    			  Really like the world being created by this author.  One thing that is really interesting about reading urban fantasy vs &quot;normal&quot; fantasy is that you have the same basic elements (vampires, lycanthropes, and the sidhe) but each other puts a different spin on them.  Sometimes they are nice, gentle and simply misunderstood and other times they are evil and forces to be dealt with.  Drake finds an interesting way of making them strong and doesn't back down from their basic strength but still makes you empathize and understand them.  I like complicated heroes and villians so I am really looking forward to read the next two books!

    			  I still like the Mercy books better but this book made me like A&amp;O more than I previously was.  I am beginning to warm a bit to Charles but I am hoping that Anna continues to bring him out of his shell even more in future books.

    			  I started to read this and then found myself lose interest half the way through.  I found the first book rather enjoyable and started to get hung up on the second.  It just seemed to draw on for no particular reason.  The characters were more shallow and fluffy than most of Lackey's books.  She is one of those authors who has books that range from almost too intence to seemingly novice - this was definitely the latter.  I also found it odd that her website had them in the wrong chronological order (or I am more confused than I originally thought).<br/><br/>I may go back and pick it up again some day but it is rare that I can walk away from a book in the middle - and after doing so it will take an extreme hunger to pull me back.

    			  Not my favorite book in the series ... likely one of my least really.  I can't see myself picking it up for a reread but it was nice nonetheless.  I hope that Fin gets his own book or at least shows up again because he seemed like a really nice guy and I would like to hear more from him.

    			  I LOVE Jeremy.  LOVE LOVE LOVE him!  So it isn't hard to understand why I enjoyed this installment in the series.  It was really great to finally hear about his and Clay's history and understand more about their relationship and what makes them tick.  I also liked the small part at the end with him and Jaime again - it brought the book in a full circle that made everything nice and neat.  Truly well written!
