In Necessary Evils by Miriam Michaels, the third installment in the Will O'Hara vampire series, we find Will recovering from wounds he sustained in a vicious fight with his brother Peter.  Will wakes up in his female neighbor's apartment to the sound of voices talking and laughing and discovers that his brother, Peter has managed to manipulate his way into the apartment and gain the trust of the women who live there.  Will spends much of the short story trying to protect one of the roommates, Koshii, from his evil brother.  After a series of flashbacks that recount both Will's history and Peter's as well, Will takes care of the situation and makes plans for his future.In this third installment, I felt the author spent a lot of time repeating the backstory that had already been presented in the two previous installments.  Combined with that and the flashbacks, the story didn't progress as much as it had in the other two installments.  I was hoping for a little better flow.  That being said, the author wound back around and found a good place to wrap things up without closing the door on future installments.  All of Will's sexual adventures left me wondering if there might be a vampire son or daughter wandering around out there who might show up in installment four.
