 Great, dark & gritty September 12, 2007
I'm a big fan of 'grittier' storylines and this book is a great addition to modern horror I think.
The characters are believable and the story involves you with them very well, taking you on an interesting journey through Vivian Vande Velde's world of modern vampires. The main characters, Ethan & Kerry end up being chased by fanatical vampire-hunters as well as the authorities - exposing not only Ethan's vampire friends to danger but also Kerry's close human family.
Overall, this dark story is engaging with the reader and makes for a good night-time read.

My GOd! jeje, this book was soooo good! i was SO Hooked! i mean, i loved it soooo much that i was reading the book during class!lol the plot is amazing! really really good! Ethan, it one of the best characters i have ever read in a long time! i ADORE him, his personality, his everything, and it just seems perfect for Kerry to fall into place with him! the ending was sooo very very breath catching! i didn't know wat was going to happen! and it was sooo sad in the end, i didn't want that to happen(not saying wat happend,incase of spoilers) aannnddd...like the others said!! Ethan said he can take the vampire out of him! so there must be a way for her and ethan to b together, i mean read how desperate and sad they were to separate!
PLEASE, OH PLEASE, VIVIAN! PLEASE WRITE A SEQUEL, you can't end it like this, PLEASE write another!!
bye bye:)

Two complete strangers, one long night and a hint of something not quite natural and you get this fantastic book. All the action takes place in one night, the authors pace is relentless just like her characters your exhausted by the end of the book. But when it finally gets there you want to rewind the whole book, like a good film, and rewatch it. Immersing yourself in the smells and the sights. Terrific.
Kerry didn't expect a simple trip to the launderettte's to retrieve her brothers teddy to be quite so eventful. She didn't expect to get cuaght up in a kidnap scenario and have to rescue some random guy called Ethan and so begins her extremely long night. Kerry finds herself caught up in a night of bizarreness that she just cant seem to shake off. And what is it with Ethan? What's so strange about him.....?

kerry nowicki didn`t realise doing a favor for her kid brother would go so wrong.she thought she was doing the right thing helping out ethan bryne, not seeing in the future it would put herself and her family in danger. The characters in this were excellent-Ethan was the best;you never knew when he was lying or telling the truth.Everything in this was well put and described. This is a book that needs a sequl. So if you like vampires,romance,action and danger you`ll love this.
BRILLIANT!!! May 20, 2003

I read this book when I was in High School, I just found it lying around in the liberary and thought that I would give it a go. After I read it once I couldnt put it down, I even read it three times in one day. I agree in Vivian Velde making a sequal, I think she left it open for it. The couple Kerry and Ethan were obviously destined. Ethan said that their was one way for him to reverse the vampire inside, he never disclosed what it was. Lets just all hope for the best. PLEASE VIVIAN GIVE US A SEQUAL.
