A computer geek named Isabella, who somehow managed to get her name on every Master’s hit list. One minute she admits that she’d made a foolish mistake and the next she’s kidnapped, held hostage by a crazy cult who steals her chocolate and she’s sure is after her program, a program she has no plans on giving up anytime soon. As she tries to keep her wits about her, the sexiest man she’s ever seen claims her, only he doesn’t seem to happy about it.

The heroine: Isabella (a.k.a. Munchkin) – She is a computer programmer/hacker. She created a program that all the masters (Vampire leaders) want. She is also the mate of Chris (adopted son of Ephraim from book 1).
The Hero(es): Chris Williams – He is a Sentinel, which are basically Vampire Slayers. They keep humans and their families safe from Vampires and other supernatural threats. Each Sentinel is born as a twin and the other twin dies in childbirth. There are ten born every ten years. Five are boys and five are girls. Each male has a mate who is the other part of their soul.
The Story: When Isabella is attacked by Vampires and saved by a team of Sentinels, she thinks she has been drugged and is being held by some kind of weird cult. Chris immediately knows Isabella is his mate, she thinks it is the drugs that are causing her to be so unbearably attracted to Chris.
Isabella keeps trying to get away from Chris and his family. Chris in this book turned from a funny young 16 year old to a huge selfish jerk. He was so likable in the last book but was an unbelievable asshat in this book. The narration made it even worse. They used the same narrator and she used the same young kid voice for Chris as was used in the last book. It was hard to hear the Hero of a romance with a young kid’s voice.
The story was absolutely terrific and even though I hated how Chris acted compared to how he was in book 1, it added to the story and the steam between Izzy and Chris when they finally started giving in to their feelings for each other. I ended up liking this book even more than the first due to the Sentinel storylines, the Vampire Master Logan chasing them and the Shifter mercenary Kale hired by Logan. Another book with terrific supporting characters.
