Having learned Shay is a half-vampire, Gabriel takes her to his family, expecting she will be welcomed with open arms. He's shocked to discover that they consider her an abomination that must be destroyed. First, they'll use her as a lure to exact revenge on her stepfather, not caring that she grows sicker with each passing moment. But the stepfather stages a daylight ambush, and Gabriel is forced to choose between Shay and his family, with disastrous consequences for all. Now it's his life on the line, and after what Shay's seen in her latest visions, she's not sure she wants to save him. This is a fast-paced novel with plenty of action sequences. The real beauty of it lies with the characters, though. It's ultimately a story about choice and the grey areas that surround it. Each character is forced to confront their own beliefs, weighing their emotions against reality and often coming up wanting. There's what you want and what is right, and what happens when the two are not the same. For Gabriel and Shay, it's a time to examine relationships. Gabriel's family has stunned him with their actions, and he's forced to reevaluate his position, and recognize his own failings. Shay's testing loyalties; revealing the truth about herself and hoping to be accepted. Saved by Gabriel, betrayed by Gabriel, she must build a world without him in order to let him in. There's a lot of near death and destruction here, but it doesn't weigh the narrative down. Twists and turns abound in the plot; nearly every character goes through a journey of self-awareness and comes out on the other side with more questions than answers. It's a real story, one where endings, happy or otherwise, are only as good as you make them.
