The body lay crumpled in the driveway—a heap of cloth that
could have been anything if not for the distinctive smell that drifted on the
light breeze.
Kat, aka Lady Death, is back taking down one vampire house
after another. In Moore’s follow-up to To Walk the Night, Kat is faced with a
new challenge. Someone is also taking down vampire houses and werewolves and
they aren’t making it pretty. They are also killing innocent Purebloods. Kat notices that
the kills look like what she did before she was changed and before she had silver
weapons. But who is doing this and why? When Kat comes face to face with the
person behind this new rash of killings, she is faced with a new dilemma. This
person, who she once thought dead, is someone near and dear to her heart. But
how did he survive and how will she end his murderous rampage without killing
him? Kat also discovers a little town that seems to be under a spell. She is
drawn to it yet in her mind she knows that something just isn’t right. But when
you can forget your troubles and worries, would you want to know the secret?
The town, Delai, that Moore introduces is a mystery and I am
curious to see where he is going with this. It has many interesting
characters and even when reading about it, you feel peace and wonder maybe this
is a good place for Kat. Here Purebloods,
wolves and vampires all live in harmony with each other but sometimes
something too good can’t be true, right? Moore makes us anticipate what will
happen in this serene town and what Levi, the so-called leader, has in store
for Kat.
A storyline that I was hoping would progress would be the
one between Kat and Adrian. There is an attraction there but Kat is so stuck on
fighting it that it at times it is frustrating. Adrian isn’t a golden boy that is
for sure and his very neanderthal thinking is obviously a trait that will have
to be curbed for these two to have any kind of relationship.
Moore continues his dark and terrifying world with a great
second installment in his Kat Redding series. Moore’s characters are raw and
edgy. Kat’s sidekick, Ethan and his demon, Beligral, are brought to the
forefront more. I wish there could have been more growth out of Kat. She is still
struggling with being a vampire and finding a place in this world. Being alone
is what is making her weak. She is also still running head on into trouble without
thinking and seems to end up in a bloody heap. The best thing she does is form
a semi-truce with Jonathan, the Luna Cult leader, so maybe there is still hope
for her. In the words of Jonathan, “Things would be much easier if we could
learn to work together.” If only Kat would see that.
