"Cold Fire"

"Cold Fire" by Kate Elliott is the second book in The Spiritwalker Trilogy.  While the first book focused mostly on Catherine (known as Cat), this book reveals more about her beloved cousin, Beatrice (known as Bee), and follows the two cousins (raised together like sisters) as they travel together with Cat's half-brother, Rory.  Bee is in danger and Cat and Rory are dedicated to keeping her safe.  Cat learns more about the man who sired her and her half-brother along the way then is surprised by what she learns and observes about the man she was forced to marry when he re-enters her life.  Will she get the separation and marriage annulment she desires or will getting to know him better change her feelings towards him?  Will she and Rory be able to keep Bee safe?  Can they keep themselves safe?  I found this second book in the fantasy series an easier and quicker read and I'm looking forward to reading the third and final book in the trilogy when it comes out next year.  pazt
