Helpful Score: 1

I enjoyed this book immensely, finding myself drawn into the story and not wanting to put it down.

There are some very intense BDSM passages as well as what some might consider gratuitous violence/abuse, so if you're not able to immerse yourself into another culture (the Vampire's) where that behavior truly is accepted and even expected by both the Masters/Mistresses and their servants, I would suggest this book may not be for you.

I found this to be a very touching story of love and loyalty with both participants at times questioning their thoughts and feelings (their own and each others), struggling with ingrained resistances as they try to come to grips with what their relationship could and should be.

It can be read as a stand-alone story, since the ending is not a cliff-hanger per se, but certainly there are story-line threads left hanging. For those who enjoy this book, I would say the next book in the series, The Mark of the Vampire Queen, is an absolute must-read.
