And certainly not Lucian Agrado, the necromancer who is liaison to the vampire community. Agrado is supposed to be part of the solution, but Tess suspects he might be part of the problem. Soon she finds herself in the middle of a paranormal conspiracy that will change her life forever—and possibly end it. 2376324 27 5 2008 Night Child (OSI, #1) total:88|5:4|4:33|3:24|2:23|1:4| 88 274 203 34 2 3 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 13:38:34 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 17:02:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 04:17:48 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 04:55:09 -0700 2009

Night Child was a pretty interesting book. This was actually released in 2008, but I just read it on the spur of the moment last night and today. I happen to have the second book (Flash of Hex) and will probably start that one soon.
