Payne, twin sister of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, seductive cloth as her brother. Imprisoned for eons by their mother, the Scribe Virgin, she finally frees herself - only to face a devastating injury. Manuel Manello, MD, is drafted by the Brotherhood to save her as only he can - but when the human surgeon and the vampire warrior meet, their two worlds collide in the face of their undeniable passion. With so much working against them, can love prove stronger than the birth right and the biology that separate them?
This was a great BDB book, but there was almost too much happening in it! I don't know why, but that was almost a bad thing. Vishous dealing with his past was excellent, and Manny and Payne's love story was great. I understand why Xhor and his Bastards had to be introduced as well, but then, there was also the human police, with Cruz and the new guy Veck. It was a lot to keep track of, it could almost have been two books.
Then, there alos was the whole Blay, Saxton Qhuinn triangle going on, with a little touch of Layla thrown in the mix. I really wish Qhuinn would just get his act together and let Blay know that he truly loves him, true?
I did love it though, but the fact that there were so many things happening at once took a little bit away from my pleasure. And even though we got to see most of the brothers, there was too little of Z, and we only got to see a child once. It would have made sense to see more of them as well, since a lot of the story happened within the Brotherhood castle.
I guess this book was kind of an in-between book, where things needed to be laid out for future books.
