I'm interested to see how Chance's two series begin to intertwine. Obviously the charachters already do, but not the heroines and in this book and the most recent Cassie Palmer book the other was mentioned. I liked that we got some insight into the characters of Mircea, Louis-Cesare, Radu and Marlowe - I definitely see this series as an offshoot of the Cassie Palmer series. I'm hoping the Dorina and Louis-Cesare are able to maintain a relationship and that she's is integrated into the family and develops a (somewhat) normal relationship with Mircea. I did find it slightly irritating that her friend Claire comes back from Faery and has a baby and there's really nothing said about it, almost like she came home with a bag of groceries or something.
