Introduction

At the end of the last book, Allison is alone again. Now, she is looking for her maker, Kanin, following the blood bond. Around her rises a new strain of the Red Lung virus that is fatal to both humans and vampires. Her journey leads her to reunite with those she never expected to see again. She gains unexpected allies and new missions: save Kanin, find the cure, and stop Sarren. Allison fights her own inner monster to remain as human as possible, despite being told it's impossible. 

Returning Characters

I appreciated the recurring characters. I find that too many authors are quick to add new characters in every book when there are already established characters at the ready. The characters that showed up here worked very well and I was glad to see them all again (with one exception, I was hoping he was gone). There's a comic relief character that was so very needed.

Book about Walking

Like the Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit, a lot of this book is walking. Gets a little boring, but I think the banter and the events that happen from point A to point B make up for it. Based on the world they live in (usually no access to functioning cars), it's understandable.

Different Book Covers

Seems that this book some different covers. The one above is nice, but it doesn't match the previous cover, which means that your books aren't going to match. I'd get the covers to match, personally.

Final Thoughts

The sequel did not disappoint. If you have the first one in your library collection, nothing is keeping this from anyone's collection.
