Ashlyn Rivers is a detective in the Orias Police Department. Every day she goes about doing her part to protect and serve the people. Recently, a new criminal organization has moved into the city. If they continue to disturb the current crime boss and his empire, they will start a turf war that will hurt a lot of innocent people. The mayor, meanwhile, has declared that the Vigilante is to be … to be arrested on sight for fear others may try to copy him. Ashlyn cannot explain it, but she feels a connection with him and believes that he actually helps the OPD. If he truly has the abilities they say, she can sleep better at night knowing he has watch. Many in the department, however, will go out of their way to make a name for themselves by being the cop that brings him in. Even if it costs lives.
There’s a war coming and a lot of blood will be shed unless Ashlyn can stop it with help from the Vigilante. That’s if the Orias Police stay out of the way.
She works for the law, he works above it. Will they find a way to save the city and come together, or will their worlds forever keep their love apart? This debut novel puts a fresh spin on the female heroine, the man that loves her and those she’s sworn to protect.

Intriguing, fast, addictive
3.5 stars
I have mixed feelings about this book .
I enjoyed the fast pace of the action , the story line is intriguing and I do want to keep reading this story to see where it goes and how it ends !
Ashlyn is a dedicated and talented detective. She’s clearly born to be a cop has the skills and character to do it well . She’s strong brave and fearless .
Cain , or the vigilante , is mysterious and intriguing . He has talents that are described and discovered as the story unfolds and also has an attraction to Ashlyn that is touched on in this story but not explored in depth (I’m Assuming just yet )
There is some heightened crimes in the city with news of a new group trying to find some
Power in the crime lord scene . Ashlyn and her team are involved and the vigilante is there to help them despite their orders to arrest him on site.
Their ultimate goal to avoid a war within the crime world .
At the end of the book I’m left with a lot of questions that are unanswered and I’m Hoping will be answered in book 2 . Luckily it’s clear this is not the only book in this story . Overall i love the ideas in the story and I really am kean to continue the story.
The main things that i didn’t like to bring my rating down were:
I was hoping for more heat between Ashlyn and Cain already but it didn’t eventuate (yet!? )
Towards the end of the story the vigilante kept getting referred to as different people within the same paragraph it jumped from Jaden to Cain and back again and get confusing and frustrating .
Although written really well and in an engaging way, It felt at times a little clunky and repetitive perhaps in the editing process could have been Improved .
Having said that though it was a good read and I’ll continue this series for sure !
Fast paced and high on action, this book speed you through Ash’s world as a police detective, and Cain’s life as the Vigilante. Don’t miss the first book in this jam packed series.
My only wish is that there would have been a little more in the romance department. But, I’m sure that’s what the author has in store for us in the coming books.
Hold on to your hats, and jump right in.
Vigilante is a new unique take on paranormal romance. There is a slow burn element that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Steeped in a suspenseful world the paranormal element isn’t as obvious until the end. The romance element hasn’t been fulfilled quite yet. There are a lot of questions that still need to be answered. I look forward to the next book in this series. It was a great intro into the world of the Vigilante.
Vigilante is nonstop action mixed with intrigue and ends with lots of questions. Can’t wait for the next book! Read the first book now before book two comes out! You won’t be disappointed!
