Sharra is Malek's chosen keeper, but he takes her before the keeper ceremony can be done. Now Daemor, the head of Raven House, has the perfect weapon – and reason – do away with Malek and Mikael de Wohlf, once and for all.
Daemor's plans, however, aren't quite as foolproof as he thinks. Mikael and Bella de Wohlf step in to handle things in their own way, dropping Sharra and Malek into a delicate and potentially deadly situation.
The Ravenson Project is book 2 of Chronicles of the Cursed. Like the first book, Blood Red, it deals with interactions between two rival vampire houses. This one, though... From the very first page, it reads like an interlude from a longer book. It starts with action (of the sexual kind), and although it keeps the pace steady, this doesn't save the book from being lackluster.
The plot, what little there is, is vague and feels forced. The sex is well done, but even that doesn't solve the problems created by the same editorial errors in Blood Red. Furthermore, the end left me rather confused. It solved very little and seemed entirely too abrupt. I expected to go to the next chapter/page, and there was nothing more to read.
In the end, not even the sex could save The Ravenson Project for me.
