A late-night trip to the Laundromat to retrieve her brother's stuffed koala bear turns sixteen-year-old Kerry's life upside down as she lands in the midst of a dangerous hunter vs. the hunted encounter. However, there are vampires and ordinary mortal vampire hunters involved, so who is the hunted and who is the hunter?

A series of events pairs Kerry up with the young vampire Ethan Bryne, who exasperates her to no end with his constant lying, alternating heartlessness and caring, and good looks. Ethan wants to avenge the death of his vampire friend, and Kerry needs to find her father and brother, who were taken by a vampire hunter who mistakenly believes she is a vampire too. In the end, though, can she really trust the manipulative and dangerous Ethan, even though they might have feelings for one another?

COMPANIONS OF THE NIGHT is no mind-blowing thriller, but it is a quick read that will please readers easily. I would've liked more back story, but it's still a pretty decent paranormal world that we are invited into.
