5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Series, April 20 2004

By	Elizabeth "lking173" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent vampire series. Very different take on vampires. If this is your first Christopher Golden book in the Shadow Saga, I would highly suggest reading the series in order. (1) Of Saints and Shadows (2) Angel Souls and Devil Hearts (3) Of Masques and Martyrs and (4) The Gathering Dark. I enjoyed this series as much or even more than the anita blake and tanya huff series. Highly recommended.

Book #2 continues where book #1 ended. At the end of book 1, the world found out that vampires really do exist. The world is also very sympathetic to vampires because in book 1 a few evil members of the church tried to have them exterminated, and all of it was caught by a news crew. Vampires now have rights in the world. Counsels have been formed to help vampires and humans work and live together.

But things are not as "perfect" as they seem. Hannibal one of the vampire leaders is upset at the new life of the vampire. He liked the vampires of old, attacking the humans, killing them. He doesn't want to be their friend, he wants to hunt them. Hannibal secretly starts to build his own army of evil vampires. He has plans to attack when the time is right.

Also, as usual with this series, a variety of characters are involved in different things. In Book 1 you met Wild Bill Cody and the famous news reporter Allison. They are now a couple, and taking a vacation. While on vacation, they come across some demonic incidents and then the evil villain from Book #1 makes a return appearance. This book is about the fight between the evil versus good vampires; and the evil demons in hell.

Very good book and a GREAT series. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's good for what it is, but it isn't all that, Jul 29 2000

By	Dan Monaghan "bcbeads" (Post Falls, Idaho USA) - See all my reviews

I dig vampire novels. So when I saw the shadow saga I just had to have it. I enjoyed the second one because I thought the idea of a shadow justice system was cool. And all in all it was a good story but I think the characters were just a little too invincible. It's kind o' hard to relate to something that can't, under any circumstances, die. But like I said, it was still a cool story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good....for a sequel, May 1 2000

By	"benyamin" (USA) - See all my reviews

Its a sequel, come on folks, how good can a sequel be? Of course the first one was better, but this one answers a lot of questions and is a pretty good book. The initial shock of the vampires and their ways are gone, but saga continues, trying to keep the reader still entertained by what the vamps really are. All in all, It was a pretty good follow up.
