To me, in spite of being a novella, this has been a more sophisticated Vampire series, particularly in this Book 2. The sophistication being just slightly reminiscent of Anne Rice. There for the less mature reader (somewhat like myself); however, is unfortunately a lot of extra and drawn out description buffering scenes and plot events. I just preferred the plot pace of Book 1. Good though.

This book picks up 3 days after book 1. Wolf and lily are off to a council meeting where they tell wolf that she is to be tried for killing a vampire. They know that the society is just trying to use wolf, but not why. After work lily meets Athene and warns her that the vampires are using her to get to wolf. Things go down how they except and wolf goes after a threat to vampires. Things take a turn for the worst.
I loved Lily even more this time. She is learning that she is strong and not prey to anyone. On the other side I hate Wolf even more.
I get that he has had some bad things happen. It was hinted in this book but nothing was really revealed. He seems arrogant and selfish and an all around jerk. I hope either wolf opens up some and actually is honest with himself and Lily. Or a new male is brought in.
I love Lily's powers and thought Athene was pretty awesome and I hope we see more of her in the next book.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately this series didn't turn out to be what I hoped for. I liked the first book and it made me want to read more but when I got my hands on this one, the more I read the more I lost my interest. It seemed like the things I liked about Lily in the first book were the things that annoyed me in this one. The story was still fast paced and full of action but it was really hard for me to care about the characters this time around. Maybe it was because I had so low expectations of the first book that I ended up enjoying it. Maybe I hoped for more from this one, since it was double the size. Whatever it was, I didn't like this one as much and unfortunately I lost interest in the series and won't be continuing. Still, I would recommend the first book to people how are really into Adult Urban Fantasy and especially Vampires. It's a very small and fast read you might actually enjoy it more than I did.

A unusual twist on a common theme, yes the vampires have all the power, but they are also constantly battling to keep their ‘beast’ their baser desires chained up in their minds. Lily can sense these beasts, and rather than being the weak, manipulated human, she starts to realise she has a certain amount of power because of this ability, because not only can she feel their beasts, she can touch them.
Wolf is the same, uncommunicative chap he was in the first book, but is he really the guy in the white hat readers are led to believe? An enigmatic female vampire is introduced who knows Wolf well and she adds to the mystery and provides some information both about the vampire world in general and Wolf in particular. I loved the gargoyle character, who I hope will be expanded in the future.
Violence, angst and sexual tension abound, I can’t wait for book three to come out.
