For centuries, Adams have hunted vampires without question, that is until Preston Adams wants nothing to do with the family preoccupation. However, the patriarch, Preston’s grandfather warns him either kill an undead or else.

Centuries ago, Gabrielle Warwick chose to become a vampire rather than succumb to illness. However, unlike most of her species, Gabrielle refuses to drink human blood, seeking other alternatives. She knows she will never feel safe as long as the Adams family lives. Preston reluctantly goes after Gabrielle, but when they meet, neither on can harm the other. Instead, they feel they know each other perhaps in a previous life or just because of the powerful attraction between them. When they flee together, their respective broods declare both of them traitors who must die.

ENEMY MINE is the ultimate star-crossed lovers’ story line. The brave lead couple is exciting, as they both understand what sacrifices and dangers love brings to them yet willingly do so. The support cast adds a feel of authenticity that makes vampires and their hunters seem genuine. Although a strong supernatural tale that Buffy lovers and vampire aficionados would enjoy, this jewel of a plot centers on the star-crossed lovers.
