Book Description
There's a lethal new recreational drug out on the party circuit. To stop its spread, Team Darkwing must immerse themselves in New York City's nightlife, where they discover ties between the drug's revenue and the country's most powerful dynasty. To infiltrate the family, Daphne flirts with its weakest link, a party boy whom she'd love to sink her teeth into. But even as their dalliance leads her deeper into the case, Daphne can't stop thinking about Darius, the darkly sexy human she claimed with a passionate bite. He's the bad boy she knows she must forget-if she doesn't, she'll be risking not only the mission but her own heart.
My review
I loved the sequel to Beyond the Pale. We got to know Daphne's history with Lord Byron a bit better, which I thought was very interesting. I thought there were several things, like the drug plot, that were a bit unsatisfactory. What was the deal with susto? Where did it come from? Who's Don Manuel, what's his part in the story and what's the deal with Jade? But overall, a very good read. I loved the poems and the bits and pieces of history woven into the story, which was a very nice touch. I'm definitely eager to read the rest of the books in this series.
