Seven Celestial sisters "bonded" to seven "good-guy" vampires fight to save the world from evil Lario Exegis.The Sellel, or more commonly, vampire, Exegis has already deceived another sister, Fawn, into believing she was bonded to him in order to become human again, and then vampire again, somehow creating a race of vampires who can defy all vampire rules and suck the souls from humans without their permission and feed off of other vampires.In this book, Adore is called to Earth from her home in Enu and comes face-to-face with Exegis. Having never ventured from Enu in her very, very long life, she has no idea what Exegis looks like when she arrives on Earth only to find that HE is her bond. She becomes separated from him on his deceitful trip to find her sister, Navi and recover an article that he believes will give him control over all universes. Along the way, she becomes bonded to another Sellel, Chex, falling in love with him and ultimately breaking her bond with Exegis before he somehow escapes a death sentence.I think I like Adore the most of all the sisters. She is shrewd without being cynical and maintains an air of innocence, not giving in to the coarseness of those around her like her sister, Navi. She sees the details in things and is able to outsmart Exegis, who happens to be very clever and usually has the upper-hand.I'm glad this is not the last book in the series. I feel there's a lot that needs to be filled in, and the words THE END at the end have me panicking because there's a cliff-hanger! You can't end it like that, Z.L.!!!
