I love these characters and the world building. There is a lot going on plot-wise, and I thought the book was much longer than the previous, but that isn't the case, and now I want more.

Following up on Silver Under Nightfall I had high hopes going into the second book in Rin Chupeco's Reaper series, and sure enough it lived up to them and then some.
The second book in the series follows in the footsteps of the first with its slow but steady world building that is used to flesh out a vibrant, diverse, world filled with luscious descriptions of locations that feel straight out of the best vampire media, with the expanding and building upon the complex relationship between the three main characters and their romance, and with the fight scenes that keep you on your toes. I deeply enjoyed seeing the relationships between the characters grow and progress as well as the character development they all went through to fully flesh themselves out by the end of the novel. Elke was a particular favorite followed by the romance between the main three.
It is very rare to find a second book that really feels like it just picks up and builds upon the first without making new errors or building upon those of the first but I feel this novel did it.
I would recommenced this for you if:
- You read the first and want more of the world
- Vampiric Bi Panic
- You like when polyamory is actually well written
- You love the Castlevaina TV show on Netflix and want a book like it
- You love vampies
I received an advance review copy of this book and I am leaving this review voluntarily and all thoughts and opinions are wholly my own and unbiased.

The banter is still top tier. It doesn't suffer from second book syndrome too bad. There are a few moments where it drags on but it was still a fun read.
