Just like the first book, Blood and Smoke did not disappoint. The adventure kept me entertained from start to finish. I liked how we focused more on one thing instead of many things. Mostly because I don't think my brain had enough power to keep everything straight this time around. Maybe the next book will go back to multiple timelines or maybe it won't. Either way I'm excited to see what will happen next. Especially after that cliffhanger.

Vampire Underwood's Past

A continuation of Underwood's history. Audio on the computer that allows Finch to get the creation and past history of his vampire master. The origin of Underwood in the New World during the age of pirates is very unique. His adventures when he is inadvertently made into a vampire are action packed and an excellent read. Underwood's ability to avoid true death despite capture is nothing short of miraculous. His further adventures keep Finch tied to the computer until a phone call brings him back to his senses, his girlfriend is in trouble. The book gets your attention and you find yourself turning pages because you want to know what happens next. This series is good, awaiting the next book.

I also lesion to this as an auto podcast. Was surprised to find out that there was more to the original story but understood quickly why this one was made. For it is the backstory of our favorite vampire, Underwood. I have also gone back and lesion to this twice now. Brilliantly written once again Mike keep up the good work.

Amazing. So different from the first book but just as addictive. If you start this but don’t plan on being able to stop to do anything else in your life. Make sure your calendar is free because you’ll ignore meals, laundry and possibly your work!

Really great continuation of book one in the Underwood and Flinch Saga.

[Isis · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this sequel a lot, though I am a little disappointed that it really focused only on a single thread of the multiple timelines (18th c, 1940, present) and also disappointed that it ended in a cliffhanger. Much less satisfying to me than the original novel.

Great book series, can't wait for the next book to come out.
