Skinners book 1 Blood Blade by Marcus Pelegrimas is a very good new series for all you werewolf and vampire lovers out there. I enjoyed it very much and can't wait for book 2 Howling Legion which will be coming out soon this same year.
I would recommend you all to read this and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
And for those of you who have read it let me know what your opinion was about it.

here is the plot overview of the story
Welcome to the nightmare . . .
There is a world you don't know about, inhabited by supernatural creatures of darkness—vampires, werewolves, and all manner of savage, impossible beasts that live for terror and slaughter and blood. They are all around us but you cannot see them, for knowledge of their presence—so close and so hungry—would surely drive any ordinary human insane.
But for centuries a special breed of hunter has kept the monsters at bay, preventing them from breaking through the increasingly fragile barriers protecting our mortal realm.
These guardians are called skinners.
But beware . . . for there are very few of them left.

Publishers Weekly review
Seattle video game designer Cole Warnecki takes an extreme vacation in British Columbia and ends up hunting supernatural monsters in this campy, action-packed paranormal debut. After Cole survives an encounter with a nasty werewolflike Full Blood, he lands a job with the Midwestern Ectological Group, whose Skinners act as cops for the local supernatural population. They bring him to Chicago and pair him up with experienced Skinner Paige Strobel, who gives him sound advice like "Don't gawk at a woman's ass when she's carrying a shotgun." Paige drags Cole into the front lines of MEG's war on insane vampire Misonyk, who infects people with vampiric spores and encourages them to drain victims dry, stealing their souls. Plenty of cinematic gore and wisecracks will keep readers coming back for future installments. (Feb.)

It sounds a really good book. Might have to see if my library can get it because i have spent too much money on books just lately!

Actually it does sound like it may be fun.
Though I am getting a bit tired (both in books and films) of these "secret worlds" of supernatural. I'd love to see a film, book, or tv series set in our time, where the fight against the supernatural is happening, but people know about it.
Just gets a bit much when you see or read of some of the stuff that's happening and you think to yourself "Are people in these stories all idots or blind?!" would just be refreshing to have such a setting where everyone knows whats going on.
Still I'll keep an eye out for the book.
