The second book in the series, you really do need to read the first to be aware of what is happening.  In this book, the focus is more on the romance and the conflicts that arise from these unbidden and heretofore unthinkable feelings.Starting a bit slowly, this installment finds hunter Istvan still recovering from his injuries received in the battle with the bad vampires, and he is still moving and functioning at less than his best.  He is looking to get answers to questions, and putting himself face to face with Angyalka, the vampire he believes holds the answer.Unfortunately, he is in no shape to battle an angry and revengeful vampire who is having a moment, and isn’t 100% certain that she can understand the draw and attraction she has for this hunter.  While the two dance about one another, trading witty barbs and sexual favors for information, Istvan is attracted to and appreciates Angualka, but she is still a vampire: and he sees her as an enemy with all of his being.The story and connection between these two is a constant struggle with trust and fear: neither has a real reason to trust in the other, yet together they must search out who Is threatening their lives and livelihood, and just what threat they may be to the overall new view for the world.  Steamy moments alternate with internal struggles to find acceptance and trust between them, and there just mayn’t be time.Better paced after an initial slow start than the first story, this installment provided a paranormal story that was heavy on the romance and characters that were easy to relate to and understand even as they were so very different from one another.  This was not a stand-alone story, and really should be read after book 1 in this series for best understanding.I received an eBook copy from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
