This author rocks--More of a Series Review, Jan 31 2010
By Sea Shell Pointe - Published on Amazon.com

Sorry, this is more of a "if you're interested in the series" review:
This author is one of the best authors in the vampire genre. No exaggeration, her pacing makes her the queen.
This whole series is action packed, has interesting characters, hooking plots, and I was not disappointed. And unlike most recent vampire books, this one does not take place in high school, but rather a University and a town dedicated to the vampires. I loved the author's town setting. It's creepy, a new society, and you can just feel the characters' tension.
If you read the first books, chances are that you will be reading all of the books, so prepare yourself.
It is very difficult to review just one of these books because they are so connected. They pick up right where they left off--that's how good the author's flow is. My only complaint is the "high school" feeling some of the characters from the University give off.
If you want a quick overview of what the first book is about: Michael Glass has a problem staying in his own home. The problem--he has odd hours and exists only at night but in the daytime he vanishes. No one knows where he goes.
Just a heads up for those who are interested in the series: While the author avoids pre-marital sex for the first few books, it will come up. So be advised if you are planning to buy this for your teen. Not that they're explicit, but hey, this stuff is good to know before buying gifts.

Very very addictive series, I found it very hard to put down and highly recommend that you read the entire series. Cannot wait for more books. The series is action packed with great creativity not exactly a typical vampire series, contains lots of adventure. You will not be dissapointed there is something in here for everyone.

The begining of a great series, Jun 5 2010

I loved this book and it instantly sucked me into the series. It is great to have the first two novels in one book. The only thing that I didn't love about it was that a lot went wrong for the main character. A lot. Other than that, the writing and plot are great. The four main characters, Michael, Shane, Eve and Claire are so well written. You will want to be friends with them all. This series is definitely one to check out.
