This story mainly now focuses on Tole, the member of the Coven of Three. Troubled by his feeling of seeing the intimacy that Win shares with the new member of the household, Pablo, Tole finds himself trying to calm his restlessness by spending the night at the Interzone. Unexpectedly, the handsome resident of Sang station, vampire Ridley Barron, joins him, and they share very comfortable moment in front of the bonfire. Tole realizes that he develops attraction towards the vampire -- and rather surprised that Ridley finds the same thing. However, their cozy relationship cut short when not long after that, Ridley is kidnapped. Now, Tole, with the help of Zee and Win must saves Ridley, or he loses the chance of building something meaningful with the vampire.

Oh, how I love this series. Again, K.Z. Snow mesmerizes me with the imaginative world of Utopian Metroplex of Regenerie. In the first book, Tole came as an a**, quick to his temper, probably because he has more demon ancestors in him compared to Zee and Win. But in this book, it shows how he has more layers in him. Starting from the night he builds the bonfire and admits to Ridley that he loves marshmallow (awwww). However, the one who steals my heart in this book is Ridley. I love him so much! He's kind and perceptive (he notices Tole's hair color!) -- love him being embarassed when he admits that he likes lentil soup but can't have it often because it gives him gas (awwww). Seriously, when he ends up giving Tole marshmallow in the bonfire, I just want to hug him silly (repeat after me, awwwwww).

Would like to read more of them in the next book ...

This is book two in the series who’s name escapes me. Why the hell didn’t someone make me read these before? Ridley. Sigh. This is Tole and Ridley’s story more or less. They are settling in with Pablo from book 1 but Tole’s feeling a bit blue. He starts talking to Ridley and thinks maybe something could happen between them. Meanwhile people start disappearing and Ridley is kidnapped by some witchy woman from a neighboring city and the three guys set off to get him back and stop her killing spree. I was sooooo not ready for it to end. Book 3, must get ASAP. Can’t wait for more.

A great second book, concentrating on another of the main 3 characters from Looking for Some Touch. Less depth of world building and not as sexy, but still sensual and exciting. A poignant love affair development, too.

The second story of Ridley and Tole is full of action with touch of romance. I liked it...
