Wow. This one hits you from the blindside!The book is written so you keep holding your breath at every turn.Rurik has been losing his hair.  His blood thirst has increased beyond anything a normal vampire needs.  The only vamps that lose their hair is the Nosferatu but they need to be voted in to the brotherhood.....but theres no way that Rurik could be a Nos.....is there?Tane is pulled into his "brotherhood" clan, the Nosferatu to question about turning Rurik into one of them....which worries Tane, and so takes Connie with him rather than Rurik.He buffs the questions well, but when they ask to see him, he requests Connie to get him.  When out of the room, he uses their telepathic link to tell her to run with Rurik and fast.They take Tanes boat and decide to go to Rome.....probably not the best idea in hindsight.They take shelter in an abandoned orphanage that Rurik and his maker used to hide in.While Kam sets about making sure the area is safe, Rurik is hungry...again.....Only this time, Connie cant make him stop drinking and decends into a darkness.The first face she sees is Kam, and is grateful for his protection.They were losing Rurik.Tane eventually catches up with them, and they take Rurik to his maker in hopes that her bond can help him.I'm not writing the rest of the storyline - it kinda makes your jaw drop and something I've never seen in a vamp storyline occurs, and leaves you flabbergasted.Another great instalment, the relationship between Connie and Tane increase as they find solace in each other watching Rurik fade away in front of them.....Not sure if another book is planned, and if so, not sure how its gonna top this one, but ill definitely be picking it up!!
