The plot I enjoyed and there were a few surprises I really appreciated. I wished the characters were developed a little better. I don't want to give anything away but significant things happen to the side characters but it lacks emotional depth because you don't really know them. I will keep reading the series to see how the war pans out.

Lucan is your typical "I can do everything myself" alpha male. His character seems typical and nothing really stands out about him. I had a hard time liking Gabrielle even though I really wanted to. She has a great back story and the introduction to her character is really well done. Then, it fizzles for some reason. She lacks strength, and I don't mean physical. She basically does whatever Lucan tells her with very little complain. She is also not the most loyal friend in the world because when she finds out one of her friends might be involved with the bad vampires, she makes a fuss about want to see if her friend is okay for about two minutes. Then she gives up because Lucan says no. Total pushover. She does some major fighting for the relationship with Lucan and that's the only things she seems to fight for in the book. Otherwise, it's like she is half-dead. She also forgives so easily. Would have liked to see Lucan get humble and do some groveling.

I think it would have been better if she added a little more humor to it. I also am intrigued to learn more about the other warriors.

Despite all the complaints I have about the book. It kept my interest enough to finish reading it and that doesn't happen very often with characters I don't really like. So if you are looking for something to pass the time, I would recommend it. But I don't think this will knock your socks off.
