Dory is a dhampir, half human and half vampire. She was given a spot on the Vampire Senate because there is an upcoming war between vampires and Faerie, and they want a position of strength. In addition to the inevitable politicking and threats to her life, she is looking for a friend's missing nephew, which leads to the discovery of an illegal fight club ring. There's a bigger conspiracy at work, and Dory's vampire half is aware of more of it than she is.

The characters are actually really fun to read about and see how they interact. Even without the histories from the prior books, we really see the friendships at work and learn about how the different parts of faerie work in this universe, as well as the vampire power structure. The plot itself is very fast paced and gripping, and I was caught up in the story and cared about what would happen next. It's definitely an interesting series to follow, so I'll have to go back and find the earlier books in the series.
