Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. But so far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing...
Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she wakes up in a strange scientific lab with a strange man standing over her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so he’s not an easy kill.
It turns out that Dory had been working with a Vampire Senate task force on the smuggling of magical items and weaponry out of Faerie when she was captured and brought to the lab. But when Louis-Cesare rescues her, she has no memory of what happened to her.
To find out what was done to her—and who is behind it—Dory will have to face off with fallen angels, the maddest of mad scientists, and a new breed of vampires that are far worse than undead…
I tried really hard to read this book. I just couldn't get into it. I never did like it as much as the Cassie story. I put it down when I noticed that I was finding new things to clean instead of reading. Part of me thought I was just in a funk. I then picked up a different book and read it in days. So, then I came back to this one and still couldn't get myself to finish it.
I'm not 100% sure what it was that turned me off. I think part was the weird going around in time and in Dory's brain. The story is extremely fast paced as all Karen Chance books seem to be. I just couldn't get myself to want to keep up. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who love this book and that is great. I really wish I was one of them.
