2014 Review:
I had been waiting for this book for a year, ever since I read the Dark Heroine: Dinner for a vampire. I was anticipating reading about Violet Lee and Kaspar Varn again. I just needed to know more about them. How she experienced turning into a vampire and how they handled her dad.

So about this book:
This book starts a few months before Violet gets taken by Kaspar. You see how Autumn sees the story and lives it. Its funny how everything I thought I knew is different now. The Sagean leaders knew who the First Dark Heroine was long before Autumn knew. I thought Autumn knew already but she didn't. Things are so different than I though them to be. In my head she's older and stronger than Vi. But she isn't. A sad little girl, just as scared of what's next as Vi is.

I was annoyed by how Fallon stalks about the vampires. How they think about them. It goes both ways, but still. My judgement was clouded by Kaspar while reading this book. That made it hard for me to get into the different perspective. Never the less. I loved it.

I can't wait for the next book. To read more about Vi & Rose and the third girl.
