Summary/ General Thoughts

In Captured Erica Stevens was following the GSG (guidelines set for books of this genre) a little too closely, as is to be expected of a first book in a series. 

Renegade was a couple finding their way back to each other. Cute and fun and all, but not as captivating (pun intended).

Refugee left something to be desired, with the best part being the ending.

Finally, Salvation made up for every dull chapter and lack of actual plot its prequels suffered from. In fact, in it's action-packed, passion-filled pages, it manages to surpass even Captured. And rightly so, considering that the first book was like every other paranormal romance with a headstrong girl and a dangerous vampire for main characters, while this one gave the author a chance to improvise.

Summary/ General Thoughts

Omg. The ending was just.... Wow. OK. Didn't expect that.

Aria and Braith and William and Ashby go into a search for powerful exiled vampire aristocrats to form alliances with for the upcoming war.

After a few boring chapters in the Barrens - something of a desert in the dystopian world, a place that civilisation has abandoned - we finally get to meet Gideon, an eccentric used-to-be noble that, after being exiled for having teamed up with the losing side (aka the him race) found shelter in these lands and created a city where vampires and humans lived together, unafraid.
