She creates a chilling world with the perfect atmosphere of fear and sexual tension." -- Romantic Times"Gleason keeps upping the ante with each novel, weaving the characters around her readers with each engaging conversation and narrative, every stage set of all the appropriate gothic gloom and melting beauty. -- Book Fetish"...Above all, the writing is what recommends this book most. Gleason\'s writing is sharp and taut, which makes for excellent action sequences, and a plot that travels quickly from the start. The writing strength alone gives me ample reassurance that this potentially plot-heavy series is in the right hands. I\'m definitely looking forward to the next installment." – Smart Bitches Love Trashy Books"The undead rise to great heights through Gleason\'s phenomenal storytelling.
