How I Got It: I own it

After narrowly escaping Rome with her mortality, vampire hunter Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth de Lacey returns to London—where not even sunrise can stop a vampire’s carnage. Not only is Victoria unable to detect the vampire with her heightened senses, but she’s being framed as the prime suspect behind the killings.

Meanwhile, the legacy of a vampire’s touch has left his blood boiling in her veins and forces her to fight evil on two fronts—against the new breed of undead threatening London and the darkness within herself….

Holy crap!  Finally!  This volume moved the characters forward so much.  I've been waiting for some of the developments in this book.  I am still in love with Victoria.  She's such a great heroine.  She has her faults, but all of those make her a real person.  And Sebastian and Max are such amazing male characters, but so different.  I can't make up my mind as to which I like better. Plus, we get some great scenes with Lilith.  I can't wait to read the next volume, but I have it scheduled September.
