This story has everything I enjoy: a well constructed crime story, vampires in danger of being exposed, Schanke making connections, yet not figuring it all out, and Lacroix contributing to the problem's solution. I love the subtle hints at Nick's darker side when his fangs begin to itch at seeing the bite marks on the victims.

My favourite scenes are those between Nat and Lacroix.

It's great to see the consequences from previous threads (Richard's killing spree, the events at Azure) intermingled in this story.

Natalie appears quite curagous enlisting first Janette's help and then Lacroix's, especially with her memory of Azure returned.

Well done!
