Ok, so I'm not sorry that I decided to continue reading this series. Still not good enough to rank as one of my favourites, but not bad either. The romance portion of the plot started out abominably cliché in the first book, using that dreaded word (that I've come to loathe), "luscious" on a couple of occasions. This 2nd book didn't repeat that crime, which raised its quality in my mind, lol. I have to admit, I'm liking the different take on the age-old (and sometimes overdone) vampire storyline that this series offers.
