Hmmm, same rating as the last one, this book was a bit more polished plotting-wise. I like this really dark, Anne Rice-ish world the author has created. It gets a BIT tiresome reading TOO MUCH at once, so I don't wanna read all 5 books in a rush, but that's ok, I'll piecemeal it out and enjoy a trip to the dark side occasionally until I get through the whole series. Enjoyed how the Vampire lore progressed, confused about the motivations of the Faerie people, but I was along for the ride enough to recommend as a good followup to #2!
