It took me forever to read this book. And really, I don't know why I am still reading this series. The language is ridiculous. NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT! Also, I end up getting do made at Damali and Carlos that it's not even funny. So, in this book, D and Carlos FINALLY get together and its super hot. Then, they have to go to Brazil to deal with this crazy thing that is eating humans. Carlos and D fight about it and she puts on a concert over there that is so hot it reaches the Vampire Council. There is this female that is calling for Carlos and he wants her bad because he thinks she's a vamp female that got ahold of Neteru scent, but really she is a fallen mother-seer who turned were-demon and is not crazy. D and Carlos fight and he wants to cheat on her, oh and one of the members of the vamp council knows that Carlos is playing both sides and tries to manipulate him to be with the were-demon. We meet a man from Marlene's past and he and Shabazz get all territorial about her. D and her team join up with Mar's ex and deal with the crazy were-demon former mother seer. They also kill the council member that is trying to manipulate Carlos, who then comes to save the day. I was super angry with how D and Carlos acted and that they can't just get over themselves and be together. We get it, Carlos was her destined soul mate but now he's not, but they love each other, always have and always will. Neither can stand the idea of the other with someone else, so get over it and learn how to deal with what you have. Oh, and did I mention that the language is ridiculous? Because it is. Also, the guy from Mar's past, he had an accent, but he did not always have his accent; it was very inconsistent, which was also irritating. However, I will read at least one more book. I do like D and Carlos and the team so I am not ready to give up on this series, but it's not guaranteed that I will finish the series.

It was good, but since I didn't read #1+2 I think that I could have liked it better ;)

MUCH better than the first two. Couldve been a LOT shorter. Wouldve got 4 stars if there were 100 pages less. The dialogue is getting better, but all the fist pounding is getting on my nerves still. I liked that she gave more insight to each of the characters histories.

This was my favorite installment so far! So much happened to move the story along. I'm taking a short break from the series to get some other things read, but I'll hopefully come back to it later this year. For some reason I'm thinking these are perfect for fall/winter reading.

The first 2/3 of this book are great but towards the end I completely lost interest due to the fact the last one hundered pages could have been cut down to twenty pages or less. Also, some supporting characters are flat and interchangable. Even the main characters, including the Vampire Huntress herself, seem flat.

There are, however, several likable aspects of this book. Banks has two love stories, a young woman love story and an older woman love story. It's nice to see that in a novel. Too often only younger characters are allowed to be in love. Banks also has the older woman, Marlene, be the focal point in a love triangle.

Banks has sex scences, but she also examines the ramifications of sex. You have a night passion instead of doing your duty, there is a price to be paid. Too often writers have characters engage in behavior or actions without any real effect. Think of how many times characters have unprotected sex without getting pregnant. Here there is great supernatural passion, but also a call back to reality.
