"The writing style is very similar to that used in American cop shows, fast moving and action packed." --Lesley, The Eternal Night, April 2002

I could visualize all the characters, especially Darius himself. A wonderful book for any vampire and horror fan! --Sarah, Berlin, WI

I am a big fan of Anita Blake the Vampire Slayer. And this book by Mark Haeuser is right up there.The first page is exciting and it only gets better.I couldn't put the book down. I am hoping this is the beginning of a series of books with these great characters.

This review is from: Hunters of the Shadows (Paperback)

Grab this thriller by Mark Haeuser! A non-stop, action thriller involving Old World ideas about Vampires but with New World characters,new scenarios,almost visual,choreographed battles to the death. Will the Gypsy Hunter Prevail over the Lord Vampire? Why is an old enemy helping him? Is the Vampire World Council at all vulnerable? Is Shach Meril more than just a furry helper? Order this book now for a new look on a done-to-death subject. Well written ,of the kind you hate to put down because just a few pages on the are more thrills and chills. A good author who really knows his subjects. Best vampire story I ever read!

This review is from: Hunters of the Shadows (Paperback)

Well, I don't really _hate_ vampire books, but Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" was enough for me. But my husband read this book and said, "You MUST read it." So I did. Wow! What a fun, exciting and interesting book! Yes, there is this handsome, sexy, Gypsy guy (woo-woo) who has been at war with this big cheese vampire (boo hiss) for ages, but they both band together to fight an even _more_ evil vampire. Now, here comes the even more terrific part. Their indispensible ally is ... a CAT! Yes, a regular alley cat, or so he does appear. Actually he is a king of cats, has a lot of wisdom, and I wish he had his own book series. Anyway, when the last great battle of the book takes place, the Gypsy hunk plus his former nemesis vampire against the Incredibly Evil Vampire, we get to see (in our mind's eye) a great sight: The Cat King, decked in his battle dress of the red cape with golden trim, his silver earrings and silver necklace, flanked by 40 of his mighty cat warriors similarly attired. Double wow! Who would not gladly go into battle with such blade-brothers at their side? All I will add is this is one heck of a book - there is _always_ something happening that you can't wait to find out the result of (scuse ending that with a preposition.)And that cat - oh me oh my. Reportedly there is a sequel to this book on its way. I can't wait. I hope it has a lot in it about the glorious Cat King. The Gypsy guy is okay, too.
