I'm a fan of Barbara Hambly but it's the first I read in this series.
I think that this book can be fully appreciated if you read the previous installment. On my side I felt confused and I think this book was not my cup of tea.
I will try to read the other books in this series and then try again.
Many thanks to Severn House and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

The latest in the increasingly-should-be-called-Lydia-Asher series features Lydia tracking a kidnapped Don Simon on a transatlantic voyage through submarine-infested waters. The claustrophobia induced by both the fear of being targeted at sea, as well as by the expectations of Lydia's society relatives and acquaintances on the ship, make the ending all the more affecting. Meanwhile, James continues to work undercover in Europe, but increasingly seems marginalized in both the story and Lydia's life (although their limited interactions are still very loving and sweet). I'm interested to see where their story goes from here!

Taking a cruise with the undead. Is the Don still a vampire? Is this series winding down? A decent read.
