London is a Knight of Boudica, she settles supernatural disputes and deals with crazy stuff like dragons on the daily. But she's actually not quite as upstanding of a citizen as an outsider might believe, she's half vampire. In a society ruled by vampires that might seem like a good thing, but this society has also been trained to identify anything dhampir as a threat that must be eliminated. So she has been carefully hiding her powers her whole life. As the third book in the series, Deadly Knight has a tough job of keeping us interested but still satisfying our now two book long investment for answers. I don't know if it did that well-enough to keep me looking out for the next one.
It's problematic because we had all this energy and build up between the protagonists in the last book but it's all fallen through the cracks at the start of this one. The main characters aren't speaking and we're kind of forced to assume this connection between them when we're not really seeing it on the pages. I liked them a lot better in the previous books and though this one tried to take that energy, it just wasn't the same.
I'll probably finish it out because we end on a cliffhanger and I'd like to see how it resolves itself. But I hope that we get a little more of the energy that we were seeing in the first two.
