I'm a little conflicted about this book. As a Scott Mariani fan, I enjoyed it. As a non-vampire fan, rather less so.

This is typical Mariani fare - great fast-paced action, likeable characters, and plenty of twists.

The vampire theme is not something I'm familiar with, but it did feel a little cliche and there were a couple of distasteful moments - as a non-vampire fan I found it just a little gory sometimes, but I'm sure fans of the genre would disagree. (

Blah, nowhere near as good as his Ben Hope novels. Now I know why this has been on the to be read pile for so long. (

Average story. Nothing really new, or surprising. (

Fast-paced, exciting thriller. I read this mostly because it was set partly in Oxford and Oxfordshire, which is local to me, and it's fun to check whether people are using the setting correctly or warping the geography for their own convenience. Also, always fun to read about the hero using a mini-JCB to demolish large parts of a mansion in the Oxfordshire countryside.

I got a bit fed up with how the human characters didn't last long - lots and lots of them were brought in as chumps for immediate chomping. A bit tacky I thought - could be more circumspect in the bloodbath. Otherwise, a fun, quick, but compelling read. (
