I loved the book; it could have been a little better though. There are three different stories going on, narrated from different perspectives, and gradually they merge together to form a full picture. Although I like books with switching narration, there were times when I had to reread passages to identify the narrator. Often the same scene was repeated by two narrators from their own perspective which made a little more interesting. The book is fast paced stuffed with secrets and conspiracies. The ending left with me with some unanswered questions which I hope would be revealed in the upcoming third book.

Actually I didn't realize it is the second book in the series and it is pretty weird that I haven't read the first book, Death in Amber. However, given the choice, I would love to read its first and third book rather than receiving another review copy. I received an e-copy of this book from the Library Thing giveaway in exchange for an honest review.… (más)

This was a very unusual book. Set in the future it has several strands that run through until the end of the book when they meet. There is Investigator Jaared Sen; a blind, one hundred and seventy year old enhanced cop. Stel, a female researcher and agent. Emile, an antique Dealer with a secret. All involved with the mysterious Secret society of the Priory of Scion and their treasure. Add in vampires and demons and it pretty much covers all genres. It was ambitious, and if flawed at times, it was definitely an entertaining read. I would recommend it as a fun addition to the cannon with enough strange quirks to keep you reading.… (más)

This book was interesting. The premise of the blind law enforcement officer dealing with some kind of omnicient authority while investigating a secret society and falling in love was promising.
Unfortunately, it was not clear that the events in the story are futuristic, but my confusion at uses of language that I was not familiar with as well as frequent and unpleasant changes in point of view make the story hard to keep up with.
There are also elements that do not really tie in and became increasingly annoying to me as a reader. The incompatibility of the Vampire mother plotline late in the story with all the sexual connotations from earlier made that particular part of the story...gross.
Also, either Stella is some kind of bad-ass spychick or just a bit of fluff, she can't be both...… (más)

First this is the second book in the series. I received a copy from the author in exchange for a review and missed bit of information and didn’t check before reading this one. Im not sure if it would have made a difference or not but i will go back and read the first book.

These books follows Jaared Sen who is a blind law enforcement agent of some sort. This book opens up with the death of a priest and then continues to expose us to a few more individual story lines. I was very confused at first and even at the end i am still a bit confused. That being said I did really enjoy the book, the characters drew me in wanting to understand what was going on. the fact that I wanted to keep reading and didn't question putting it down should say something.

It took what seemed like a long time for one of the main storylines to join the other three but it did get there eventually. I kind of feel like a was missing something with the general plot line not sure if it was the actual writing or it just somehow went over my head. Regardless I did enjoy the book though i feel like i need some more answers about the world it takes place in as a whole there was mention of vampires, Jaared receives anti ageing treatments and im not sure how but there was some telepathy i believe but don’t quite get.… (más)
