Deathwish by Rob Thurman
5.0
So in Deathwish, Cal and Niko are having almost as many personal problems as their usual problems. Cal discovers that he can create gates now without even trying. Promise introduces the brothers to an old vampire friend of hers named Seamus for a job. Seamus seems to believe he's being followed, but even with his vampire-heightened senses he can't seem to pinpoint by who. Niko and Promise's relationship is put on rocky status when Promise also turns out to be a not-so-proud mother of a vampire daughter. Niko doesn't mind Promise being a mother. He does however have a problem with the fact that Promise completely omitted huge parts of her life to him. Omitting the truth is pretty close to a lie to Niko, and someone who lies is someone Niko can't trust. Promise's daughter not only causes trouble with their relationship, turns out she's also stolen something from a powerful being and he's headed their way. The Auphe are still chasing the brothers too. There's only so many problems the brothers can handle before one of them begins to crack.
FINALLY we get every other chapter told from Niko's POV. I really enjoyed those chapters and it didn't decrease my undying love for him. It was interesting seeing Cal and the other characters thorough his eyes. I don't want to give too much away, but I do have to say poor Niko. Poor Cal too, but this time it's Niko's turn and that was pretty sad. I loved it though, can't wait to read the next one.
