Description
City of Bones Series, Book 2
Vampire hunters Jess Vandermire and John Brittain are supposed to be relaxing in the City of Lights while Jess’s brother, Regent, a Catholic priest, fulfills a three-month assignment. Only their time in Paris so far has been anything but a vacation…
Last month, they managed to put down a demon uprising, but that’s nothing compared to what’s going on now. There’s a serial killer on the loose, the vampires are on the verge of civil war, and behind it all, there’s a secret society pulling the strings. If that isn’t bad enough, Jess’s newfound twin sister is stirring up trouble everywhere she goes.
But Paris is a dark place, alive with shadows of the past. If Jess and Britt don’t find some answers soon, mankind could become enslaved forever….

I am happy I requested this book because I discovered a great urban fantasy series.
This book is engaging, entertaining and fun to read.
I loved the cast of characters, the humour and the plot that kept me hooked till the last page.
I will surely read the previous installment and look forward to reading the next one.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
I have read every book in this series, and I think this was the best one yet. Every book has an excellent plot, wonderful writing, and I never want to put the book down. However, in this one Jess has, for the most part, stopped being as “whiney” as she was in the others. I know she thinks she’s a bad, evil person, but she’s been this way for years; shouldn’t she have come to terms with this one way or another? She’s much better about it in this one, and that has really been my only large complaint about the series. Oh, and her boyfriend Britt’s name drives me crazy because I keep thinking he’s a girl! LOL! Other than that, this series is a great way to pass the time if you love urban fantasy! I highly recommend this book! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.
Jess and John are still in Paris after they thwarted the demon uprising. A vampire serial killer is on the loose and terrorizing the city. A hidden vampire cult centuries old has reared its head, and it has designs on Jess. Good mystery, lots of action, very little romance. Lots of unanswered points left for the last book in the trilogy. I voluntarily reviewed this book for Netgalley.
This review isn't going to be long. I'm not a huge fan of a review rehashing the entire plot and spoiling it for everyone.
This is the second book by Lina Gardiner that I have read. I was hooked from the first chapter. This is a riveting series. I now have purchased the rest of the series.
I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
I have read this series from the very beginning and have enjoyed watching Jess and Brittain grow in their relationship as they first had to learn to trust each other and as that trust gradually morphed into a deep love. In each successive book their characters have remained true to their original depictions but at the same time also matured into the respected vampire hunters they now are. The only person I didn't feel remained true to his character was Regent. He just came across as way too gullible and easily swayed by his emotions and that is contrary to how he has been portrayed in previous books.
Just who is the serial killer? Maybe it's the vampire we have grown to despise? Maybe it is someone we would never have suspected. No matter what, it will be one wild ride Jess and Britt will be on to get to the truth.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book I received from NetGalley.
