Yemaya and Dakota have just returned to the Illusionist's homeland for a well-earned vacation when they are informed that several villagers had been savagely attacked and killed by something or someone. At the same time, a young Carpi woman is found lying unconscious near the outskirts of Teraclia. Comatose, she is unable to tell anyone what has happened and science can provide no answers. Two small wounds on her throat raise the old specter of the vampire, a legend the locals of the Transylvanian community are very familiar with and still believe in to this day. The Illusionist and her partner search for the truth behind these attacks. Will they fall prey to this murderous bloodlust that surrounds them, or will they succeed in stopping this heinous reign of terror.

3.3 star rating I think this got a little more rating from me because I feel I know the characters more. That said, while this got me thrilled slightly more, I still feel the romance part isn't arresting enough and the spirit/supernatural are really getting to be more than a handful....I am afraid this series may be too busy as I go on.
I thought the first one was well written. No I think Bloodlust was well written. I love how everything was connected. I couldn't put the book down. A must read.
