Enjoyed more than the first. A great and refreshing take on a vampire.

Why has this been a better reading than the first book? Mainly because of the romance that is more fulfilling and romantic overall. The book could also have shown more of the happy times but even without them, I was satisfied.
There is hurt/comfort for both characters but more for the vampire who feels that he cannot and should not be loved. And I felt so sorry for him. I'm happy that Sage was not deterred and pursued the vampire despite everything.
There is some suspense, some action and new lore. And a cameo from Jude.

I am interested in continuing the series still.
