Helpful Score: 4

If Anne Rice wrote urban fantasy with a female protagonist and was less hung up on religion, Nightwalker could have been written by her at her best. I really enjoyed reading this book. It's a very dark, swift-moving, and interesting tale that is lush with imagery, passion and, above all, great characterization. It evoked for me all that is good about vampires as literary characters while keeping itself miles above the recent avalanche of cheesy soap opera takes inspired by Twilight and The Vampire Diaries. I haven't been this intrigued with a vampiric world since Buffy and Angel went off the air. I absolutely can't wait to dive into more of this series!

By only gripe with this book is that the editing got sloppy about midway through. Many misspelled words or a missing 'of' or 'a' here and there sometimes detracted from the momentum of the story line. But it is so good, I forgive it almost any errors I can detect.
