This novel picks up where the first novel in the series,Darwin's Children, left off as Jaycie works to remember and understand her powers and abilities after her power surge.  I very much enjoyed this novel, especially as Jaycie and Haylee have now begun to mature to a point that they're extremely likable characters. While Jaycie does occasionally lapse in her ability to control herself, her selfishness and jaded personality has all but disappeared, and she really works to do what is right throughout this novel, endearing her to my heart.As the characters and back-story was fleshed out in Darwin's Children, this novel has less down time and much more action from the very beginning.  There is a lot going on in this novel as Jaycie, Haylee, and her family struggle to figure out what is happening to Allison and who the mystery man is killing off the vampires.  I spent a majority of this novel trying to figure out "who-done-it" and really enjoyed that aspect of mystery as well as the superb characterization.  The fact that there are many key characters, yet they remain easily definable and don't make the story difficult to follow, is a testament to Larry's writing abilities.  I think she's refined her writing in this sequel and I cannot wait for more from her.
