Nothing if not resilient, Celia Graves is slowly adjusting to being a half-human, half-vampire Abomination. But her troubles are far from over. Her best friend’s murder is still unsolved, the cops are convinced she should be in jail, and her old lover, the magician Bruno DeLuca, has resurfaced in her life, saying he has something important to tell her.

The vampire attack that transformed Celia kicked her latent Siren abilities into high gear, and now she’s been summoned to the Sirens’ island to justify her existence—and possibly fight for her life—in front of the Siren Queen. Celia isn’t sure she’ll survive to make the trip. The demon she defeated in Blood Song hasn’t exactly gone quietly—he’s left Celia suffering from a powerful curse.

I may have liked the first book in the series; but, I loved the second. I am giving it 9 Stars. Celia as a character felt much more developed. Also the other characters were given more time in the limelight allowing you to get to know them better as well. Understanding more about Celia's past helped me to connect with her much better. I can now say that I like her very much. Her personality is awesome and I like how driven she is and yet has her own moral code. The only thing I don't like is her taste in guys. Bruno... seriously, I have never liked the guy and in my opinion this book just proves me right. Creede on the other hand...may visit my dreams tonight. Even the unknown character of Gaetano would be a step up in my opinion.
The story progression had a much smother progression and unlike the first book didn't feel nearly as abrupt. I liked the inclusion of politics and learning more about the sirens in Cat Adams world. Overall I find that I loved this book and will be re-reading it when the fifth book comes out next January.


Scene I will not forget anytime soon:
He ate a few nuts with a chaser of beer. I sipped my soda.
“I called Mona, told her what happened.”
Oh, shit. Mona was gonna kill me. “Maybe it’s a good thing I’ve got those secret service types.”
He choked again and this time he wound up coughing. I patted him on the back. A useless gesture, but I was pretty sure he didn’t need the Heimlich.
Tears were flowing from his eyes. “Oh, God, Graves, don’t do that to me.”
“Sorry,” I apologized meekly.
He shook his head. “I told her about the imp. How you stood toe-to-toe with it, damn near bare-ass naked, and fired a One Shot of holy water down its gullet.”
He sounded awed and it made me blush. It sounded a lot more impressive than it was. Honest truth, I hadn’t had a lot of choice. I mean, it was a frickin’ boat. It wasn’t like I’d had anywhere to go.
“You know what the wife said?” He was chortling now, his big body shaking with mirth.
“What?”
He imitated his wife’s voice as best he could: “ ‘Very impressive. But tell me something, Bubba. Why was Celia running around your boat naked?’ ”
“Oh dear.”
