5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THE SERIES, January 15, 2006

By	Diz R. "booklover" (IL, USA) - See all my reviews

The third of the VAMPIRE PLAGUES triology... It is so adventurous and, I have to admit, suspenseful, with the background located back at the Mayan home, in Mexico. I love how the author relates the experiences to the ancient Mayan ways. I think this is so interesting, also the fact that (although I may sound childish) this theory of his is indeed a possibility of the fall of the Mayan civilization. Well, for all that agree with me, you'll find this book quite intriguing!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Job Rooke!, May 15, 2006

By	Sarah Daniels "helpingstick" (USA) - See all my reviews

This book is everything I hoped it would be. It is exciting, suspencful, and has a good ending, though rather predictable, and very short. Several new characters were introduced in the final installment of the Vampire Plagues, and the old ones stayed as good as they were before. This book is absolutely delightful, though a little on the babyish side, because it is not terribly sophisticated and like I said before, very predictable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading, February 8, 2009

I read this series to my classroom of 10-11 year olds. They have really enjoyed it - full of suspense and adventure. The author researched this series well and the characters are likable and fully developed.
