From Goodreads:
The clans are gathering for Helena’s royal coronation as the next vampire queen, and new alliances are beginning to form now that the old rifts of Lady Natasha’s reign have started to heal. But with a new common enemy, Leander Montmarte—a vicious leader who hopes to force Solange to marry him and usurp the power of the throne for himself—the clans must stand together to preserve the peace he threatens to destroy.
This second adventure in the Drake Chronicles—told from both Logan’s and Isabeau’s perspectives—has all the same butt-kicking action, heart-pounding romances and snarky humor that readers loved in Hearts at Stake, as well as exciting new revelations about the vampire dynasties to keep readers coming back for more.
I loved the first book in this series, Hearts at Stake, and was hoping to love this one just as much. And while I did enjoy it, it didn't capture me as much as the first one did (doesn't that seem to be true a lot?!)
I think maybe it was because I didn't like the main girl character, Isabeau as much as I like Solange and Lucy from the first book. She just seemed a little cold and didn't have the warmth and humor that I found from the other two.
The plot was interesting, once again and there was lots of action. And I liked how the story ended. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
I gave this book a rating of 3.5/5.
