This is the second book in the Forged Bloodlines series. This one picks up exactly where the first one left off.Anja is a newly turned vampire, but she is different from other "noobs". She is strong and faster and her blood tests show her to be much older than she is. Her sire, Jakob has not yet stepped up to claim her as his. So Bishop, an enforcer with the Order has stepped in to mentor her into her new life. Jakob is an "Ellri" an elder of sorts, he is one of the first vampires, he was born not made. That also makes him something of royalty to the vampire community. As such he is not answerable to their laws.Anja is finally settling in to her new life and still trying to fit into her old one as well. She is attending college on a music scholarship. She and Bishop have come to an understanding about their relationship, and so far no interference from Jacob.But somebody in the vampire community is not happy with Anja. They have broken into her apartment and destroyed everything, left the blinds open so she was burned while she slept, some of her classmates have turned their back on her spreading viscous rumors about her, and attacked her sister.To complicate things, Jakob shows up and what to spend time with her. Which means Bishop has to break it off with her. He cant lay claim to her when she belongs to Jakob.I liked this second book as much as the first. I really like the characters, and the stories are well written. We were left with a bit of a cliff hanger that sets up the next book. I look forward to how Anja and Bishop with work through this new bump in their road.
