review 1: I was pretty impressed with this start to a new vampire series. The mix of good vs. evil with some Biblical archeology mixed in was a nice twist to the bloodsucker shelf. And the surprise for me was the humor the author throws in. The ending definitely leaves the reader hanging in anticipation of the next novel, yet this is to be expected as it is the first in a trilogy of tales. So now when I get a bit of time I will definitely have to look up the second in the series.
review 2: An interesting start to a vampire series, particularly since it is considered Christian fiction. When picking up Christian fiction, I always worry that it will be too sanitized for a weak constitution, which is annoying when you are the type of Christian who doesn't want to pretend li... moreke the "dark side" of life doesn't exist. But this book certainly fits better into urban fantasy than Christian fiction.The vampires in this book are scary, not sparkly, or alien, or to paraphrase a line out of Nightlight, "better looking than the average person but otherwise completely normal." These vampires, or Collectors, aren't so concerned about sucking blood as much as they are collecting souls of the weak and wreaking havoc in an attempt to hurt the NIstriam, a band of 36 immortals who carry the pain of humanity. If even one Nistriam is destroyed by the Collectors, it ushers in the end of the world.The most significant problem with this book was that the world building was passed along mostly through inane dialogue. The main characters never got to the point and so you find yourself completely confused as to what is really going on. SPOILER ALERT At one point you are told Gina is immortal and that all other Nistriam are not immortal, and then you are told that the original 36 Nistriam have been alive since the death of Christ. I guess I will have to read the next book to figure out what exactly is happening. less
