Night Unbound by Dianne Duvall
3.0

I didn't warm to this one as much as the others. There was nothing wrong with it but I never really felt any connection with Lisette, before or during this book which made it hard to care.

Zach is one of the mysterious Others, but against the Others' credo he has been watching Lisette, heck he even allowed himself to be captured by the Immortal Guardians just so that he could talk to her!

The Others seem to be more than one sandwich short of a picnic - they are so obsessed with not interfering that they torture Zach merely for talking to Seth and telling him that his mobile phone is dead/the Immortal Guardians are trying to reach him.

Seth and Zach are on opposite sides (helping versus not interfering) so Lisette knows her relationship with Zach is a betrayal of Seth.

In the meantime, someone is turning soldiers into vampires - stronger and more lucid than the usual insane vamps, these newvies know how to fight. Then one hits Lisette with a super tranq. The only people who have access to the existing tranq that affects Immortal Guardians are the Immortal Guardians - so who is betraying them from within?

If I had to characterise this book I would say the romance was so-so but the plot development was good - until the end which felt like a re-run of the end of the last book.
