Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But when the bloodsucking Mafioso she escaped three years ago finds Cassie again with revenge in mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection.The undead senators won't help her for nothing, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, a dangerously seductive master vampire- and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay.
I think there were too many characters being introduced and a whole load of back story for the first book in a series. Could probably have been split into 2 books and padded out with more character development. However I do like the characters of Cassie and Mercea so I would like to see how the series develops.
This was pants. Go and read something by Laurell K Hamilton instead.
