Bitter sweet story.I had read the previous book of this series and enjoyed it. I was excited to see this book was about Enclave warrior, Arron, who was featured in the first book and really drew my interest. This book covers his backstory and love interest with human, Elle, as well as dealing with the betrayal of his best friend Markus. I still don't understand the story between Arron and Markus, but am assuming it will be covered in a later book. The author did resolve the issues though between Arron and Logan that were shown in the first book. Elle was not my favorite female character. Despite Elle after having survived a vampire attack years prior and working with the Enclave vampires for 7 years, her actions to save her sister are almost as though she doesn't understand the power of vampires and how out of her depth she was in. The "I can take care of myself" was almost too nave for someone with her vampire history and knowledge. I wish she would have been more strategic in her actions.Strengths of this story are that I'm happy to see the author did not continue/go into the part about female vampires being weaker than male vampires as was part of the first book. The bitter sweetness part surprised me but made me like the book even more and for me made it a stronger story. Live is not perfect and HEA. Still really enjoyed the book and look forward to the next in the series.
