Alaric has been around for a looooong time. Not much can destabilise his legendary control. But recently he has been slipping and his thirst is out of control. He runs an empire including some high end nightclubs. When he gets a whiff of heaven within the club one night, he almost takes the head off his best friend trying to determine where it's coming from.
Ashlynn is a bit of an over-achiever. She is the best at everything she does and she has now reached the pinnacle of her profession, cardiac surgeon working on children. She loves her job and her little charges but it doesn't leave much time for fun. But on a bachelorette night out with friends, she almost comes a cropper when a legendary vampire loses his cool! Doesn't help that its the vampire she has been drooling over for some time!
But Alaric isn't just having problems with the Thirst, he also learns that he is in the frame for some very grisly murders...never rains but it pours eh?
This hasn't been my favourite out of the series so far but it's still damned good! Vampiric politics, family feuds if you will, love in all the wrong places and the Thirst making everything a struggle. Poor Alaric! I struggled with the "Scots" voice but I am Scottish and sometimes it just makes characters sound like Groundskeeper Willie! Not as bad as some I've read but still grated I'm afraid. But if you look past that there is a great vein of humour including Ash's labelling of "Captain Crazypants".
