Description
Return to New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s world of the Others—where supernatural entities and humans struggle to co-exist, and one woman has begun to change all the rules…
After winning the trust of the Others residing in the Lakeside Courtyard, Meg Corbyn has had trouble figuring out what it means to live among them. As a human, Meg should be barely tolerated prey, but her abilities as a cassandra sangue make her something more.
The appearance of two addictive drugs has sparked violence between the humans and the Others, resulting in the murder of both species in nearby cities. So when Meg has a dream about blood and black feathers in the snow, Simon Wolfgard—Lakeside’s shape-shifting leader—wonders if their blood prophet dreamed of a past attack or a future threat.
As the urge to speak prophecies strikes Meg more frequently, trouble finds its way inside the Courtyard. Now, the Others and the handful of humans residing there must work together to stop the man bent on reclaiming their blood prophet—and stop the danger that threatens to destroy them all.

Couldn't stop reading
5By bananagirl759I read it in a day and a half, would have read it in a day if I hadn't had to go to work. Even better than the first! I am so glad Anna Bishop is making this new series!!!!Excellent Sequel
5By Amy-Jane R.The first thing I loved about Written in Red was when the wolves were hunting human invaders in the beginning of the book and the author wasn't afraid to be graphic and describe something that most authors gloss over. In this case, it was which body part one preferred over another. While this sequel is slightly more graphic than the first one I felt it had way more to offer now that the enemy has been clearly defined and the world had been set up nicely in the first book. The characters are further defined and refined in this book and the storyline was fast-paced. I laughed, I 'ewwwed' and I prayed that Simon and Meg could get over the awkward stage of their relationship enough to realize that there is something potentially awesome between them. Alas, I will have to wait for the next book to see how things progress with them. Hopefully I don't have to wait a year for the next one but I am willing to wait for the greatness.
