She’s not an emotional hot mess which is a refreshing change. Jenna is the most “believable” of Adrian’s heroines to me. When they don’t give them to her, she takes matters into her own hands. When she awakes in the Order she demands answers and doesn’t put up with the Order’s usual cryptic remarks. Even with her world crashing down around her she keeps a level head. A former police officer who’s husband and child were taken from her, she is a strong, self assured, and dynamic character. Jenna Darrow is a heroine after my own heart. Also, her main female protagonist, Jenna Darrow, is a different character then the one’s usually portrayed. Adrian takes a different approach with this one, making the romance forefront. Captivating characters, tension filled suspense, and nail biting action keeps you poised on the edge of your seat till the last page is turned. Here we pick up where Shades Of Midnight leaves off.

As she integrates herself within the order, their mission becomes her mission-to stop a ruthless vampire’s plans of death and destruction. Here she meets Brock, a mysterious beautiful male who’s sensual touch heals, comforts, and arouses her. As she struggles to understand and control these changes, she takes refuge at the compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. When ex police officer Jenna Darrow first awakes, she doesn’t remember much of what happened except for an unspeakable horror who kept repeating the same sentence over and over to her, “Do you choose life or death?” Though she is alive, she has been changed in ways she cannot even begin to imagine.
