review 1: I'm not sure whether Mr Mariani was deliberately trying to cross genres by introducing a touch of science fiction into the classic adventure-vampire story but I don't think it worked. The humans and the vampires are believable (Yes, I know !) but the Uber-Vampires from Space living in Siberia underground are not. Call me fussy but I'm a sucker for humanity winning out or just keeping the status quo and surviving but I found this very strange. Did he begin to like his baddy vampires so he made them kind of good ? I personally would have made the Federation the baddies and stomped on that supremo woman in charge of it. I found this book rather disappointing.
review 2: I loved this even more than the first! The characters were further developed and the plot thic... morekened. Dec, whom I think is awesome for an almost 18yr. old, becomes a vampire hunter but ends up with a majority of his friends being vampires! Chloe is kick-butt fierce (like all the females in this book...which is another major plus) and Joel and Alex finally admit their feelings for each other. The twists and turns and alliances and betrayals continue throughout leading us to an ending that I can't wait for the next book (which hasn't been announced yet...please hurry up!) less
