Before she flees the east coast, the ancient vampiress Eva unwittingly leaves a tantalizing clue the amateur vampire hunters find and use to follow her across the country. Meanwhile, Eva has kidnapped Lisa, Jimmy, and Bo and taken them with her to the west coast, where she has joined another and larger vampire colony, a colony where she does not exactly fit in. To exact her revenge on the vampire hunters, Eva plans too sacrifice Lisa and her baby in a black mass that will give her even more power. It is up to the vampire hunters and the Brethren, fierce vampire fighters, to find and attack the vampire colony before their friends are murdered.
I'm still a big fan of these characters and Conrad's brand of vampire. I enjoyed seeing what happens after After Dark.
3 stars instead of 5 because some sections were repetitive, my disbelief wasn't always suspended regarding what a pregnant woman can do without miscarrying, and some loose ends weren't tied up. Now, I know there's a third book, so I don't expect all the loose ends to be tied up, but some little things that were mentioned on multiple occasions just didn't become important at all. I also found some of the Brethren's actions strange/unbelievable, but I'm not going to go into details because I don't want to spoil anything.
Book 1 started slow but finished on such a good note that when I returned it to the library I picked up Book 2! Before Dawn picked up right where we left off. Good Stuff.
I was hoping for a little more cemetery trail camera review discussion, I'm sure there were some real gems captured on those cameras.
