Seduction. It's all in the family. If you passed Daphne Urban on the streets of
New York, you'd see a sleek young brunette dressed to kill. You'd never know
she was a vampire. But the government knows. Their ultimatum: Spy for the United
States, or be terminated. And after all these centuries, Daphne is not ready to
call it quits . . . The word is out on Susto. It's a new recreational drug that
intensities sex, it's spreading like wildfire--and it's lethal. Team Darkwing's
mission: Track the drug back to its origin. Immersing themselves in New York
City's nightlife, they soon discover ties between Susto's billions in revenue
and the country's most powerful political dynasty. To infiltrate the family,
Daphne flirts with its weakest link, handsome party boy St. Julien Fitzmaurice,
whom she'd love to casually sink her teeth into. But even as their dalliance
leads her deeper into the case, Daphne can't stop thinking about Darius, the
darkly sexy human she claimed with a passionate bite. He's the bad boy she
knows she should--she must--forget, because if she doesn't, she'll be risking
not only the mission, but her own heart . . .
This is the second book in the Darkwing Chronicles. Daphne
has a new assignment to find out who is behind Susto. But at the same time she
is dealing with her broken heart. And it doesn’t help that Darius keeps coming
around. I really like Daphne as a character as she is a lot more complex. Also
the time flashes of her past where great. Darius made me angry, but then I think
that is the point. I like this book and can’t wait to read Beneath the Skin.
