I really enjoyed this book!  I love the Irish background, and the lore that Laura Kaye has concocted is creative and new.  I particularly liked the vampire-human symbiotic relationship element.  The camaraderie between Kael and his right hand man is fun and loyal, while the chemistry between him and Shayla is respectful and heartwarming.They've both felt the tragedy of loss, and it unites them in their views of an endless war, and makes them understand each other on a level few others truly can.  Things go all wrong when they first meet, leaving Shayla in tears and Kael in a rip-roaring mood.  He returns to her contrite, surprising her, and from there they're helpless to resist the pull between them.  As a reader, you end up just as helpless to resist the story Laura Kaye has provided.
