I always like to read a series in order, but after reading "Be Mine Tonight" (Brotherhood of Blood #1), I really wanted to get to another book quickly. This was was equally well-written, overall. Smith does write strong heroines, and all the vampires are sensual, tortured souls - totally up my alley!
You don't need to read them in order, but it appears with some small touches Smith includes that it helps. I can't wait to read the others - she has a new fan!

Thank you Smith for getting back on track with the story at hand. This is the third in the series and is more like the first in that there is more of a plot and less of the steamy bedroom scenes. As with the other reviewers, you can read these as stand alone books, and they do not have to be read in order. I agree that it did end too quickly with questions unanswered, but that only makes you anxious for the next in the series.
I liked the historical setting and the idea Smith came up with for vampires. They were created from drinking from the Blood Grail of Lilith. This one also had references to Jack the Ripper - she worked him in as part of the Order of the Silver Palm that is up to something evil, involving the attempt to capture the Brotherhood.

This book is great! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and went right back and picked up another in the series. It's dark, dangerous and really sexy.

This story was pretty good, much better than the second installment Night of the Huntress. But still, I thought the ending was too patt, rushed and left a lot of unanswered questions.
