Helpful Score: 4
I liked this book for the most part. I'm looking at it as "getting to know you" intro to the series book. There are some really good secondary characters and their story/history could have added a lot to the whole. Preacher and his Gullah guys, the Dupres and Nyx--heck even the mystery of Riley's rare blood could have been expounded on.
To me the most bothersome thing about Riley was her repetative assertions about how tough she was and how hard. She wasn't a trained fighter or anything and had no prior knowledge of the powerful vampires that were out there. Her "toughness" was based strictly on being a drugged out club kid/Goth who was easy. I don't get how that makes her strong/tough or experienced enough to insist she can handle and kill feral vampires in a month's time frame.
That said--I will most likely read the second in the series due out in June 2011--if it doesn't go deeper I won't be looking for the third book.
