Book 2 in the Sanguinary Series see's Angel in a good space after her separation from Ash. She's moved on and is pursuing her dream of being an author but has definitely not gotten over him, every glimpse of him is torture as she know's their meant to be together but also that their no good for one another.Although their not together she's still in contact with the other band members and is supporting them in Cardiff's battle of the Bands when a murder devastates their lives and pulls her back into Ash's drama.Knowing how their all suffering Angel help's out how she can by putting her emotions and needs on the back burner while tending to everyone else.Life is never dull for this group though as their secret seems to have gotten out to a Hunter who's all consuming thought is to destroy the evil of the Vampires regardless of who's caught in the crosshairs.A modern energetic read with high emotions and graphic erotic scenes suitable for the more mature reader.I have a very love/hate relationship with Angel as I want to bang her head against a wall sometimes as she always thinks of herself second but she's determined to do and have what she wants even if it means having to defend her actions. Abit mystified as to why every guy seems to fancy her but she is the leading lady I suppose.Got to be honest but i'm really not a fan of Ash as a leading man. He loves Angel more than life but he's insanely jealous and very selfish with putting his emotions first. His drinking and smoking is referred to often which did irritate me a little as it's not my type of thing and again he's putting his own wants before Angel.Now Jay is my perfect guy in this tale as he loves Angel and fits with her like a puzzle piece while being a cheeky flirt.Some scenes I found frustrating as I wanted Angel just to scream "I'm here aswell" BUT the twists and turns were compelling and the villain was just the right amount of crazy to make you hate him but want to read more to see what happens next.Ash was improving by finally showing some restraint towards the end so lets hope he redeems himself in my eyes for the third installment.Wouldn't say this is suitable for the YA reader due to the graphic and sexual nature of it but it is pretty tame compared to some.
