A new story and new twist
You have to read the books, including the first series, that came before this one. Each volume has a unique story, but knowing the characters lends to the depth of the storytelling. I am a fan of this vampiric series, and love how it continues on from one to the next. Now, it's New Years Eve, and some rituals are about to begin, including a new set of surprises, as the readers and Cain have to figure out who can really be trusted, while discovering the depths of powers all around. He's not your typical blood-sucker, and there is a great connection with all the characters. Truly worth the read if you're into the undead, and semi-humans.
