A vampire never gets old. But neither do his enemies. When a figure from Ethan's dark past makes a splashy debut in Chicago, Merit and her Master don't know whether he's friend or foe. But they'll have to figure out soon, because trouble is brewing in the Windy City. 

     At an exclusive society soiree attended by the upper echelons of the human and supernatural worlds, Merit and Ethan barely stop the assassination of a guest. When the target turns out to be a shady businessman with a criminal edge, Merit suspects a human vendetta. But the assassins have fangs...

     The connections to Chicago's Houses go deeper than Merit knows, and even one wrong move could be her last...

     Again some time has passed since the ending of the last book in which Ethan and Merit found a letter in their room signed by Ethan's maker.

     In this book we find out who Balthazar is and what happened to him after he was attack and presumed dead.

     Again it is Merit's job as Sentinel of house Cadogan to make sure that the master is safe. Which is why she needs to find out what is going on and why Balthazar is still alive.

     One of the things that I like about these books is that the same enemy keeps coming back again and again until they have completely defeated it. I also like that all the books are connected. There is always something happening that takes you back to previous books.

     I love all the characters and how they get together when the need arises to protect their family and friends. I cannot wait to read the next book and see what else is in store for this vampires.
