Flesh And Blood by Kristen Painter

Flesh And Blood (House of Comarré, #2)

by Kristen Painter

With the Ring of Sorrows still missing, and the covenant between othernaturals and mortals broken, Chrysabelle's life outside the realm of vampire nobility is about to take another downhill slide. She's vowed to help the outcast Malkolm find a way to lift his curse, but that means returning to the home city of the vampire who's trying to kill her. The breaking of the covenant has also activated an ancient organisation designed to protect mankind - the Kubai Mata.

And when Kubai Mata Thomas Creek comes to Paradise City, Chrysabelle finds herself torn between the need to save Malkolm and the desire to stay on the path of light. Finally fulfilling her vow to Malkolm proves devastating for Chrysabelle. If she survives, what's left of her life will never be the same.

This definitely needs you to read book 1 first to get a lot of what's going on with the characters. Chrysabelle is trying to find a role in live, still attracted to Malkolm but knowing that they can never have a real relationship, he would kill her. She also owes him a debt, a debt he's impatient for her to repay. Into the mix comes Creek, an erstwhile human who has been given supernatural power to fight supernaturals. Malkolms ex-wife is still on the scene, searching for the Ring of Sorrows and the power associated with it.

It's a complicated plot and I'm wondering how everything is going to resolve.
