Helpful Score: 6
Set in the same world as her other vampire novels, this book takes a little different bent: We follow not a couple, but a whole troupe of unusual individuals. Seth is linked to Vixen and must save her. Reaper has an unusual attraction for darkly twisted Briar. Jack stole from Topaz, but she still loves him. I've never had to keep up with so many characters and couples in one of this author's novels. It was distracting.
Seth is a newly made vampire, learning the ropes and caught up in this adventure because of his own strong link to another newly-made vampire, Vixen, who is also a werefox(!) and a tortured prisoner that Seth must rescue.
Reaper is a vampire assassin and Seth's maker. Gregor is also a vampire and is the one holding Vixen. Briar is a member of Gregor's team and the terribly twisted torturer of Vixen.
If you are a regular Shayne reader, some characters and situations will be familiar: Rhiannon makes a cameo appearance. Roxanne/Roxy the one Chosen who will not die young of her affliction, plays a significant role. Jack and Topaz are just silly vampires. Toward the end of the book, we meet Ilyana, another Chosen who apparently heads off into the sunset for her own future book.
Shayne writes well enough to keep my attention, and I usually really like her books, the most interesting thing about which are her characters. I liked some of these characters, but others drove me crazy with their stupidity. You'll just have to try it for yourself.
