Charles comes to represent his father. Anna, his wife, is an Omega wolf. She has the ability to calm agitated werewolves, something that will be needed at this conference.
The action is fast, the players often suspects, and the interaction between Anna and Charles is sweet.

Ward's latest entry into the Black Dagger Brotherhood series focuses on Rehvenge, a member of the vampire aristocracy, but also owner of a notorious night club that fronts for a drug and prostitution operation. Rhev is hiding a big secret and a blackmailer has forced him to pay in many ways for twenty-five years to keep the secret.
Ehlena is a nurse down on her luck who works at the clinic Rehvenge visits. She is attracted to Rehv, but knows nothing of his notorious side. When she tries to help him, their attraction to each other ingnites.
All of this story is woven into the continuing story of the vampires' fight against the lessers, the group that continues to kill all of them. Although the story does drag a bit in the middle, the dramatic ending moves quickly and leaves a cliffhanger that indicates continued visits to the world of the Brotherhood.
