(4.75) Again this was my second read through of this book and I flew through it again. This one was slightly better than the first it didn’t have as many drawn out parts to it and I enjoyed the introduction of a new character. I also enjoyed the new storyline that came with the new character, but feel bad that now Vlad has to deal with a slayer trying to kill him on top of everyone else.

I loved this book!
I forgot about the trip to Russia but its been years since I read these books. Vikas is such a king and I love him.
I wish Otis and Nelly were able to get together. Vlad would have something like parents again. Joss' betrayal still hurt this time around as well. I just can't believe it. Like king couldn't even put aside the fact that Vlad was his friend first but trauma I guess.
Henry is a good friend and I will not stand for an slander on my man's name.
I do really hope we start getting more about Meredith than just her being a pretty face. But I don't remember much about her from the first time I read it, so my hopes aren't high.

I liked 'em because they were quick and easy. I would have liked deeper relationships and characters but for a series about teenage boys; I suppose they had as much depth as you can expect ;)

Brewer's talents continue to shine as the series goes on. The pop culture references to other types of modern vampire lore are welcome and Vlad's curiosity perfectly mirrors that of readers. I also stand by my previous remarks that she has a particular gift for capturing the feelings that come along with being this particular age. As someone in my 20s, I still feel the way that Vlad and his friends do a lot of the time, only proving that my inner 14 year old continues to shape me. I admire Vlad's ability to just keep moving forward, though, no matter how awful things get. He still wants to do the right thing, he still cares about Aunt Nelly, Uncle Otis, and Henry more than anything in the world and doesn't want to see any of them hurt, and he just tries to do the best he can with the situation he's in. Vlad is an admirable guy and it's no surprise to me why boys and girls alike gravitate to this series. Vlad gets it; Brewer gets it.
