The lines were drawn long ago – pure blood vampire Carden Adair on one side and made vampire Blane, as well as the vampires he’s sired, on the other side.  At the moment Carden answers to Blane although cracks are beginning to show.   

Mortals who take vampires as friends or lovers are especially vulnerable to lust and more.  Rory would do anything for Carden.  His feelings for the pure blood are becoming more like an obsession as time goes on, something which Carden would like to avoid if possible.  Rory’s best friend Dennis is in over his head with vampire Thiago, although, in their case, the feeling is mutual. 

As allegiances shift and new players enter into the conspiracy the powers that be shift for better positions.  Some scramble for more power while others hide with the knowledge they possess.  Carden knows that others are keeping important truths from him.  It’s time he found out what they know regardless of the consequences.  But those that are left standing in the end might not be the lucky ones after all. 

Prepare yourself for a wickedly dark, passionate story in Rapture, the second Blood Eclipse tale.  Authors A.J. Llewellyn and D.J.Manly give each character an individual charm or chilling manner which is what makes Rapture so good.  The first part of the story isn’t easy to figure out though if you missed Book 1 simply because of the large cast and their relationships to each other.  Once you have everyone sorted out and their dynamics understood, Rapture hurls at breakneck speed towards a riveting cliffhanger ending.  Regardless of confusion in the beginning, I am now a fan of Blood Eclipse: Rapture and definitely look forward to what happens next. Soon, please?
