This is the 3rd book in the series and continues nicely from Red-Headed Step Child and The Mage in Black.

Not only must Sabina, Adam and Giguhul find Maisie and battle Sabina and Maisie's Vampire Bitch Domina Grandmother Lavinia but unite the Dark Races, stop Cain from coming to Earth and go against some secret fraternities.

The story is jam-packed with ass kicking, frustrating dead-end leads and some existential soul searching. Sabina grows in this books as well as her relationship with Team Awesome. I didn't get annoyed with Sabina trying to deal with get emotional baggage and it wraps nicely though not the story arch (yey!)

I love the Brooks/PW character and cheered when Mac got a bitch-slap (pardon the pun).

As this is the 3rd book in a series of 5 there are still many a loose end an it will leave you wanting more.

WOW!! I've really enjoyed The League series and the interplay between the core group/generation if characters and this has made me a very happy fan (of the series and Sherrilyn Kenyon's books).

Born of Silence fits well in the series, every character has had an extremely hard life and dealt with a lot of abuse but Darling Cruel has taken so many mental and physical beatings how is still functioning I can't understand!

Its great to see a different into lay between the lead characters of Darling and Zarya and I absolutely love Maris.

This book is akin to Acheron from The Dark-Hunter Series in that it looks at the extreme level and lifetime as well as ongoing abuse one person is subjected to but please don't make the mistake of thinking they are the same; or indeed The League Series and The Dark-Hunter Series are the same.

Really give this book a going you're a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon, but if suggest reading the series on order it'll make the multiple characters a lot easier to understand.

Also, anyone else think Nero was doing some special healing mojo like in The League short story 'Ice and Fire' (Nyks son Aldon's story)?? ;)
