Un deuxième tome qui est probablement mon favori de la série =)
On retrouve Rowan et Clive ici bien loin de Las Vegas mais en Allemagne pour un réunion entre Hunters et Vampires au sujet du traité et pour Rowan un retour à la "maison" ... Et j'ai adoré !
Des vampires et de la politique vampirique ?? Ajoutez à ça des conspirations, des ex et des vieux vampires homicidaires et j'allais forcément avoir un coup de cœur =) J'ai beaucoup aimé découvrir où avait grandi Rowan et tout son passé plus que complexe ... Sa relation avec Theo est compliquée, douloureuse et en même temps, je n'ai pu m'empêcher d'avoir un coup de cœur pour lui et la façon dont il l'adore !
J'ai également adoré voir sa relation avec Clive s'approfondir (il est tellement GÉNIAL ! C'est rare d'avoir des personnages masculins aussi badass qui respectent autant la force et les responsabilités de leur partenaire et je dois avouer que ça me ravit =D)
L'intrigue était bien tordue (tellement de crétins xD) et vu la fin flippante, j'ai hâte de voir Rowan partir pour se venger =)
Bref, un livre d'urban fantasy avec une pointe de romance qui ravira les fans de vampires !

A second book which is probably my favorite in the series =)
We find Rowan and Clive here, far from Las Vegas but in Germany for a meeting between Hunters and Vampires about the treaty and for Rowan a return home ... And I loved it !
Vampires and vampire politics ?? Add to that conspiracies, exes and old homicidal vampires and I was bound to have a crush =) I really enjoyed discovering where she grew up and her whole more than complex past ... Her relationship with Theo is complicated, painful and at the same time, I couldn't help but have a crush on him and how he adores her !
I also loved seeing her relationship with Clive deepen (he's so AWESOME ! It's rare to have such badass male characters who respect their partner's strength and responsibilities so much and I must admit that it delights me =D)
The plot was very twisted (so many morons xD) and given the creepy ending, I can't wait to see Rowan leave for revenge =)
In short, an urban fantasy book with a touch of romance that will delight vampire fans !

Really enjoyed this book. Rowan is a force to be reckoned with. She and Clive are perfect together. Wild ending, can't wait for the next one.

Good follow up to first book.
The office wrangling and the bickering over points of policy and following Roberts rules of order was a nice backdrop to the more typical UF fare of bad ass heroine, sexy hero and big gleaming swords. Enjoying the world and the deeper look at the relationship b/t the main characters.

Lots of politics but not in an annoying way. Love a tough and bitchy heroine whom everyone adores, full of lots of various powers.

All the things I like. Lauren Dane's writing. Vampires and political intrigue. Heroine with weapons and fighting ability.

Omg, I can't believe I am typing this, but this book lacked content. So there is this treaty right, and there are changes to be made. The least the author could do was write the wording or details of the old treaty and then give the wording for the new one that is causing all the freaking conflicts.
Ps, The antagonists were extremely stupid. I half expected them to trip on their own stakes and just die. The "grand standings" were pathetic. A freaking powerless human insulting and mouthing off to several powerful vampire. Any UF fan should know that that's a justified killed.
In a bid to make the main character seems more like a bad ass, so many things that could have improved the depth of her character were lost. And she just seemed like a broken record with muscles for brains. Then the main character felt the need to repeat the same arguments almost verbatim over and over and over again, instead of just saying what exactly the treaty was being changed into, and why the change was slight or even how the hunters will use the treaty and how effective the change would be.
I mean if this treaty is the center of the book, build it. Let me see why I should care enough to vie for the main character. Don't just repeat the events of the last book over and over and freaking over again. "I had to bypass this person and go to the head honcho. Easy access to information!" Like duh! How does that translate?
The entire book felt like a poorly developed idea or a filler.
