Things don't look so good in the Mikaelson family at the end of book one, but they are looking a tad bit better at the beginning of The Loss. Rebekah has moved on from the loss of her love and is enjoying her "life" again. But Klaus - always the brooding type - refuses to accept the fact that his love is gone.
Family is power. The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years
ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when you're immortal, promises are hard to keep.
After a hurricane destroyed their city, Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson have rebuilt New Orleans to even greater glory. The year is 1766. The witches live on the fringes in the bayou. The werewolves have fled. But still, Klaus isn't satisfied. He wants more. He wants power.
But when Klaus finally finds a witch who will perform a spell to give him what he desires most, she secretly uses Klaus to unleash a curse; one that brings back hundreds of her ancestors; and begins a war to reclaim New Orleans. As the siblings fight off the attack, only one thing's for certain; the result will be a bloodbath.
In typical Klaus fashion, that I've grown to love to hate, he takes off on his own path and finds a way to get what he wants. But, as always, it comes with a price that he doesn't realize. Soon the family finds themselves under attack by strange undead zombie like creatures. And every night there are more of them. Instead of banding together the siblings really fragment and go in three different directions here. While I expected Klaus to do his own thing and not really give a crap, I was surprised to see it from the other two, especially the oh so mature Elijah.
Over all this was a very exciting addition to their history. I really enjoyed seeing just how all the witch/werewolf/vampire rivalries got started and their affect on the lives of the people of New Orleans.
