I liked this book about as much as The Hunt. This second book lived up to the expectations set forth by the first. Like the first, this one had a unique storyline.

I still wish the vampires (called “Duskers” in this book) would be explained more. I’m so curious about them. I want to know why they can’t swim. This seems like something that should have been explained by now. I mean, what? They’re just completely incapable of learning how to deal with water? The smallest bit of water (it doesn’t even seem to have to be very deep) just causes them to drown? What? Explanation please!

Also, I came across this thought of Gene’s when he was trying to blend in with the Duskers and found myself confused:

I almost lost control over my bladder and that would surely have meant my demise.
So, do the Duskers not urinate either? What happens to the things they eat/drink?

My only other complaint is that I just wasn’t able to become completely enveloped in the story. It was a good story and it’s written well, but it just failed to completely grab hold of me.
