In The Dark Terror, Elizabeth is exploring more of her abilities and getting more adept at them. She wants to figure out what is going on with Julie and Sarah, especially when she sees them spiriting away a baby. She's still unsure what happened that night with Sarah, and she can't figure things out if she keeps pushing her away.

In the meantime, things are getting heated with the good detective Dietrich, especially since she learned his secret in book 2, that he is also a vampire. Though he's much more adept at hiding it and blending in with the real world. He's got some secrets, and Elizabeth wants to find out what they are.

But they all have a common enemy, and if they take out Tobias, they can get rid of Ahura Mazda, the vampire hunters. Elizabeth wants to survive all this to be able to take down her maker, Andrei. They have a rough history, and he needs to go. Though with everything going on, she might not be able to do that just yet.

Knaak has created such a fantastic world in The Dark Passage series, filled with vampire lore, comedy, suspense, and a hint of romance. So it's a perfect little package that hits a lot of genres. Elizabeth is a superb main character because she's strong and makes for a natural leader. Watching her grow over the series, she never disappoints. I'm still leery of Andrei, and I can't wait to find out what Elizabeth has in store for him. And of course, Knaak left us in an intense spot, so I'm going to need the next book asap.

Gaspingly Magnificent!

Knaak pens a wonderfully terrifying story in The Dark Terror. This is book three in the Knaak's Dark Passage series. I've read the books that came before this one, and I think this one is my favorite, although, they all are quite great. Knaak has a way of telling a story that puts the reader on the edge of the seat. Elizabeth is a wonderful character who has grown over the past three books, and I enjoy reading about her terrorizing adventures into the vampiric world around her. Knaak writes very well for the vampires, and this tale of survival keeps this reader turning the pages, and gasping out loud.
