"It's in the blood."
Hessika's voice was low and gravelly as she spoke, her drawn.in Cupid's-bow lips overenunciating each word.
[incipit]
I "met" Amber Benson because she played Tara Maclay in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I loved her character so I became curious about the actress and I kept following her carrier even after the end of the series. When she became a writer, too, I'd have liked to read her books (written at the beginning with Christopher Golden), but I wasn't able to read in English back then. Now I do it and I love it, so I decided it was time to finally try one of her books, and I liked it!
It's an urban fantasy (genre that I'm not particularly used to) really nice, a little slow at the beginning but still interesting, while in the ending it almost starts to run and becomes very thrilling! Almost all the characters are pretty good, I already grew fond of them! The end leaves us with a lot of doubts and a lot more of curiosity, so I can't wait to read the sequel!
Quotes

It felt as though she were made for reading, the way the words rolled around on her tongue like candy.
