Istvan is a hunter recuperating from a recent battle where he was severely wounded.  More science geek than rampage warrior, Istvan is on a mission to find and harness power.  Power than could help hunters and vampires alike. 

Angyalka is a beautiful vampiress and owner of the bar Angel.  She suffers from agoraphobia and hasn't been outside in well over a hundred years.  She runs and controls her world from within the walls of her bar.  It is within this very bar that she meets Istvan.  Istvan is the only man that has been able to overpower Angyalka and she likes it. 

The chemistry between the two characters is great.  They are drawn to each other and trade flirtations.  Angyalka doesn't like for anyone to have the upper hand.  So she constantly reminds Istvan of her strength and vampire nature.  However, it is Istvan's own strong and commanding nature that is attractive to her.  Istvan recognizes Angylka's need to be dominated and rises to the occasion superbly.

We are introduced to new characters while catching up with some old ones.  I do wish there had been more Maximillian but we do get some glimpses of Mihaela and Robbie. 

This is the second book in the series and does come to a definite conclusion while setting up events for the next book.  I am happy to have discovered this series and will definitely be reading the next one.
