This novel will grab you from the opening scene and never let you go. The plot moves swiftly along surprising twists as the street kid and the Byron-loving undead hero chase across two countries. A great read

I don't know whether I'd call this one horror or not. There's not much scaring going on, and almost everyone in the story gets along, except for the antagonist, who is mainly seen through toward the end. Sure, there are horrifying scenes, like with the sadistic, snake obsessed, drug dealer, but overall this one reads light and comical.

The main characters are easily latched on to. They seem real and although they pity themselves a bit too much at times, their personalities are amusing and deep.

The thing that wins this novel over from stale to something- you -cant -put -down- to- save- your- life is that there are surprises along the way that jarred me to the floor. Things about one of the protagonists I would have never imagined. Some of it was predictable, sure, but for the most part: complete disbelief.

In the end, I wouldnt pay a lot of money for it, but it was still worth reading and, when read, kept my attention big time.

I enjoyed this book from the beginning! I read the whole thing in about a day and 1/2. I just couldn't put it down. Kilpatrick has a way with words, and I intend on looking into more Kilpatrick!

This was one of the most interesting and fast paced vampire tales I've read lately. Granted, the heroine can be a little anoying, but not always... very imaginative story. Keeps your interest.

This book lacks a decent story-line, the plot is unimaginative and not detailed enough and too fast-paced, the sex scenes are crude, there is no in dept study of any character... I'm an Anne Rice & Laurell Hamilton fan so I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to Vamp stories. I'm sorry but this is the worse book I've read on the subject
