I was a beta reader for this excellent novel, and I am so happy to see it up and ready to buy. The main story is very different from his previous two novels, something that worked in his favour (though I missed Michelle and Aaron) for expanding the universe. The sex scenes are great, the character development is really great, and the pace is tight. The author likes his hardboiled crime plots, but he handles them well, and they're a lot of fun to read. The morals are even greyer than previously, and this is the only time I've ever seen research about legal matters in a book put in with such flair and panache. The sex, of course, is great, but you can expect that from this author's writing. All in all, it's a solidly written contribution to the genre, with the delightful advantage of being written from a human perspective.The only critique I will offer is that sometimes the villainess was a bit flat, and the ending was a little rushed. It's worth mentioning, but chances are, it won't slow you down.Tired of vampires? Losing hope of finding anything other than watered-down, angsty teen crushes? Don't hesitate to drop the money for this book. You will thank yourself and breathe a sigh of relief as you settle into the blood-drenched, twisted story.*note: I received this for free in exchange for an honest review.*
