Two Bloggers One Series ~ When Darkness Falls (Alliance Vampires #2)

 

I got Barb into this series and it just so happened to work for Vamptember so that was great. After you see what I thought head on over Booker T's Farm to see what Barb thought.

WHEN DARKNESS FALLS...
In a windswept Scottish cemetery, Jade MacGregor's carefree vacation abroad is marred by a seemingly random tragedy. A year later, back home on a shadowy French Quarter street, she glimpses an oddly familiar face. Coincidence--or something far more disturbing?
AND TERROR TAKES HOLD...
Surrounded by her friends and engrossed in her work, Jade should feel secure. But somebody is dogging her every move. Somebody who knows what she saw on that long ago afternoon. Somebody who will try to rescue her from the evil that is waiting to destroy her.
INNOCENCE DIES...

In this one we get a new female main character but the vampire love interest was from the first book. I will admit I wasn't always a fan of Lucian but I was interested in his story and I really liked him in this book.

We are introduced to both characters when Jade goes on a cemetery tour in Scotland that gets very scary and dangerous and she is saved by Lucian. Then we go to present day and we are back in New Orleans and Jade has been having dreams of the man from before and trying to get over the tragic thing that happened previously. 

Jade has a nice male friend that she wants to have a relationship but she keeps hesitating because of feelings for a man she doesn't even know at least not yet. Then there are some murders happening and Jade finds out that its some of the others from that night in the cemetery and is worried that someone might be after her. 

Then Lucian comes to town because he is tracking the vampires and also is worried that Jade is in danger. The two MC's from the previous book come into play in this one too as they are worried about Jade and Lucian and everything. The two bad vampires are very wicked and some things happen to a couple of Jades friends, not going to say what. 

I liked this one but I did think there were some things that made me roll my eyes a bit. The female main character does some very dumb things even after she finds out vampires are real! She knows that they have killed these other people and yet she puts herself in harms way by being stupid. Something with the guy that she was almost in a relationship with had something happen that I can't say but it just seemed a bit unrealistic (yes I know I am talking about a vampire romance book...lol. Just go with it)

I am curious about the next one and hope we still get to have some of the characters from this book in it like we did with those from book one being in this one.
