I want to say first that it was a decent enough read. My only problem is it read like fan fiction of J.R. Ward's BDB. I don't have a problem with fan fiction in general, but that's what this story came off as.Now to the story itself, I'm still a bit confused as to what the AKM are really doing. I understand they keep the drecks in line, but there was no real detail (through showing) of the drecks being a problem to anyone other than the vampires. I also don't understand the power structure. They have a king, but other than having to answer to the king regarding changing humans, I don't understand the social power structure of the vampire world. They are called All the King's Men without any real answers to why they have that name. Are they personal guards (obviously not), a military unit selected by te king himself, or something else altogether? This is a question easily answered and could have brought more immersion into the world.I liked the story well enough, but I find Trace more interesting than Micah. I'm sure it will be answered in other books how the hybrids (rogues) are more "powerful" than full blooded vampires despite their half breed status.
