Summary: A great twist on an old genre
Comment: This is one of the best vampire books I've read. What makes it so great is that there is a very original twist to it. The relationship between church and the vampires in this book is very original. The writing style is very easy to follow and the story is very good. It really made me want to get the other books in the series.
The characters in this book are very interesting as well. They are rather well developed and aren't your standard, cookie cutter characters that you find in a lot of novels.
Briefly, this book is about a vampire who realizes that all of the restrictions that vampires face are only there because the church has brainwashed them into believing them. By focusing on believing, for example, that sunlight is not dangerous, the vampires can be in the sun with no ill effects. The church, on the other hand, wants the vampires destroyed and has squads of assassins to work towards this end. This has the potential to be an excellent series. I very strongly recommend this book to any lover of vampire lore.

Summary: Oh...... MY..... GOD!!
Comment: WOW!! I'm an avid book reader which translates into a bookworm. Vampires are my obsession, save for the Bishoujo Senshi, and most stories and authors, including the fabled, untouchable "Anne Rice" have repeated them with new characters. Christopher Golden is My HOLY GRAIL, and the holy grail of any Vampire booklover. This book weaves an intricate tale of dark magic, love, sex, and vampirism, and when you think that you've got it all figured out, BOOM!! Babe, you ain't got nothing figured out. It's the most exciting "god I can't put it down" type shoot me in the head to get it out of my hands book I've ever read, and it's sequal is even better. This is a MUST read!

Summary: One of the best vampire books ever!
Comment: I found this book quite by accident and immediately fell in love. This is a completely different take on vampires. If you like vampire or horror novels you will love this book. Our hero is Peter Octavian, a vampire called a "defiant one", and definitely one of the good guys. He is a private investigator investigating a missing persons case for a friend of his. This missing persons case will lead him to a conspiracy involving the church, other "evil" vampire clans and a variety of very interesting characters.
This is an excellent excellent book. I highly recommend to all. You will not be disappointed. If you want to read the entire series, it is called the Shadow Saga and book 1 is Of Saints and Shadows (2) Angel Souls and Devil Hearts (3) Of Masques and Martyrs and (4) The Gathering Dark. I enjoyed this series as much as I enjoyed the first four anita blake novels and more than the tanya huff series. I highly highly recommend.
