Continuation of book one, but approximately 18 months later.
Connie and Rurik have been travelling the world, but end up in Rio for New Year.....and its not a coincidence.....
Connie has been taking blood off Rurik but it doesn't seem to be fully satisfying her....confusion ahead, but not for long....
Tane is now King of Vampires and is in Rio.....being tortured, and somehow the torturers have got hold of the fact that despite us thinking that Connie was bound to Rurik - she isn't. shes bound to Tane, due to his older and more powerful blood.
Connie is kidnapped and taken to where Tane is. And the tests prove she does in fact belong to Tane.
Of course, its not smooth sailing, but somewhere along the lines Tane redeems himself from a baddie in the first book, to someone you like and can understand why he has a loyal following.
Connie and Rurik find themselves "guests" at Tanes home. Its too dangerous for them to be out alone.
We are introduced to werewolves for the first time, Gwen, head of Tane's security and also her brother Kam.
Theres murders being committed that the vamps have to try and cover up and catch the rogue vamp before their existence is revealed. But should they be looking closer to home?
Connie starts to actually LIKE Tane. which confuses her. She LOVES Rurik, but somehow Tane has wiggled into her heart...
Can this be resolved?
Colby the slayer is back on the scene, once again hired by Tane to find this vampire, but finds himself the prime suspect...
Alot more passion in this one than the first.
Nice to see werewolves making their entrance, and imagine they may have a bigger part to play later in the series.
Definitely one for the adults - especially the last few pages..!! PHEW!!
