Having uncovered secrets about her rebirthing (when she became a vampire), Mira now trusts only Danaus, even though he is sworn to destroy all of her kind. Mira, alone, knows his secret, and together they harness their powers to keep the other races from running rogue over the earth and destroying everything. Their main objective is to prevent the rogue princess of the naturi from opening a portal to another plane of existence from Machu Picchu on Earth, where the balance of Power would be lost and the enemy would be able to free their queen. But Mira has discovered that she has a new power – one that she isn't supposed to be able to have – magical earth powers – and she is learning to harness them slowly and combine them with the fire. But the two magical forces don't work well together and could very well kill her if she isn't careful – if her former master Jabari doesn't do it first. As a nightwalker, Mira is unable to sense the naturi like she would a human. But with the earth sense, she can. There is an excellent mix of action and emotion in the Dark Days novels, with the hint of romance and feelings developing between Danaus and Mira. It is frustrating to see it and not see it, but that is something that keeps the readers coming back to see how the author is going to keep it going – at least, how a good author does it! And there is no lack of action in the book, I have to admit – but it does seem to be getting a little repetitive with the "go here, attack, recover, redo in different place". I love the writing and characters, just needs a new jolt to the plot.
