Fitting into the Old World isn’t going very well for Boulder boundary
witch Allison “Lex” Luther: she may have earned a place in a vampire’s
service, but now it seems as if every supernatural creature in town has
found a reason to hate her. And when Lex and her partner are assigned to
investigate the suspicious disappearance of two vampires during the
night of the full moon, they find themselves with more questions than
answers.
Was it murder…or mutiny?
The crusade for answers
will lead Lex all over the Colorado Old World, from a prison cell for a
broken werewolf to a haunted Denver brothel. And when Lex determines the
responsible party, the hunt is just beginning: something has been
awakened in Boulder, something as old and powerful as it is terrifying.
Only the woman with death in her blood can stop what’s coming.
I
wanted to love this, and don't get me wrong I liked it, and it was a
strong like, but after the set up from the first book I was hoping we
would dig deeper into the characters. I thought the plot was good, but
the characters are feeling a little flat to me. I was even rooting for
Lex and Quinn romantically speaking, but that also felt kind of flat.
Where is the spark? Where is the excitement of this new
relationship—the will they or won't they? There was no tease there that
I would have loved to have seen. I also would love some humor mixed
into the story in general.
As I said, I thought the book was
good plot-wise. I really got into the whole thing between the vampires
and the witches and trying to figure out who was behind things, and that
was what really saved the book for me. A couple of the plot twists were
a little obvious to me, but overall it was good.
Despite some disappointments, I'll continue on to the next book.
