Louis-Cesare is my favorite vampire from the Cassandra Palmer series and I was over joyed to find the author was doing an off shoot series with him as one of the main characters. The storyline is good one, but I'd recommend reading the short stories before diving into this so you can get an idea of what's really going on, especially with Claire.

The introduction of new characters and old was nice and the pace was easy to follow and really didn't feel like the 100mph dash through the woods, (even if it was a bit quick) like it did with the Cassandra Palmer series. It was a nice change of pace (haha) from Cassandra to Dorina and her unhinged personality. She feels a lot more real to me than Cassandra which is a bit sad and strange, but it's nice to see a heroine who kicks butt, gets hurt, but keeps on going all while not freaking out.

This is a series I plan on following til the end.
