This book continues the story of Quinn Lennox and her life-changing discovery of V.C., or "Vamp City," an alternate world connected to Washington, D.C.
V.C. was created by a magician around the middle of the nineteenth century, and is decaying as the magic leaks into Quinn's D.C. It is a haven for vampires, demons, and werewolves. Without sunlight, the world remains in perpetual darkness. Outside the world dominated by humans, the balance of power has shifted: humans are slaves, serving only to feed the vampires, who need not only blood, but emotion (fear, pain, pleasure) to survive.
In the first of the series, the reader is introduced to Quinn Lennox. Quinn has been unusual all her life. With inexplicable abilities, she has remained alone, except for her younger brother, Zack. Until her brother's best friend, Lily, walks through a sunbeam into V.C. Quinn and her brother follow, only to be separated. Quinn is quickly "acquired" by a vampire named Arturo. Arturo is a fear-feeder. As usual with paranormal vampire stories, Quinn finds the vampire strangely, disturbingly attractive.

I must say I really an enjoying this series. One of my favorite things about it is the world building done by Ms. Palmer. I love the description of Vamp City, as well as the different areas inhabited by the fae, the werewolves and the vampires. The supernatural characters in this book are not all fluff and sparkle. They can be seriously demented and disturbing at times, which is a refreshing change of pace. In addition, the character development has progressed throughout the entire series and you the individuals in the book all have their strengths and faults. At the end of book one, I could never imagine something happening that would take Quinn back to V.C. and now at the end of book 2, I can't imagine how she will ever leave it. I can't wait for book 3. Anyone have any news on when it will be available?
