This is a book two in the Cronin’s Key Series, and I feel it is best read in order since this one picks up after the first.

Alex, Cronin and all his friends are back and recuperating from the last mystery. They are also waiting to see what the next task is for Alex before he can be turned. What they find out is rather grim. We are introduced to a new vampire Jorge that is a child vampire with very special talents. (this is where the audio really came in play as Joel Leslie knocked this character out of the ballpark. You could feel his childish excitement than the very creepiness as well. I loved him so much… maybe more so than Alec and Cronin…LOL)

There is lots of action and another mystery. This one too gives us an awesome lesson in history When we find out who the evil vampire has risen this time is. I loved all the code deciphering, the friendships growing tighter, the suspense and the romance.

This story has it all and in vampire, form so what isn’t to like!

As Usual Joel Leslie knocks an already fabulous story up a notch with his wonderful voices, accents, and excitement. If you can possibly get the audiobook, I highly suggest it.
