First on her hit list is Gregor, the renegade vampire who schooled her in brutality, then betrayed and tortured her. To achieve her deadly ends, Briar joins the inscrutable Reaper and his misfit gang of vampires who are also hunting her old mentor.
But once she's destroyed Gregor, she'll be gone. The group means nothing to her. Not even Crisa -- damaged, defenseless, a liability in every way -- the childlike vamp with whom Briar shares a blood bond. Or Reaper. Though they shared one moment of pure passion, it's not as though Briar has feelings for him.
Because Briar needs no one. She needs only to satisfy her twin hungers -- ones that may ultimately consume her.« less
3rd in the series. Love these books. Gregor uses Crisa to try and trap Reaper and Briar. The gang's all there - Jack & Topaz, Seth & Vixen, Topaz's mother Mirabella, and the humans Roxie and Ilayana. Good read. Finished it in one day!!!
I really enjoyed this book, having read the first two of the series. There was more romance than action which I like. I dislike sex scenes that go on for 2-3 pages, they're usually all the same. Not to say that there isnt sex in the book - it was just better written and fit well with the storyline. I'd say this was the best written of the series.
For some reason, I just couldn't connect with the characters in this book. Admittedly, I read it out of sequence, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
The Wings in the Night series is actually pretty good. I've read better books like these though. This is the best one of the series because it finally gets to Reaper's story.
