From Bestselling Paranormal Romance Author Lisa Olsen - Book 2 of the Forged Bloodlines Series"Do you ever wish you could take something back the instant you say it? One moment Bishop and I were kissing under the moonlight, and then I had to go and open my big fat mouth."The bodycount rises in the next chapter of Anja's afterlife and not in a good way. Anja finds herself attracting a lot of attention from the police and the vampire community alike, and now she's got a stalker making her life difficult at every turn. At her side is darkly intense Bishop, but how long will their happiness last once her absent Sire reappears? To complicate things, it's getting increasingly difficult to keep up the façade of humanity among her family and friends, and her school keeps expecting her to go to classes... What's a vampire to do when ice cream therapy proves ineffective?Torn between the man she loves and the primal lure she feels towards Jakob, Anja must fight for what she wants... just as soon as she figures out what that is.Editorial ReviewThis much anticipated sequel to Wake Me When the Sun Goes Down picks up right where the last book left off. On the surface it might seem like our favorite newbie vamp has it made in the shade. Anja's got a brand new boyfriend in sexy, vampire cop Bishop, plenty of admirers in vamp society, and she's anticipating the upcoming performance at the arts academy she attends.But someone's not so happy with Anja, attacking her from all angles with surprising ferocity. Anja enlists the aid of Bishop to find out who's out to submarine her, but it's Jakob, her mysterious Sire, who comes to the rescue, and all bets are off.I was pleased to see many of my favorite faces besides Anja and her men return (Rob, Bridget and Mason come to mind), and it was nice to see the characters flesh out as the author expanded Anja's world. We finally get some answers about not only Bishop's secretive past, but Jakob and the Ellri as well. The mystery arc comes to a satisfying conclusion, but the seeds are definitely sewn for the next book in the series.
