by a conclave of werewolf devotees (the Luna Clan), led by a sorcerer of unknown ability/power. He has asked her to join with them in order to rescue their leader from a court of vampires that has recently risen to be considered a Minor Court. There are quite a few twists in the story as Kat proceeds to not only defend herself and her home from an unknown adversary, but also being approached by a traitor to the Luna Clan, who has ulterior motives. Kat has to decide who she will help, why she will help them, and which way will get the collapse of yet another court of vampires.

      I had a hard time setting this one aside as I was reading it, so it seemed to read through pretty fast. Moore has a great way of telling an action story, with, at least at this time, no major romantic side-story. I look forward to the next book, revealing a new 'enemy', and possibly more back story on the whole Kat & Ethan angle.
