Well, parts of this book were interesting, but it wasn't an improvement over the first book. What is with the rash of vampire novels that carry the writers' own belief systems thinly veiled in the plot? First _Twilight_ and now this... It feels more like reading "fun" propaganda than an actual novel. Is the intended audience supposed to be so overwhelmed by the "coolness" of vampires that are supposed to blindly swallow all of the other messages? It just ruins what would have otherwise been a good story - well, an alright story, in this case, I suppose. The ending absolutely fell apart, and if this series continues, I am more than willing to wait to read the next one when it hits the dollar shelves, and not a minute before that.
