Book three of an ongoing story.  Not recommended as a starting point.

From the back cover:

Tony Foster, fledgling wizard and now a Trainee Assistant Director on Darkest Night, the syndicated vampire detective show – is hoping that the only supernatural events he’ll be caught up in are those in the script.  But that isn’t meant to be, for a Demonic Convergence is about to begin, creating weak spots through which lesser demons may enter our world.

To complicate matters, Leah, the incredibly sensual and seductive stuntwoman who free-lances for the show, is an immortal Demongate.  Should Leah die, the Demongate will open and her sex demon master will be able to have his way with the unsuspecting human race.

Can Tony – with the help of Leah, vampire Henry Fitzroy, a tabloid reporter, a Mountie, and the cast and staff of Darkest Night – halt a demonic invasion, keep Leah alive, and stave off the end of the world?
