I too really enjoyed the story (although have to admit that some of the book was a bit slow for me, and I thought that the author repeated himself numerous times). All in all though it made me want to read book two (whenever that is going to come out)!Stephaniehttp://stephanieswrittenword.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-13180133459735794612011-07-31T21:26:31.530-05:002011-07-31T21:26:31.530-05:00While Amy sounds like a fascinating character, and...While Amy sounds like a fascinating character, and I'm intrigued by the beautiful storytelling you mentioned, but I'm usually disappointed by stories with government agents and conspiracy government plots.

The beginning drew me in and kept me turning the pages until the middle part which I kind of struggled to get through but then the end engaged me once again. I agree that the characterization here was fantastic but I was frustrated with how many of the characters died as soon as I came to care about them.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-77195154837632431492011-07-30T10:50:34.011-05:002011-07-30T10:50:34.011-05:00I've never heard of this one.

It's definitely one of my favourite vampire stories. Yet to call it just a vampire story really doesn't do it justice. The human survival story was one of my favourite parts too.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.com
