It's been a few months since I read Blood Claim, the first book in this series, so it took me a little bit to get back into the world of Sophia Daletsky, and to remember exactly what had happened. This dulled my enjoyment of the book a little bit, but since it's not the author's fault it took me so long to continue with the series, I can't really detract a star for it. So my advice first off is that once you start reading the series, if you enjoy it, keep going until the end, or you may find yourself a little lost when you try to pick up where you left off.Onto the book. It really did pick up right where Blood Claim left off (I think). It certainly doesn't seem as if much time passed between the end of Blood Claim and the beginning of Resurrection stone, and it's another action packed book, but what else would you expect from a book about the half-blood daughter of the original vampire that is protecting the last descendant of her father's oldest enemy? Sophia is almost like a super-charged Bella Swan with a dozen Victoria's after her, fortunately she has her own Cullen family to help her out.Once I got over my issue of forgetting the back story, I was sucked into the book, right square in Sophia's shoes. I was heartbroken over Dante's abandonment, pained by Ash's revelations, and anxious about the looming threat posed by Byron. Beyond that though, this book does a good job developing the characters and their relationships with one another. It's a lighter read, relatively simple and easy to lose yourself in, even if your mental capacity is reduced from lack of sleep (which is always a bonus for me). I will definitely be diving into Shadowed Memories shortly.Copy received in exchange for an honest review.
