Ooh, forgot to tell! Finished “Claimed by shadow” by Karen Chance too. Loved loved loved the characters. Cassie (Cassandra) is a really kick-ass cool gal and that mage John Pritkin? He is brooding, stubborn and totally cute! The master vampire Mircea is hot, steaming, and sexy as hell. Thomas? I didn’t like him that much, he was a betrayer; wasn’t he? He didn’t deserve to sleep with Cassie but he did! Bastard! And that ghost Billy? Cool cowboy! Can I have a pet ghost like him, please?
