Editorial Review:
Can you ever really trust a vampire? Cassandra Palmer can see the future and communicate with spirits - talents that make her attractive to the dead and the undead. The ghosts of the dead aren't usually dangerous; they just like to talk...a lot. The undead are another matter. Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But, when the bloodsucking mafioso she escaped three years ago finds Cassie again with vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection. The undead senators won't help her for nothing, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, a dangerously seductive master vampire - and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay...

Fascinating... Enjoyable First book I have read by Karen Chance, and found it enjoyable. I liked Cassie, at times she could be infuriating... but thats normal, charactors can't always do what you want them to do. I liked the fact that we got loads more magical creatures like demons and mages, and can't wait to read the 2nd in this series. I definately recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, vampire, werewolf type fiction.
Pretty rubbish read Started slow and lost me... it got good only in the last 3 chapters. I was recommended this by Amazon 'cos I loved the Twilight series but the only thing this book had in common with Twilight was the vampires.
Brilliant, fast paced - I got sucked in and enjoyed the ride I must admit that I was a bit shell-shocked for the first third of the book. The author dumps you right into the thick of a very complex world and you have to go with it. So much so that I spent a lot of time thinking that the back story should have been made into a separate book. However, by the end of it I really missed the style and pace and couldn't wait to start the next two sequels. Don't expect full resolution in this book. It's more like a Janet Evanovitch 'Stephanie Plum' book in it's... more info
Unappealing descriptions The premise behind the story was a little hard to swallow. A girl brought up by her parents' killer who happens to be a mob-boss-type vampire. She's now grown up and hates him and is trying to live a normal life, but in hiding from him. Cue the rest of the story. But unfortunately, by the time I'd got through the first couple of chapters I had started to not care. I ploughed on. I personally I found Ms Chance's style of writing awkward and stilted. I could suspend belief for some of the plot lines... more info
