This is the fourth book in the Lockwood Chronicles series and is, once again, a short story which makes it a quick read.Madeleine and Alexander are still very happy together and enjoying married life. Madeleine's mum has sent her boxes containing items left to her by her grandmother, who had moved to a nursing home some 20 years before. On sorting through these boxes Madeline finds a painting showing Moira, her great great grandmother who died 200 years before.On further investigation she finds other items relating to Moira which help Madeline to uncover a long hidden family secret. This secret totally changes things for both Madeline and Alexander.Add into this the arrival of Alexander's maker, Stormy. She has come to get him back, but is not prepared for what she finds in Madeline.Stormy is not unfamiliar with Moira, but to what extent?This story adds yet another dimension to the story of Madeline and Alexander, letting the reader know more about where Alexander came from and how he became a vampire. We also get to know more about Madeline's past and her family history.How will her past affect Madeline's present, and indeed her future? Will Stormy prove to be one foe too many for them both? And let's not forget that there are another few people plotting in the background to discover the truth about Alexander and bring him to justice.The ending promises far more to come, I cannot wait to see what happens next.
