How I Got It: I own it

As Rome prepares for its Carnivale, vampire hunter Lady Victoria Gardella is in no mood for festivities. But her personal grief must be set aside for there is a sinister plot underway. In yet another play for power, vampires have formed an unholy alliance with the demon Akvan in order to gain access to an ancient alchemist's secrets. As their combined bloodthirsty army ravages the city streets, Victoria races to solve the age-old mystery - if she fails, the world is lost for ever.

Another exciting volume of the Gardella Vampire Chronicles.  I like this series way too much.  It's got everything I want: interesting characters, action, romance, vampires.  I was scared of where Victoria would go after the death of Aunt Eustacia, but I was very happy about the direction of the series.  Plus, we get a ton of new revelations between other characters.  And we get heart pounding action and romance scenes.  Ready to jump into the next one.
