Synopsis

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—the feared and hated cross between a vampire and a human—or so she has always believed. She spent most of her life on the fringes of her two worlds, yearning to belong to one or the other, but despised and distrusted by both. Recently, a war in the supernatural community allowed her to get a foothold into her vampire father's world, one of danger, intrigue, glitz and glamour, where she found not only a home, but a lover, too. For the first time in centuries, life seemed to be going her way. But now, an incident with a dangerous magical device has left her two natures separated into duplicate bodies, both fighting to survive while they search for the truth about their past, and the key to their future.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Scarlet on July 22, 2020

This one gets 3.5 stars, because of several reasons. First, the premise was excellent: Dory and Dorina finally have separate bodies (something I had felt the series was leading up to almost as certainly as the Cassie series were leading to the Cassie/Pritkin pairing), but that's it. The rest of the b......more

Goodreads review by Choco on April 14, 2024

Reconozco que empiezo a presentar síntomas de agotamiento como lectora de acción desenfrenada, compulsiva e ininterrumpida. Me falta el resuello. Aunque este libro en cuanto a descubrimientos no se quedó corto, madre mía!. Ríete tú de los orígenes de Cassie. Dorina (o las Dorinas, que ahora son..., ot......more
