I still don't like the love line. Dumb. I'm tired of them training. There are some good surprise scenes, though.

Okay. It's getting better. King might be dead. He got taken by vampires and Lilith kicked him over a cliff. I don't like his characterization. Black character. Big, dark, raised on the streets of LA, mother OD'd. Can white writers imagine any other down and out story for a black character? Awhade rass.

I don't like this book. Too many unnecessary scenes. Why do I need to see them making breakfast? I still can't stand sex scenes in vampire stories--except for Underworld. Underworld has a plausible romance and both are pretty serious. Glenna in this story makes me cringe.

Pretty slow going. I'm not too fond of this book. As a vampire story, it's pretty slow. I don't quite know why Lilith wanted to turn Cian. Where is Cian getting his blood bags? Why does King stay by him and King is not a supernatural as far as I can tell. I don't like the romance bit of it between Glenna and Hoyt. I mean they are both magicians, but still. It rings so silly, I guess.

So far this is a good vampire story. I like the characters and the plot. The magician is a little goofy, but I guess if you teleport from 12th century Ireland to 21st century New York, you would be. I just get wary when a white author writes a black character, but so far King isn't stereotypical or clownish. That's good. I just wonder why Lilith is bent on destroying the world--her meals.
