This book is an eagerly awaited sequel, and I must day, it didn’t disappoint. As with the first one, it was full of mysteries, and while some of the ones that had ‘left me hanging’ were solved, others appeared. I liked the fact that more of the vampire world emerged, even if I hated what I saw, that the characters’ history became a little clearer, and that Blue (one of the bigger riddles in book 1) was beginning to come into his own.

Max, I admit, wasn’t my favorite person in the first book despite the fact that he drew me. There is just something about the mix of ‘Bad Boy’ and ‘Lonely Warrior’ that gets to me. I am sure AJ and DJ fully intended it to be this way! Anyway, the closer look I got at him and his history in the second book increased my fascination, and added a few careful tendrils of ‘like’ to the mix of emotions.

Blue begins to remember his past, but all that emerges is more confusion, which is both wonderful - because it keeps the tension up) and horrible -because I am still not sure what is going on with him. Galien continues to be annoying, Katherine has her own problems, which deepen, and the religious fanatic from book 1 turns out to be – well, evil.

Now I have to wait for the third book… and I sure hope it will be published soon! ( )
