Second book in the series. I enjoyed it, and am going right into the third one immediately. As other reviewers have stated, not a lot of progress is made in Mira's relationship with Danaus (at least not romantically), but I'm taking this in stride realizing this is a series that will stretch the story over quite a few novels and so a slow building and revealing is to be expected. I see this as no different than Harry Potter and other series where more questions are raised than answered until the very end. I do think some important issues were faced between the way Danaus and Mira relate to one another. I think they will continue to face future crises that test how they are bound to one another as they seek to establish once and for all what their true relationship is to one another - temporary allies, ultimate enemies, reluctant friends, possible lovers? I think this will be clear to us in the future, and I'm just patiently waiting for the puzzle pieces we've been given so far to fall into place and fit together. There is a lot of vampire politics in book 2, but again, I think this is necessary for us to ultimately understand the big (final?) picture. I think enough plot and action were provided to give a good story, and I liked the further involvement and development of secondary characters from the first novel, as well as the introduction of a few new characters. I liked learning more about Mira's history, and although questions still remain, I believe all will be revealed in future novels. I look forward to Danaus's history being explained in future novels, as well. We're given intriguing tidbits about him in this book that I can't wait to learn more about (**Spoiler Alert: More to come on the boris and his relationship to them, I'm sure). All in all, there's a lot to look forward to in future books, and I can't wait to continue the story/series.
