Valerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter-he's a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he's very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention that she's the twin sister of the wife of former Dark-Hunter Kyrian-Val's mortal enemy.) What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires-and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons-one who's managed to come back from the dead, and one who holds a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts.
This story is just not worth the paper it's printed on. After a few chapters, I really wanted to just throw it in the trash. I had read the previous book to this one and thought it was okay, but all this book is, is more of the same. The writing continues to be unoriginal and the author seems to only have characters who know how to spout cheezy one-liners like it's cool... trust me, it's not. I'm not even going to go into how a lot of the main characters have a plethora of powers and money and continue to try to "fight the good fight" when it's just ridiculous that they even participate in their "wars" when there shouldn't even be a battle because the "good guys" have so much power. Nothing is believable (as far as fantasy stories can be believed) and the imagination the author has is lacking due to all her plot-holes. There are far more authors out there who can deliver a story while not making you annoyed that there are obvious flaws to their overall narrative. I'll be avoiding this author in the future.
