Summary: from Good Reads
He loves her blood, but does her love her?!

Misao and Kyo finally go all the way, and Misao can’t regret the new levels of intimacy, even though all the other demons seem to be able to tell that they are now lovers. But does Kyo feel the same way? Instead of bringing them closer, their new status seems to make him turn away from Misao. Is that just the nature of guys, be they human or demon? Or is there something darker behind Kyo’s sudden lack of warmth?

Feelings: 
I enjoyed the included chapters at the end that gave us some back story on Kyo. That was my favorite part of this volume.  The story of Kyo and Misao is getting to be a bit repetitive for me. They get closer and then Kyo pushes her away. I think that is going to happen again, and I don't really enjoy reading that. I think I would rather read a volume where Kyo and Misao are working together towards the same goal. But if that happened, where would the conflict come from. The build up to sex is finally over, so we have to have a new conflict to keep the story going.

I'm hoping it will be something that brings the characters together rather than pushing them apart. I think it is wishful thinking though.
