I really enjoyed the Darkyn series (5 stars for all) but this spinoff wasn't up to par. It was very hard to get into and jumps back and forth in time (ancient Rome, 1998 and 2008) with different, seemingly unrelated characters and newspaper clippings that totally came out of left field. Over half way through, it started making sense and got interesting but the main characters Matthias and Jessa were both really unlikeable. You learn nothing about Matthias until the very end and Jessa has a major attitude problem. I enjoyed the return of Samantha, Lucan and Alexandra which sort of tied it to the Darkyn. The ending was a little forced and way too convenient.
