"pretty good like the last 2...~sPoIlErS~~ still cant really understand why she hates Jean-Claude so much. kinda confusing, he put the 3 marks on her to save her life all 3 times but she would rather die than be tied to him in any way. i think he loves her on some level and she loves him too but she doesn't want to cause he is a vampire. still a good book!"

" Incredible book series. So glad they are available as an audiobook. Makes it much easier and more convenient to go through the books and re listen to them more frequently. Really good narration, some of the male characters sound very similar which makes it a bit difficult to determine who is speaking at the time. "

— Daz, 9/23/2018" Full of action with a touch of shapeshifting, vampire hunting, a murder or two and the latest creepy ... the Lamia. With each book she gets better and better .... "

— Danielle, 1/15/2014" My ratings system is as follows. One star is GOOD. The book is entertaining, easy to read and you don't want to stop reading because something about the book is compelling you not to. Two stars is GREAT! This time the story is not only entertaining, but highly creative, unique, easy to read and hard to put down. Three stars is EXCELLENT. Here the book has all aspects of one and two stars, but now the book is thought and emotionally provoking. Four is AWESOME. This is the read that is not only creative, original and emotionally and utterly captivating, but you are overwhelmed at how talented and skilled the author is in telling you their story. Literary brilliance. Five is PHENOMENAL. This is the book that has all the components of the previous four ratings but leaves that lasting impression. It's the book that changes dramatically your point of view and your interpretation of experiences you or others around you endure. "
— Cherie, 1/13/2014" This is the book where we meet Richard. Jean-Claude is around in all his fanged glory and there are new baddies in town. Anita and Edward team up to bring down the baddies & readers get to find out a tad more about lycanthropes in Hamilton's world. All in all a less gruesome (for me at least) read than the last book. On to the next :) "
