This was a fantastic tale of a young woman determined to risk everything so she could get vengeance for her murdered mother and missing father.  The author created a world filled with the devotion of a daughter and one in which the reader could easily enter and follow the journey of Faelynn as she tries to uncover information to lead her to the one responsible for her parents. Faelynn despises all vampyres and eliminates any and all she comes in contact with. But she has managed to meet one in particular that doesn't fit the usual mold of vampyre behavior. Nathaniel Valour is an elder and leader in vampyre society who is also a crossbreed with his soul still intact.  That is a secret he keeps to himself.  He finds himself awakened in a way he never thought he never would be again after coming in contact with Faelynn.  There is something about her that makes him want to help her.  But she trusts no vampyre that is until she meets Nathaniel. It's a wonderfully dark story filled with  murder...mystery...suspense....and the connection between Faelynn and Nathaniel is extremely intriguing. The author did a fantastic job with the storyline and character development.  As a reader I was able to connect with each character and follow their journey as the story unfolds. C.K. Farrell builds this world for the reader to allow them to completely visualize the journey Faelynn and Nathaniel takes to find what each want from the other.  What a great start to this series. I couldn't put it down once I started.  I wanted to see where Faelynn and Nathaniel continued this new sort of friendship.  I can't wait to read the next book in this series and see what C. K. Farrell has in store for us.  Highly recommend!
