We pick up where The Charmed left off. Olivia's just arrived at the hunters base where she will not only be safe from vampires but will learn how to protect herself. Her hope is to learn to not only use her power but also learn to fight vampires so that she can go back to Caleb. That is, if he still remembers her after their time apart.The beginning half has a lot of new characters in it. We meet Olivia's protectors, fellow dhampirs and some of the Elders. I didn't find the new addition to be confusing at all. Christine wrote each character in a way that they were distinguishable by their words and actions. And I must say that whether you were a fan of Alec or not in the first book, you will be a fan of his before you are finished reading this. Not in the sense of "Alec & Olivia" but just Alec as a person. He went from the arrogant cocky s.o.b in the first book and really steps up to the plate in this one. Not to mention that steamy elevator scene *fans herself* let me tell you... that scene wasn't overly explicit since Olivia is overhearing it with her dhampir hearing but the images my imagination came up with... wowza!I really enjoyed this story. I can't wait until the next book comes out although I will be sad to see the story end. I've fallen in love with all the characters. Hopefully the last book brings together the new characters that we got to meet in this book.-Book Sniffers Anonymous
