He is Ariel's fierce defender and she is constantly by his side.TWO OBSESSED WARRIORS... Now--years later--while on their family’s annual hunt, Ariel is being guarded well--as always--by her big, insanely protective half-brother and best friend, Kaid, the future leader of the MacDonnel’s....WHO BOTH LOVE HER. Unfortunately, Kaid's other best friend, Bran—Ariel’s secret ex-boyfriend--is intent on making her life a complete misery. As one of the most aggressive warriors in their clan, Bran has always been a touch antagonistic towards her in public in order to cover up for their long-term relationship. But ever since their break up it has gotten worse...much, much worse. You would think, from the bitter way he's been acting, that SHE was the one who had ended their relationship and not the other way around.WHEN VAMPIRES EMERGE FROM THE SHADOWS, LEAVING TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES, A SEED FOR REVENGE IS PLANTED DEEP WITHIN ARIEL'S HEART...

And why does he smell so familiar?ARIEL IS BETTING THAT LORD FRASER HAS NEVER SEEN A MONSTER LIKE HER BEFORE... And once she eventually meets the oldest brother—who supposedly isn’t in residence when she arrives--Ariel intends to smile and flirt, biding her time until she has the perfect opportunity to murder the vampire leader who's been plaguing her family....BECAUSE THE LAST VAMPIRE ARIEL KILLED HAD NEVER SUSPECTED SUCH A SWEET FACE COULD BE SO DEADLY. But Ariel must be back to her MacDonnel home within a certain number of days, before Kaid and Bran return from their trip. Because Kaid's explosive fury at coming home to find HIS Ariel missing would be much scarier than any old vampire.

Jenny and her friends are dealing with the aftermath of the events of the first book. No one believes them about their friend's death and the paper house is still missing. When they finally find the paper house it is ripped to shreds and they don't know if Julian was released or not. All is soon reveled and they begin a new deadly game where Jenny's friends are disappearing one by one. This book wasn't nearly as good as the first one. The first half of the book is pretty dull. The action does pick up but it's barley enough to make up for the first half. I did like how we got to know the characters better but I didn't like how little Julian there was. The book kind of struck me as a filler book but I'm sure the last in the series will be much better.
