This is the final of three books about Olivia, the vampire created in the book Blood Games. It should not be read out of order of the other two books about Olivia, but it definitely should be read! It was a perfect finish to the trilogy. D'artagnan, the musketeer from Dumas' famous story, is the perfect character for this story.
