The characters are, yet again, facing danger. More danger, I think, than they're faced so far. Bishop seems to be the vamp nobody wants to face or mess with, but in the end for some reason, he didn't seem 'big and bad' to me? Maybe in the next book everything he's capable of will show itself, but seemed his two sidekicks had more strength than he did. 
 I really enjoyed this story because each of the characters we love are facing big issues, Claire, Shane, Eve, and Michael. And did we not see a different side to Oliver in this book? I truly don't know how I feel about him. He gives me whiplash!
