Well done..as usual. Rachel Caine just keeps bringing the surprises. I couldn't put it down and couldn't read fast enough to see what happened next. With a new threat in town, to both vampires and humans, they had no choice but to join forces to take this "thing" that is called Draug out of existence. Is it really over for them? Or just the beginning of something new with "The Queen" will things go back to "normal" or will there be yet another fight on their hands? All I can say is, I can't wait to see! Love this series! One of my favorites. It was good to see Claire mature and kick butt again..who else is gonna protect her man Shane? And so happy for Michael and Eve. Wonder what myrnin will be up to next? Gotta love him! Great read! Up next...Bitter Blood!
