3.5 Stars I enjoyed this book and I like Vlad as a character from the Cat & Bones series. Leila is a circus perform after a childhood accident left her a human electric eel with psychic powers - she's a good character and I see the potential for her to be strong enough to challenge Vlad as we see more of her - he doens't need a push over and that would justbe boring. 
 I have to say that I'm a little tired of the "he kidnapped me, but didn't actually hurt me, and he's way sexy...so he must be a good guy" storyline in PNR, but as far as that goes this was well done and I will definitely read the second installment of this spin-off series.
