Customer Reviews

Insight and suspense!

I have read the clan novel-series, and I liked it. But I loved this book! This book shows you, in a wonderful way how it must be,to be a vampire. You get a fantastic insight into the vampire mind. Intrigue and suspense are the keywords in this book. After reading this book you will understand why a Ventrue is an ideal prince, how Toreador operate and why the Sabbat is a viable alternative to the camarilla. If you are looking for physical action and bonecrushing, go watch an action-movie! If you are a hunter fan you can ignore this book, this book is solely about vamires. There is not a hunter in sight. This is a great book, and Carl Bowen is a great writer with prospects.

Not what I expected... but worth the price of admission

Based on the title (and the colors), I thought this book and subsequent series was supposed to be devoted to Hunters. I was a little confused when it wasn't, but by no means disappointed. I think the book does an excellent job of portraying the World of Darkness and the denizens who inhabit it. While it certainly isn't a tale of earth-shattering proportions (no finding Holy Grails or hunting down Methuselahs or all-out Armageddon), the book still tells a good story. It gives more of a feel of the 'everyday' life of the Kindred and their dangerous existence. I liked the detail and focus the book had. By getting away from the WoD hot spots and big players, this book was able to really spend time drawing out the characters and their thoughts and plottings. If you want to read about high adventure and action, then forget this book. But, if you're more into story, plots (and counterplots), and characters then I think you'll definitely find it a worthwhile read.
