After reading the first book of this series, I was sure I'd love Exquisite Breath of Darkness. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be. The book had me confused a bumper of times. For instance, how are the vampires using Zacks blood? In the last book, Zack had taken off with Dmitri in pursuit. Okay, I assume he was overtaken by Demitri but is he alive or dead? If he is alive, why aren't the other Deamons who have fought hundreds of years by his side, going all out to rescue him? If they are as loyal to one another as the author has led you to believe, I would assume his friends would do everything to remove him from harm. If he is dead, why is there no mention of it? Also, there are 2 vampires who Joseph supposedly helped by bringing them to an earlier time but they are never introduced to the reader. Because of Joseph's assistance, all the other vampires are out to get him. But who are these other two and what is their connection to Joseph? And what about Mia and Mary? I assume Mary is out to get Mia because Mia rescued Julie as mentioned in the previous book,. But I'm not certain. There were a few times I thought that I must be reading the third  book of the series and missed the second which would have given the information and history you would need to follow the plot of this book. But unfortunately, there there is no second book to bridge the first book with this book, Exquisite Breath of  Darkness.I found the main characters to be loveable and well described and the love scenes between the deamons and their mates to be romantic and well written.  BUT there has to be more . The plot has to be well defined and easy to follow.
