Just finished this. I don't want to describe the plot because its the second book in the Blood Opera Sequence. The first was very good and this one was almost as good. I highly recommend the first and then second while not highly recommended is still recommended.
I posted about this before, but I'll summarize the first book because the summaries I've read on the web are very misleading. Lots of 'sex' implied which is there, but this is not an erotic novel of any sort.
The main character Rachaela lives a very quiet life due to a strong misanthropic mind. She works in a quiet job making just enough to keep an apartment, radio for classical music and book for her and her Cat. She's not timid/shy/etc., just does not like being around people.
She's contacted by a man representing her father. She never her knew her father. Her mother raising her alone. She is then drawn into this new family.
It doesn't sound exciting I guess, but it is written really well and the story is surprisingly engaging and unusual. I was impressed.
Bloofer for some reason I have this feeling you'd like this series, but I couldn't say why. If you give the first book in the series a try let me know what you think. : )
