First in the series, but a spin-off from the "Blood" series with Henry Fitzroy. I think it might take a bit to figure out the relationship between Henry and Tony if you haven't read the earlier. On to this book, which just dragged on and on for me. Tony, Arra, and Henry chase a shadow. Then they do it again. And again. The first quarter moves, the last quarter moves, but the middle 50% just drags on and on with no forward momentum. We don't really get just WHY the Shadowlord has such a fixation about Arra; we don't have curiousity from Tony or Henry about this whole other world Arra comes from. I could go on. There are good bits of course, some good chase scenes and a lot of nice snarky dialogue, plus a bit at the end which leaves you with enough interest in Tony to maybe pick up the next. Oh, and if it matters to you, Tony is gay and Henry the vampire is bi, but there are no "scenes" to speak of.
