"This book takes a slight distance from the Brotherhood, but it doesn't make it less of an experience.As with the rest of the series, you follow the vampire population of Caldwell, but from a slightly different angle. Personally, I liked the break from the Brotherhood,a s this book creates a more complete picture of the universe, which makes it a good fit for the reader. As usual, the writing is easy to get into and the narrator, Jim Frangione, makes it a fun ride all the way through. "

— Marla, 12/20/2013" No. Just no. Should have been at least ok. But...snore for Rhev & Ehlena. It was the other stuff that made it worth the skim. "
