So, after completely loving the first book in this series, I was more than a bit curious to see where Elizabeth Marx would take the series, and I was not disappointed. Fast forward 600 or so years and we are in a more modern Wales of 1990. Severin’s son Sebastian is the focus of this story, also narrated with the care and quiet precision of Philabe.

Sebastian is far less empathetic a character in this story, although we are working with the darker style of vampire, his arrogance was often off-putting but provided a great source of humor in highlighting the differences between he and Everleigh. Since Sebastian is rather older and European, his style clashes with the brasher and more modern American Everleigh, resulting in clever insets of humor into the story. While the two are destined to butt heads (sometimes near literally) the need to protect and avenge add several twists to the plot that kept the action flowing forward. With clever insets that provide background, and several recurring characters, some answers are provided while more questions are asked. Most importantly – when is book three in this series due for release?

Another winner from the mind of Elizabeth Marx, this story combines some sexy scenes with characters that despite their appearance as being unlovable become people you care about and need to know what will happen to them next. A perfect addition to the Red Veil series, it is certainly a series to watch for the upcoming installments.

I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review for a blog tour with Full Moon Bites. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
