This is the second Merit the vampire book and you may recall I loved the first one. Well this didn't disappoint.In the second outing Merit is pretty much over being changed and is more focused on doing a good job and adapting to her new life, which means a little less Catcher and Mallory and a little more of the other vamps.
If you weren't much older than Buffy when she discovered she had to face the Master and die and were gripped, then this is the perfect series. That blend of humour, snark and courage that defined Whedon's Slayer ever present in Merit but targeted at late 20's/early 30 somethings that know "a vampire, a witch and a werewolf walk into a bar" is the start of an adventure, not a joke.
The writing is excellent, the plot well put together, over all very entertaining and the sexual tension that is ever present is there for all the reasons a little tension and conflict should be, adding depth and interest to our Darcy and Lizzie, umm, I mean Darth Sullivan and Merit.
Wonderful, entertaining books, light hearted Urban Fantasy with hidden depths. Brew yourself a hot chocolate and enjoy.
