Cameo and the Vampire is the third in the trilogy and is the final installment. As a stand-alone book it works well with enough backstory included to fill in any blanks if you have not read the previous two. I do recommend them, however, as they will make the final story more interesting.Cameo is an assassin. She has been hired and mentored by the best assassination  company to follow their orders and do their bidding. But Cameo has gone rogue. Leaving her employers and for the first time in her life, making friends and associating with others. But, for Cameo, life has taken another turn. Bitten by a vampire she must now deal with not only enhancements to her natural talents but strange cravings for, well you know.Opal is a highwayman. A thief and all around bad boy he has thrown in his lot with Cameo while they were all being chased by Cameo's former employer. A dandy, he keeps Cameo amused with his humor and sense of fun and not-so-fair play.But Opal is not the only suitor Cameo has.Now while Cameo searches for a healer to heal the badly damaged hands of her friend, she must also protect them from not only those who would do them harm, but from herself.In each volume of the Trilogy of Shadows author Dawn McCullough-White has created a unique and interesting world for her characters. As her characters lives become more complex the author's ability to use her craft becomes better. The stories are worth the read, they are fun, interesting and full of adventure. But they are also a chance to watch a writer become better with each novel. For author watchers like me, that is a real plus.Karen Bryant Doering,Parents' Little Black BookMistBlueEeyore@gmail.com
