The odd comments about possession, ownership and `strays' were starting to get on his nerves. But the warnings not to eat or drink anything at the party put Cooper on alert as did the ever changing hair and eye color of the people on the dance floor. And the closer he looked, the more agitated and frightened he became. People were dying right before his eyes and there was nothing he could do about it.  He thought he had gone to hell.  Hoping to leave, Cooper soon realized that he was trapped in a world that he knew nothing about and there may be no escaping from behind the veil.PET SHOP BOYS is a very quick read.  Kim Harrison introduces a world of seduction, blood, ownership and control.  There are many unanswered questions when Kim does not reveal the truth behind the `veil', but opens up an entire new series for everyone to enjoy.see all of my reviews at : thereadingcafe.com
