This series must be read in order. The first book isStormrise.  This is the second book.Raven so did not realize the mess she was getting herself into when she killed her stepfather (who was supposed to be dead ages ago) but now she's in a bit over her head. There is a way going on over a dead man (she SWEARS she truly killed him forever like) and the renegades who want him to rule are seriously making her crazy. All she does all day every day is kill renegades ... Investigate crimes... And defend her family as the rightful rulers of the city. It is getting to be too much... Can't her siblings help even a little? So what if she's stronger... They ARE vampires after all!Amazingly she still has the same partner and he's all in one piece ! Rupert and Raven are called Le Storm by the locals and are on a roll solving crimes and kicking butt. Then the past is brought glaringly back to haunt Raven in the form of the evil drug Thirst... And the bizarre murders that look like the end stages of Thirst Addiction. Thirst cost her her partner ... Her "little sister" and her job on vice squad... Raven is going to stop Thirst and the people who make it if it kills her. Poor Rupe has NO idea what they have gotten themselves into with this case or how far Raven will go to put it to bed for good... Preferably 6 ft under! How long can Rupert stay in the dark about the true nature of their cases? About  Raven? Read it and see!I personally believe this sequel was better than the original even if there was no real romance or sex or anything to classify it as an adult and not young adult book (other than the murders and their disturbingly graphic nature). I found it very realistic and refreshing that Raven did not rush off and jump into bed with anyone right away after Franois ripped her heart out. It isn't every day your lover drugs you and serves you on a silver platter to your mortal enemy after all :) If you liked the first book you will love this one I promise! I can't wait for the next book and really hope it is out soon!!!***This series is suitable for adult readers
