Reviews
โEven after eleven books, this series still has great momentum. The gory, heart-pounding action sequencesโa staple of this seriesโdo not deflect from Darrenโs personal growth. Darren falls in love and experiences some very painful losses, but readers who pick up the books for the blood and guts will not feel dragged down by the human or vampire relationships. There is one very disturbing murder near the end of the book, but it is a necessary plot point to fully determine that there is no hope of redemption for Steve. Fans of the series will anxiously await the final volume.โ
