Claire is forced to fix the machine that keeps the boundaries around the town active and memories erased of those who leave, but soon she founds out that something is terrible wrong and all the townspeople including her friends memories are wiped back to three years ago. It is affecting both humans and vampires. She takes a dangerous trip into the lab to try to fix and and put things back as they should be. 
 As with the rest of The Morganville Vampire books, this was a quick read. After a catch up chapter, Rachel Caine jumps right back into the action. I found myself crying at the end of this book for the loss of a love one of one of the core four. (Don't want to spoil)
