3.5 stars for a rich setting with cool energy vampires, a lot of lush detail, and a plot that had a lot more going for it than "will they or won't they bone." Possibly a little *too* much going on for me, honestly; I got a little lost in some of the back-and-forth about who was currently (relatively) trustworthy and who was being implicated in what schemes when. And the relationship felt like it was built much more on animal attraction and the "mysterious connection" of the guys' chi bond rather than coming to an understanding of each other. Overall an engaging read, though!
