Rik has already been established as her Alpha Blood and Shara will do whatever it takes to maintain his spot as Alpha but I worry that Daire, who we got to see a lot in book one, is going to get pushed aside with the addition of more, and stronger, Blood. I loved the dynamic between Shara Rik and Daire in book one and though I’m excited to see new additions to the group I’m afraid we may lose a lot of that original dynamic.
We get a lot of new information and I’m excited to see what else we learn as Shara grows in power and knowledge. I’m also excited to see more lore about the Blood she adds, as she grows her nest.
Although Shara, the Queen, is of course everyone’s main focus I’m hoping that as the series continues we see more friendships/relationships grow between her Blood. It would add so much more strength to the story to see more interactions between the Blood as genuine trust and love grows between them all.
Although this book only really covers…maybe 4 or 5 days it packs a whole lot of story into that time. I look forward to continuing the series as we uncover more lore and history associated with vampire Queens and their Blood.

This is my second time reading this story. I really like this story, its pacing, its themes, the spice, everything. I rarely reread books and this one is so easy to pick up again. It's short, well paced, and interesting. It feels very like Anita Blake books by Laurell K. Hamilton in some ways. The way vampires are written and their powers are explored in a way that's really cool. There is also so much blending here of mythology of many different religions and cultures.
