A return to the world of Children Of the Night, only close to two hundred years in the future. The last of the original "pets" are dying, and Nicholas, who was once Jessy's mortal son, is now, with the lifting of the cursed ban of making more children of the blood, is given the gift. Kris, who is near 190, in a mad dash to escape the painful memories of those she had loved and lost, begged her father to let them return to the states. Back to the first house that she had built for them, that has no bad memories. But they return to a world that is not anything like it was when they left. The government in an attempt to control the major strain of unemployment has taken to making laws that if you are over 18 and remain unemployed for more than a year, you are collected and sent to labor camps. Slavery is now the way of life for those unfortunate enough not to have a job, and now that they're more and more slaves, it is harder and harder to find a job. |

I prefer the Dark Love quartet, but this slightly offset story is right smack up there, in my top ten.
I just really like that it has an actual plot and cohesive story. (10/10)

I have read other works by the author and I have always enjoyed the style and imaginative content. This is in context with the style that I have come to associate with V.L. Marquette (8/10)
