I was prepared for this one to be as dry as "first drop of crimson", which was the first in the night world series, it had an excellent plot but missed the charm that Frost's other books have in heap fulls. This one succeeds where the first book didn't. Again, another excellent story full of charm, drama, passion and intrigue. 
 These books, unlike the night huntress, is told from two perspectives. That takes a book that would have read one dimensionally and creates many new angles to be explored and enjoyed by the reader. This book was missing Ian, which is a downside, love his character to death, but other than that I have little complaints.
