I have to say that out of the four books in this series that I’ve read this one is by far my favourite. I’m not sure what it was about this book exactly, I just felt like the storyline got so much deeper and more daring. One of the things that I love about this series is how the vamps are still mostly “evil”.
The addition of Bishop, Ysandra and Francois just made that much more apparent.
The intrigue just gets deeper and deeper.
I can usually “see” some twists coming but this series keeps me guessing the whole time. And then springs things on me that I wouldn’t expect.
You need to read these if you haven’t already. You’ll get hooked. Promise.
And now my favourite part, sharing some of the quotes I enjoyed the most...
She put a hand lightly on his stomach.
“You’re hurting,” she said.
“Only when I bend over. When did you get so short, anyway?”
“Five minutes ago.” She rolled her eyes, playing along, but she was worried.
and a couple of paragraphs later...
“Don’t do anything dumb,” she said. “Or I’ll kill you myself.”
“Ouch, girl. Whatever happened to unconditional love around here?”
“It got tired of visiting you in the hospital.” She held his eyes for a long few seconds.
(After Eve pulls out the first aid kit)
“Shirt off.”
“You only love me for my abs.”
“Shut up, loser. Shirt off.”
With a glance toward Claire, Shane pulled it over his head and tossed it on the breakfast table next to him.
“Crap,” Shane breathed as they stood together looking into the fridge. The shelves held leftover chili, some pasta stuff, hamburger patties. Enough for them, for a couple of days. Not enough for anywhere near the number of people in the house, even for the humans. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking.”
“I’m thinking we have about fifteen vampires and no blood,” Claire said. “Is that it?”
“No, I was thinking we’re out of chips. Of course that’s what I was thinking.”
"I'm gonna kill him," Eve said, or at least that was what it sounded like filtered through the pillow.
"Stake him right in the heart, shove garlic up his a#*, and-and-"
"And what?" (Michael)
"When did you get home?" Claire demanded.
"Apparently just in time to hear my funeral plans. I especially like the garlic up the a#*. It's...different."
