In this third book of the series, Anja is finally settling in to her vamp life. Her sire has been found and has agreed to stay away from her so she and her vampire cop can build their relationship. She has moved in with Bishop and they seem to be happy. She is learning how to be a vampire, and because of her bloodline, and some well placed lies she has earned herself a reputation as someone not to be messed with.Unless it's the Order, the organization that Bishop works for as an enforcer. She has no pull with them what so ever. Because if she had she never would have allowed Bishop to be sent over seas to work with the Order's London office. He has no idea what he is to be doing over there or how long he will be there.Rob her body guard, wanting to make up for lying to her, suggests a trip back to his homeland, and to see Bishop. He is happy to see her when she arrives, but is fearful for her safety. There is a Hunter on the loose in London and he has been taking out vampires.In true Anja style, she cant resist stepping on a few toes and once again finds herself in trouble and needing help covering up what she has gotten herself into.She also learns something very important about herself. Because of who her sire is, Jakob, she has abilities that most other vampires do not. One of these abilities has the power to tear her relationship with Bishop into shreds.I liked the fact that this book took us out of San Francisco, and into a new territory. We meet some new characters, both bad and good. We were left with a lot of unanswered questions. Things were just left hanging. Anja has been offered new opportunities in the vampire community, and once again we don't know where things are going with her and Bishop. I'm getting a bit weary of the whole back and forth thing with the two of them. I'll probably read the next one just to see how this storyline is wrapped up. But I hope it gets better fast. I really like the characters the author has built for us. And I understand the need to build drama and create conflict. But I think it can be done in other ways. Either let the characters be happy together and deal with whatever comes up together, or send them in separate directions and learn to live with each other that way. I really dislike this back and forth drama.
