Michael is a new vampire who is taken under the wing of a much older and more experienced vampire who is anything but a good influence on him. Michael wants to know how he never knew his mother was a vampire, and why and how he was turned. And most of all, he wants to know who killed her, and why they are determined to exterminate the entire vampire race.

Full disclosure: I haven't read any of the Blood of Ages books, so I was a bit lost at times. That's not the authors fault, that's on me. That said, I did enjoy the story. As it was a companion novel, it was a very quick read. I enjoyed the interplay between Michael and the other characters because he had a different dynamic with all of them. It gave Michael some depth and made me more interested in them.

All in all, even though I was lost at times, I enjoyed the book.

4/5 stars.
