Deep in the Yucatan jungle Lukas Smith and Gretchen Finch are working hard at translating a series of ancient Mayan glyphs they have found on an altar.Lukas shouldn't exist, his transition into a Night Walker was an accidental mistake during an encounter with Calisto (whose story we read about in Night Walker) and he has been searching for ways to end his immortal life.  He has kept his true identity from Gretchen, but as the months pass he is finding it hard to admit, especially to himself, his true feelings for her.Gretchen has been working side by side with Lukas for months helping him to decipher the glyphs that they have found.  She has feelings for Lukas but she feels that he is hiding something from him.  She never sees him during the day, he works all night when she is sleeping, and she knows that Smith can't possibly be his real last name.The glyphs they find indicate a ritual was performed but they haven't been able to find the missing piece of the puzzle.  She decides one day to go back to the alter to search for clues on her own.  But when she gets there she knows that something is different, something has happened.  Or is it someone.  There is a presence and it's dark.  Even though it wants her she finds a way to fend off the evil.  She finds a way to fend off the evil voice but others cannot.  Strange deaths start to occur in surrounding areas. People start to feel `caged in' (for lack of a better term) and a voice in their minds tells them that their blood will set them free.As the story of the glyphs unfolds Gretchen finds herself drawn into a world that she never knew existed. Does that symbol really mean demon? What needs to be done to stop the evil from spreading? New and old characters must unite to stop the events occurring again, failure is not an option especially with the fate of the world in their hands.This is the second book in Lisa Kessler's Night Series, and I have been looking forward to this book since I finished Night Walker. The wait (which felt like forever) was worth it.
