Overview :
Crimson Death, the plague like virus spawned from a failed government experiment to isolate the enzymes that make vampires immortal, continues to spread. Emberly and her partner, Jackson Miller, are desperately seeking the stolen research for a cure before the virus becomes a pandemic.
But their mission is jeopardized by another threat uncovered in Emberly’s prophetic dreams. A creature of ash and shadow has been unleashed on a murdering spree. Now Emberly must summon all her gifts and investigative knowledge to put an end to this entity’s brutal rampage—even if it means placing herself in harm’s way....
My Review :
*** 3 STARS ***
Disappointing.
After I finished book one, I could hardly wait for the second to be released. However, I was slightly disappointed.
Unfortunately, this book fell into what I like to call 'the second book bridge syndrome'. While it still had all of the authors signature flare, steamy romance, and kick butt characters; it literally was just a bridge from book one to three.
It tired up some of the questions left from book one and set the stage quite nicely for book three hence my nickname of 'the second book bridge syndrome'. So honestly, it was kinda boring for me, especially seeing as how the 'monster' in this book felt like an afterthought and want really important to the bigger story.
So, there you have it. It wasn't awful but it wasn't great and I expect a bit more from this author.
