So much better than the first book! I don't know if I'm more frustrated with Victoria, Sebastian, or Max. But I have a feeling my faith with at least two of them will be restored, though I'm guessing that that one of the big questions of the series is: who will Victoria end up with? Sebastian shows a bit more empathy, though there is still plenty of his sarcastic, cocky humor. While the 'darkly brooding' Max is absent for a good bit of the first half of the book, he more than makes up for it in the second half.This second installment of the Gardella Vampire series gives a lot more insight into each of the main characters. You learn much more about both of the men, which is a relief. On the other hand, it also opens the floodgates to a whole new set of questions.Victoria also starts coming into her own heritage, so to speak. Her confidence in herself in the first book seemed a little premature, but she proves herself here. Can't wait to see how this series plays out!
