I did enjoy this book but not as much as the previous book. Bo really annoyed me in places, Bo spent a lot of the time feeling sorry for herself and hating that she was a vampire- complaining about how there are no benefits to being a vampire but the alternative for her is being dead (because she got so injured at the end of the last book), it's also not really explained why she hates being a vampire so much. She also seemed so determined to run off and not get anyone else's help and kept just running into trouble that she had to be rescued from.

It was also quite confusing in places, all the different factions have different agendas and secrets and if was kind of overcomplicated particularly for such an early book in a series. The author did flesh out the magic of the world that Bo lives in more and helped explain some of the magic that goes on.

The other problem I had was that whilst the previous book in the series reminded me a bit of the chicagoland vampire series this one was even more similar with the different houses and the vampire/human public relations and it didn't feel like a particularly original story. I probably will read the next book in the series but I hope that it's more like Dire Straits than New Order.
