After a long year of mourning, Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth de Lacy is back to patrolling the streets of London, making sure that vampires can no longer feed on the innocent. She soon discovers that vampires plan to seize Akvan's Obelisk, an artifact that will allow the holder to control the dead. Victoria finds herself traveling to Italy where she tries to infiltrate a group of vampire supporters in order to find out who has the Obelisk. But there are too many people in the group who may blow her cover and alert the vampires that a vampire slayer is in their midst.
This story picks up about a year after the first book ends. Victoria has decided that she is ready to pick up the stake and continue her role as Venator. Max has returned to Italy and no one has heard from him in months. Sebastian Voiget appears back in London about the time Victoria finds a token that will allow her to insinuate herself into the world of the Tutela, a society of people who admire vampires.
I liked the action parts of this story where Victoria would have to save a group of people from the evil vampires. Unfortunately, that was only part of the book. The rest of the book had Sebastian continually showing up wherever Victoria would be. Sometimes he would help her, sometimes he would just leave her to fight on her own. I don't understand her attraction to him at all. The last 50 pages of the book were excellent and make the book worth reading. It also made me want to jump right into the next book in the series. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
