I usually like to read a series back-to-back. But, this time I couldn't. It has been a couple of months since I read the first 2 books in this series. Even so, I picked right up in the story almost immediately.

Ariel Tachna gives us a unique view of vampires and sorcerers alike. The partnership between the two is something I have not seen before. The sex scenes, although not all are "scorching", definitely have something here for everyone. This particular book contains M/M, M/F, F/F, some "rough" play, although no bondage I remember. There is one instance of possible non-consensual sex.

I become more caught up in the characters as the books progress. Even though Orlando and Alain are the main couple the story revolves around, many of the secondary couples are quite important. All are distinctly different in the way they interact with each other. Each couple seems to have their own flaw or hardship to overcome. With probably half a dozen couples, you would think the plot would get muddled. It doesn't. I don't know how she does it, but Ms Tachna is really good at revealing the private aspects of the couple's interactions while still moving the main plot along.

I am really enjoying this series. I almost hate to read the last one, because then it will be over.
