This time their investigations lead them to the borders of China and Mongolia-but it's not what lies in the pits beneath that worries Alec. It's the creator behind it all.

The action continues in this second book of the series. Alec and co. face a new enemy and unlock the answers to several loose ends from the previous book. Alec and Cronin must navigate their relationship and figure out some major issues that are tied to his blood. The dying words of the original vamp that saved Alec in the rain proved to have more meaning than they first thought. There were a bunch of smexy scenes that at times slowed down the story down and dragged it out, but most people seem to enjoy those so I can't judge them too harshly. I laughed more than expected at the humor as well. Now, I'm on to the finale. ( )

"How very Thor of you"
"Well, aren't you two just a wonderful web of weird"

I love Kennard!
the book...not so much. Was hard to finish if not for the snippet of humor and the wonderful narrator. Too much talking, too much sex and lust. Only the last part was interesting.

creepy kids, sex, funny Brits, sex, funny Japanes, sex, meek fathers, sex, pop culture, sex, stones, sex

yeah I'm gonna read book 3 regardless @_@ ( )

I am not sure I have struggled with a rating as much as I have this one. Most definitely not as good as the first, but it had some great moments. The connection between these two continues to be the driving force of this story and is told in beautiful Walker style. I could have easily given this story 5 stars if this had been the bulk of the story...but alas...it's the side story that brought this baby down. Things definitely picked up in the second have but it was too little too late for me. Jodis and Eiji were not near as impressive as they were in the first...almost non-existant in their roles. But I quickly loved the wit and humor of newcomer Kennard...I want more of him.

I am still puzzled by there being a third book...are we getting another character or will something come to up to threaten these two once again?? *heavy sigh* if the later is the case.

In the end, I had a good time with this. Overall maybe a 4 but throw in some story inconsistencies, repeated statements and decriptions, and overall a lack of flow drops this one even further.

And this picture is too good not to include here...because the biting was off the charts HOT!
