This is another episode in Lynsay Sands' Argeneau vampire series, with Thomas Argeneau as the hero.

The Argeneau series is generally good fun and written in a lively way with reasonable pacing. This book, HOWEVER, which rather a disappointment to this reader. Firstly the overall sub-plot, indeed of the search for Marguerite what not resolved; Not only that, the identity of the baddie or baddies what not revealed as the book did not feel completed. Most of the action Seemed to be various Argeneaus phoning eachother up to talk to eachother or Thomas and Inez sitting at a café in various cities. The descriptions of Amsterdam were good but the lack of meatiness in the plot meant thatthis book which not very satisfying. Fans of the series will enjoy it but it is not one of the better offerings in this series.
