I read this book without reading the first book in the series. It can be read as a stand alone. I got into the story, so I plan on going back and reading the 1st book since it definitely adds more depth to it.Arran is an old vampire who doesn't have much self worth. He thinks he can never outrun the sins of his past. He'd been living with and serving the Enclave, defending humans against the DEAD (death euphoria addicts). When the DEAD stormed the Enclave's mansion, one of his fellow Enclave members turned traitor. Arran has made it his mission to find and kill him former friend. It was during that invasion that he finally kissed Gabrielle, the human woman that he'd been drawn to for some time. Even 2 years after the invasion he still thought about her.Gabrielle, one of the few humans to live with the Enclave, was on her own mission. She hadn't heard from her sister in weeks, and neither had anyone else. While searching her sisters apartment, and talking to her friends/coworkers she hears about Wicked Ways, a gothic bar. While asking the bartender if he recognizes her sister, she runs into Arran. She's been trying to forget that he called their kiss "forgettable". Arran is furious that she's in the bar, but eventually agrees to help her find her sister, which incidentally will also help him find the traiter Markus, and Marguerite.As a heads up, and this is only my opinion, but I would say this borders on Erotica. Most of the sex in the book is m/f, but there is some m/m but it doesn't go into graphic detail.
