The whole idea of hemophages is such a brilliant explanation for vampires that I'm sure the author could write about 10 more in this series and I'd read them all!

The story picks up 10 years after where Rulers of Darkness left off. Jenn is now an intern, studying to save lives, despite the call of her nature. Grandfather Merrick helps her control her urges, together they make a great team. Then one day Zane, Jenn's father and Merrick's son appears, altering Jenn's life and urging her to accept what she is, a killer.

This is a sequel which is just as good as the first!

I am a die hard vampyre fan, but often you only find books to terrify, not entertain. By page 15 of this book, I had my husband look up "Rulers of Darkness" so I can get it ordered. I try to stay away from sequels, but not this time!!! I have to read them all!! I'll be sharing this one with my friends and I'm sure I'll read it again.

Steven Spruill has done it again, with a gripping book the reader can't put down. My first Spruill novel was PAINKILLER, and I haven't been disappointed since. I always look forward to his next book. Rumor has it that it's called LORDS OF LIGHT, and I'm ready!

"Daughter of Darkness" is the second book by Steven Spruill concerning this disfunctional vampire family. It is a medical thriller, a suspenseful vampire horror story and a heartwarming story of a dysfunctional family. The relationships, the centuries of anger and pain, the love that will not die, make this one of the best books I've read in any genre. Spruill gives the reader an emotional ride that they will not soon forget. If you love a great medical thrillers, great vampire books and great stories of undying love, you have found the perfect book. Erma Arthur, Reading Forum Assistant, MS

This sequel to "Rulers of Darkness" continues the saga of the hemophage - people with a genetic defect that requires the afflicted to drink human blood.

"Rulers of Darkness" tells the story of Merrick. His story continues and we are introduced to Jenn Hrluska in "Daughter of Darkness".

They are both stories of good vs. evil and internal struggle. The characters are compelling and the story line intriguing. I suggest reading "Rulers of Darkness" first. If you enjoy the Vampire genre and tales of good vs evil battling for supremacy, you should enjoy both of these novels.

This book was a wonderful follow up to "Rulers of Darkness" and well worth the wait. I read this book in one day because I could not put it down. Its a wonderful read, but it left me aching for the 3rd book!

It is more than a great book, it is one of the best books ever!
You just have to read it!

I read the book at school,and all my friends had to read it. I now have at least 8 people on a waiting list for this magnificent book. It's a very cool book. I loved it!

I really like this book, and the whole series. It grips your imagination, the hemophage idea actually seems believable. You'll find yourself wondering if you really did see something out of the coner of your eye...Other times you'll be envying the strength, beauty and wisdom of the phages. Jenn is a worthy heroine, struggling against her nature, and not at all helped in this struggle by Zane, her father, who wants her give in and become the cold-bloded killer he feels their kind are supposed to be. I am currently re-reading the third book in the series, "Lords of Light". It isn't as believable as the other two, but in turn is more of a romantic, almost feelgood story that has some paralells with "Romeo and Juliet".

I LOVED reading Daughter Of Darkness. It was truly a terrific book!
