More world building and finally more history behind the Vampires and how they came to be. I feel some series get worse the more books that come out, but so far this series has only gotten better for me.

I felt this was the weakest book of the series so far. I miss the cirque.

i think this and the first book are my favourites of this series so far

Ok that ending was just… HOW DO YOU END IT LIKE THAT?!?!?! 

This was yet another great installment of Darren’s story! I like that this one really started to push Darren’s limits as a half-vampire. He definitely is starting to become mature and treated more to an adult. 

The plot twist at the end I did not expect!!! That came out of the nowhere!
I like Kurda too. His views are definitely geared in the right ways to evolve the vampires, but his approach ain’t it.
