Never steal a child from its mother. And if you do, don't steal it from a mother who is also a cop. Claudia Donovan's daughter is everything to her. She worked her way out of the worse part of Crimson City so that she could give her daughter a life she never had. Now everything is on the line as she has to cross the veil that keeps demons and humans separated.

Crimson City is two steps away from a bloody war between the humans, the vampires and the werewolves. Tiber Korzha is a vampire trying to walk a thin line, but he can't stay away from the human, Claudia. One of the things that attracts him to her is her love for her daughter. When he finds out the girl has been taken, he knows that he has to help Claudia.

But can he reveal all that he knows and can he save Claudia from himself?

We see glimpses here of characters we met in the first two books, but not enough. I think the CRIMSON CITY series needs more than six books to do it justice. I am still looking forward to the next two books to see how they tie this all together.
