My Reaction in a Nutshell: 
 DAMNNNNNNNNNNN. 
 The Long Version: 
 In Allie's life, nothing comes easy, including the hunt to free her sire from a deranged lunatic torturing him into insanity. 
 Similar to the previous book, this is not a light, happy, or sexy read. This is dark, gritty, and, at times, horrifying. 
 I really am trying my best to not spoil things because so much happens in such a short book. New characters are introduced. Old characters come back. Some people live. Some people die. There's torture and imprisonment and a lot of walking. This book is fast-paced and intense and very, very good. 
 (view spoiler)[That ending crushed me. (hide spoiler)] 
 If for some reason you weren't a fan of the previous book, give the rest of the series a shot. It's a great read about humanity, monsters, plagues, friendship, betrayal, revenge, death, torture, survival, and trust. 
 So, so good.
