The third book in the Otherworld series, this tells the tale of the youngest of the three fae/human sisters, Menolly. She's a vampire who was turned by a horrible sire. While I was excited to read this book, it took me almost a week to finish it. As with the other two books, the book structure was the same. Introduce the character and background, get them into some spooky action, have them seek a new alliance to help, go thru something where they had to pay a price, quickly vanquish a foe they built up to be bigger than they really seemed and end happily. This is all fine and good but... I was hoping for a bit more. Maybe now that we've got the round robin intros out of the way the next trilogy will be a bit different in structure and more on actual story. Who knows, guess I'll try and find a used copy of the 4th book out at powell's.
