I liked this book from the very beginning.  The author’s attention to even tiny details was excellent and it put me right in the book alongside the characters.Before the first chapter ended I knew I’d be buying the sequel as the author’s writing style is spot on.The story centers mainly around two characters – Dylan finds herself left at the altar.  Reeling from that mind numbing shock (and embarrassment)  she  forces  herself to get her  life on track even if it means going to another country.She jets off to attend a symposium on a topic that’s always piqued  her curiosity- vampires.  Feeling good about putting the embarrassment of being jilted behind her, she finds herself standing square in front of a huge church and all the pent of memories and pain come tumbling from her heart.  To add to her angst- the guy she had just met turned out to be a real flake .  She thought she’d met someone with the same interest she had in vampires only to find out  he definitely wasn’t what he claimed to be.Determined, she continues on to Paris.Events occurred  there that left Dylan feeling rather unsettled and she went on to Florence (sorry no spoilers given but  I think you’ll be drawn in the same way I was and no sense spoiling it by tipping you off).When you get to Chapter 3 this story kicks up into high drive and you will be caught off guard by what transpires and swept along.  It is a fast ride along with the suspense and romance not to mention the vampires.The challenge is, more than one individual is interested in Dylan.As far as vampires -I think Nico states it best when he tells Dylan she has all these vampire stereotypes in her head.  He definitely doesn’t fit the vampire stereotype that most think of when they hear the word “vampire”.Overall- great mix of historical cities, travel, vampires, romance and suspense all neatly put together to make a great read.
