ed to see them in their own book.

Denise has lost a lot to the paranormal world. And as much as she would like to like to leave it in the past, it isn’t quite done with her yet. But this time it isn’t vampires and ghouls, but a demon out for revenge. While I applaud her for reaching out for help to a group she had hoped to leave behind, I never quite understood why she didn’t want to Cat know what was going on.

When Spade shows up to help her, he quickly tries to take control of the situation to try and save the day – and Denise mostly lets him. She has a few ground rules, but they really don’t last for very long. Especially when they turn to the vampire underworld to help track the demon down.

While at times Denise seemed a little “maiden in distress,” I can’t really imagine most people acting differently when a demon is out to eat you. Through the book, we learn more of how vampire society (especially the less up and up portion of it) works and I really enjoyed how Jeaniene Frost built the lore behind the demon. You will not want to put this book down – the story moves steadily with a fantastic balance between action and exhaustion.
