With the shocker ending of the last episode, I jumped feet first into this book - and was a little disappointed. This part, out of all the others, felt like the bridging episode I was expecting #2 to be.Yet, we still get to see more of Vanora and discover her delicate underside that is hidden by her surly exterior. We also get to see some of the inner mechanics of a vampire's mind - and not all of it is nice:"You high-brow Spanish aristocratic pig, whose genes are so inbred you're lucky you're genitals aren't growing out of your forehead, how dare you attempt to put down my great family!"Out of all the amazing dialogue, this is probably my favourite quote from the entire season.The author manages to place more intrigue in this episode also, so the reader still feels the compulsion to carry on and find out what comes next.I was finding it a little tiring, by this point though, to keep reading about Vanora being an albino who thinks she's ugly. You know it's a pet peeve of mine, and I am glad when the author starts to bleed this trait out in the next instalment.
