Comment: I liked this book much more than the previous one. It brought back several characters from other books, and it was fun to see them. I also liked how the news of vampires were given to Alex, although her reaction and acceptance appeared too fast to be realistic. the romance was good and they had chemestry which contributed to make things seem more believable.
I think it was a nice new installment in the series.

Comment: I loved this book, much more than the previous two I've read. This story focused on a different set of rules and issues and it was a good variation from the usual things the author puts in her books. The story was both funny and tender and I liked the fantasy government there. I think it was a fluid story, not so "dark", and allows the reader to enjoy it more. I mean, I also shed a tear here and there but I wasn't consummed with bad feelings because of what was happening. A very good story.
