Query: Not a bad edition to the genre...

I waited impatiently for this book to come out, for months (like most of us probably do <smile>), and while I found it to be a good book, I didn't think that it explored the characters, or their relationships, sufficiently to really be as gripping as some of the others in the series.It was great seeing some of the characters from the previous books, such as Lucian and Jade, and Rick Boudreaux, but there were a lot of new characters added, and I think they needed to be fleshed out a little more, for those who had, perhaps, not read the previous three books in the set.All in all, it was a quick read, and I enjoyed it, however, I had hoped it would be as fast-paced and engaging as the previous books.But would I recommend it? *Definitely,* no question about it, and I'm still looking forward to the next book in her vampire series, which is due out around this time next year.
