This is the 2nd book in the Dark Days series. Mira reminds me of the vampire in Forever Night who wanted to retain his humanity. She also reminds me of Anita Blake who is not quite sure what she is but feels a responsibility to take care of those she cares about while creating a home. Her relationship with Danaus is absolutely fascinating because it shows all the nuances of friendship between to people who trust each other even when they don't like the choices being made.

Mira is one of the most complex characters among the women warriors. It's a pleasure to read about a woman warriors without plowing through her various orgies with numerous men. It's also a pleasure to read about a woman who kicks butt with vulnerabilities as well as strength that allows the reader to see a person I'd like to have as a friend.

This story does not capture my interest like the first Dark Days novel - Nightwalker.
I almost didn't finish the book because of the various subplots involving the other characters: Tristan, The Watchers, The Coven:Sadira, Valerio, Jabari, Macairi, Elizabeth, Gwen and Rowe.(and that's not all of them

The story would be better if I Mira had more allies and fewer folks trying to kill her.
The final struggle is the meat and the best part of the book. I recommend it for the , the main characters (Mira and Danaus) the fights with the Coven and the intrigue.
