The war is on, the world is suffering, our cast of characters has increased by one new important player - Dylan. Dylan turns out to be an person of interest to Eve, even though he is currently associated with Blackstone.

I found the threat to the world to be fascinating... I know each time I go to a gas station I briefly think about the effect that petrochemicals have on my life (mainly what I have to pay for it, & its environmental effect on the world) but I have never considered the BIG PICTURE...well lets just say I give more thought to it now.

I find that I personally am much like Eve - as a child I was always asking why and it drove my Father crazy...Eve is still questioning everything in this book, and Michel is at his wits end at times. He continues to want Eve to submit fully to him and trust his decisions, he states that she is critical in saving the world, but that he can not share the fine details as each action creates a reaction, thus possibly changing the outcome of the events.

The brothers continue to have different ways of dealing with Eve, her importance to the salvation of mankind and the covenant with the vampires. Both love her and want to do everything to keep her happy, and have an void in the existence when she is not with them. As Eve continues to move between brothers, in an attempt to foil Blackstone and Dominion, Soren continues to use Eve as tool against the brothers, insuring their submission to him and their participation in his plans.

Blackstone and Soren continue to be the enemies, and mankind is non the wiser to what is going on. Eve continues to have feelings for both brothers, and continues to learn more about her history, purpose and her mother from each of them. Dylan our new character, brings more of Eve's history to the forefront (and we learn his importance to her), and has an active role attempting to destroy Soren.

The continued plot development is excellent, the descriptive & character elements awesome - the threat to mankind very real. All in all a very enjoyable read. I probably should have read these books slower, as it will be difficult to wait till the next book is out, but I'll be watching for it.

I also hope that further work by this author is as fantastic as this series is - these books are in my top 15 of best reads overall ( )
