Kenneth- Suave; dapper; intelligent; good with the ladies. After watching his bestfriend meet and fall in love with the reincarnation of his late wife, Kenneth is left feeling rather empty. Not that he has time for that. Helping Cole keep Carson's awakening on the down-low seems to demand all his attention, keeping him rather busy. Marissa- Highly talented; intelligent; lethal; and very bored. When news that a new vampire was turned in Chicago, the British vampire hunter is suddenly all ears. Grabbing her partner, they hop across the pond to stop the "problem" before it gets bigger. But when they get there, she finds that "problem" to be rather attractive.
