Ryder is said to be an antisocial type of independent thinking, rough around the edges vampire. One of the oldest. He doesn’t really care for abiding by the rules of a baby vampire when it doesn’t suit him. The description of him in the previous book is accurate. Willow is stronger than most. Her will to survive is the only thing that saves her at the farm. Being able to talk to her two friends during “University” was a lifeline for her and only adds to the strength of all three characters. What she has to endure brings out the fight in her. Loved the action in the book as well as the romance.
