Recently named the most visionary in the world, Cassandra Palmer still has a thorn: a spell keeps sentimentally attached to Mircea, a sexy vampire master, and while it is well, never recovered the reins of his life. The magic that binds them can only be broken with an incantation found in the Codex Merlini, an ancient grimoire.

seems that the Codex has been lost in recent times, and Cassie will have to look at the one place where can still be found: the past. He soon realizes that the book has been lost for a reason. Spells it contains are so dangerous that his selfish desire to get rid of Mircea could endanger the entire world.

The plot of this novel focuses on the pursuit of a counter that is to break the spell that binds to Cassandra with a vampire and can destabilize the romantic relationship and maintaining both their lives, making their relationship in a power struggle that can lead to madness. For this task, our hero must travel to different points in time and space to recover the codex that contains it. He will be joined some friends Pritkin somewhat unique as an incubus escaped from Hell (although sometimes it is said that he was expelled), a ghost that feeds on vital energy, the vampire himself is tied, and a host of curious characters .

Perhaps the biggest mistake I made to delve into the pages of this novel was to neglect the reading of his two predecessors because, although you can easily follow the storyline, there are certain aspects and details of some characters and their different histories that have confused me and I had to assume or guess most of the time where the shots were. So, I can say that the first pages have been a little to tone with the author and her own world recreated here. As I said, this is the third in a series, more specifically, which corresponds to Cassandra Palmer, a young clairvoyant who was just named Pythia (that should be in the earlier novel) and whose power is beginning to rival that of other powerful creatures. It is a curious mix of issues that come together in this Wrapped in the Night , as can be found on the same page with Incubus devils, vampires, wizards, goblins and even pterodactyls and gods of ancient Greece.

As far as I could ascertain, Karen Chance is a highly acclaimed author in other countries and has been wrongly compared Charlaine Harris, author of the saga of True Blood . I think these authors have a totally different style and, although Harris argues for a more rough plot, Chance makes a softer, more suitable for the romance genre in which box is the author and his books.

reading is not suitable for everyone. The fantasy is brought to the limit and the amalgamation of cultures and myths can not be appreciated by all the world and even exceeded. But it is certainly an interesting adventure, yet be a both sweetened. As a final note to anyone who is interested in going into the series, I will say that I recommend to start at the beginning The Breath of Darkness , origin and raw adventure of Cassie Palmer. Well, I also recommend reading a bigger pocket than those who have difficulty with small print, it can be quite an ordeal.
