I agree with all of the previous reviews and I recognize and trust two of those reviewers to give me the truth about the story. But,I would still like to add to them, a little.To be honest, the book reminded me a lot of "A Thread of Deepest Black" (Minus the whole BDSM thing-there's none in this book), so I had to reread it before I rereading this one and giving a review.They were similar in that both were about vampire's and opposite factions coming er...clashing together, dark and bloody, they both had witty dialogue and banter between the two main character's, and I became totally and emotionally vested in both the main characters and even a lot of the minor ones too!But they were also so very different. I think this one actually scared me more! And, I think it might actually be a little bloodier too. There were some parts that I was just thinking...OUCH! OUCH! OOOOWWW! Too much detail, but still good reading, though!SPOILERS TO FOLLOW...SPOILERS TO FOLLOW...SPOILERS TO FOLLOW...An example of what I mean from this book (83% through)"Muscles straining, he inched his right hand up along its stake. An enraged bellow leaped from him when the flesh caught on the flange at the top. Blood ran down his arm. The scent drove him on. He jerked his hand up toward ceiling, tearing skin and flesh, the sickening crack of bone drowning out Mick's spell......Richard's damaged hand still had a working thumb and two fingers. He reached over and grasped the stake pinning his chest. He pulled. The stake worked free inch by agonizing inch..."See...Bloody and painful, right???My point in including this part in the review, besides the obvious, is that it's a turning point. As a heads up to tender hearted readers (guilty), once you get to this point, the story lightens up, I thought so anyway. The book started out light, with a touch of humor, grew extremely dark about half way through, so that I was sitting on the edge of my seat...And then ended with me feeling good and ROFLMAO! It was quite a roller coaster of emotions.P.S. My favorite part of the book was the epilogue with the whole tree episode! Too funny! HAHAHAHAHA!
