Once enslaved, Jerusalem is gifted with exceptional strength and speed. This makes her a Saint, able to hunt down vampires and Confederates with ease. There’s one vampire that she won’t hunt yet though- Alexei. Alexei came from Europe to help the Union cause. When Jerusalem and Alexei head out on what should be a routine mission, their lives completely change.  Jerusalem and Alexei are soon on the trail of one of the most dangerous vampires to exist. As skeletons from their closets arise, Jerusalem and Alexei must work together to survive. 

I loved Jerusalem! She has been through horrible events and yet bravely chooses to use her power to help others. Jerusalem is always courageous and looking for a fight. Alexei has a lot to learn from Jerusalem despite being immortal. The romantic tension between Alexei and Jerusalem was intense and beautifully written. They work closely together, but Jerusalem has to reckon with whether she can ever care about a vampire after what happened to her family. Lauren Blackwood crafts an unputdownable story! The Dangerous Ones is action-packed and filled with historical details with fantastical twists. I particularly loved how creatively The Underground Railroad was represented. Readers who enjoy enemies-to-lovers, action-packed adventure, and fierce characters will love this book.
