Review: I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews. I almost did not buy the book because I thought it was going to be disappointing. I'm glad I bought it, it did not disappoint. The story takes place 2 years after the 2nd book ends. Eph is a wreck, which is understandable since his little boy has been taken by the vamps. He takes refuge in pills and alcohol, remember he already had a drinking problem before, so it comes as no surprise. As such Eph becomes unreliable and Nora turns to Fet for support. Gus is also part of the gang, which is a plus as I love his character. Zack is being brain washed by the Master and is an obnoxious little kid, as many teenage kids are (no offense), at the same time he is going through some horrible times, his mum is a vampire and he believes his father to be dead. I read a few comments saying that this book is not as scary as the previous ones. I don't agree...I suppose the cat is out of the bag by now, but still, the horror factor remains: humans are living in concentration camps, being bled and bred to provide food for the vampires, that in itself is pretty scary to me. Humankind is living in constant fear of being taken to one of these camps. The scene of Nora and her mother on the underground gave me chills. In this new world order, elderly people and others which the vampires had no use for have been disposed of. The scariest thing to me is how humans are willing to comply and work for the vampires against their own fellow humans. Barnes, ex-CDC boss is now running one of these blood camps and he's a sick, horrible character. I don't want to give too much away, but the book is fast paced, there's a lot of action, there's an explanation to the origins of the vampires, and there's no hollywood happy ending, although it is a very good ending in my opinion. Don't trust the reviews, not even mine, if you have read the other 2 books, read this one and decide for yourself.

Review: I had held off reviewing this book because, as with covers, initial impressions do not often form a good basis for judgement. Unfortunately, it seems precipitate comment would have been kinder. The more I struggle to read this book, the more I worry that there is an impending announcement of the demise of the author of the first two books in this series and a revelation that, in his 'honour' (?) a 'celebrity' author/relative/ fan/delusional psychotic, has undertaken to finish the trilogy. There is no tension, drama, atmosphere, characterisation which in any way meets or approaches the first two books. Chapters do not flow and ebb as before; there is no sense of future events pulling you forward, no mounting fear of past experiences clutching at fleeing heels . Each chapter seems to start and end sharply as if at the turning of a clock, driven by contract not vision. The language is bland, cliched and banal; dialogues dull and domestic, there is no spark of life, energy or spirit in any intercourse between the main characters. The author has clearly moved on, perhaps I should too. Two stars only because of 'brand loyalty' and because it completes the trilogy. In truth, my dog with a colouring book and crayons could have done a better job. And,,, I don't have a dog!
