"Nobody lives forever. Not even a vampyre. Just ask Joe Pitt. After exposing the secret source of blood for half of Manhattan's Vampyres, he's definitely a dead man walking. He's been a punching bag and a bullet magnet for every Vampyre Clan in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, not to mention a private eye, an enforcer, an exile, and a vigilante, but now he's just a target with legs. For a year he's sloshed around the subway tunnels and sewers, tapping the veins of the lost, while above ground a Vampyre civil war threatens to drag the Clans into the sunlight once and for all. What's it gonna take to dig him up? Just the search for a missing girl who's carrying a baby that just might be the destiny of Vampyre-kind. Not that Joe cares all that much about destiny and such. What he cares about is that his ex-girl Evie wants him to take the gig. What's the risk? Another turn playing pigeon in a shooting gallery. What's the reward? Maybe one shot of his own. What's he aiming for? Nothing much. Just all the evil at the heart of his world."--p. [4] of cover.… (meer)

A pretty good book and a great series. Joe Pitt is easily one of my favorite vamps and while I didn't love the abrupt ending, it was worth the 5-book journey getting there. (

I had this book for several years but, because I disliked book 4 so much, I didn't plan to read this one. But then I decided I wanted to clear up my to-read list a bit, so ... I dug it out. It was actually not too bad. Not as preachy as the last couple ended up being and kinda wrapped up the series. Glad I finished it. Glad I finished the series. Don't read this book if you haven't read the rest in the series, though, it won't really mean very much - the point of this book is just to close out all the other story characters that lingered from the previous books.

Overall, I guess I enjoyed it. There is some violence, moderate swearing, no sex. (

I noted as I went on that each book seemed to drop a star. This one barely got 2 stars. It would have been 1 1/2 if they gave that option because my reaction was "So do I care? " and the answer was no.

I can easily list what I didn't like about such as dialogue that went on and on and on until I wanted to say "OH SHUT UP AND GET TO THE POINT." Lots of emotional masturbation but not much forward motion in the plot.

Joe's series simply did not wear well which is sad because I wanted to like it.

Another book in Huston's series about the down on his luck vampire, Joe Pitt. Caught in the middle of a vampire civil war involving a missing girl who may be carrying an infant who may be the future destiny of vampires everywhere, Pitt struggles to survive. And gets increasingly battered along the way. An enjoyable story for those who like this sort of thing, it is almost entirely unmemorable a year or so after reading. (

** spoiler alert **

A solid ending to a blood, brutal series, and I think my brain needs a cleansing shower. 5 stars minus one star for killing Hurley.

By the way, you can find my long, metaphoric (and possibly confusing but quite sane) review of the tone and vibe of this series at my blog: https://armandinezian.wordpress.com/ (

To Simon Lipskar. For suggesting that I might avoid a return to bartending by writing a book in a genre other than crime. "Fantasy, SF, I don't know, horror maybe."

And to Mark Tavani. For ignoring his entirely rational first reaction. "Vampires really arn't my thing."
