Loved it
Will admit that I did attempt to read this a long time ago and it didn't happen. I was in the wrong frame of mind, but having watched and loving the TV series, I picked the book up again! What a treat, I find the whole concept of this story line so interesting and I just can't put it down! I need another book!!! Please???

READ. THIS. NOW.
Wow. I read a lot of books and very few have the ability to stick around and make me think about it for days on end. Vicious is that book. Being able to love and hate both Eli and Victor simultaneously is a task that only VE Schwab could accomplish. The plot was so fast paced that I genuinely couldn't put the book down. READ IT NOW!

Maine style Dracula
2nd book from the great man based around vampires. Good story with decent characters and King already has found the ease of a seasoned writer as you are hooked very early on. As usual the book is better than the movie/TV series although that's worth a watch as it has David Soul (70's heart throb from Starsky & Hutch)as one of the leads.

I struggled with this book until I got about half way through and then it got a bit more exciting.

As mentioned in my previous updates, reading about anything religious isn't really my cup of tea and it was only the action scenes when Nina, Finn and co were exorcising the demons that I was pulled in. But even that wasn't enough to pull me in completely.

I dont think I'll be reading the next book in the series.
  
I do enjoy this series. It may only be the second book but it feels like I've known the characters for a while now and I like them all, crazy as they are sometimes. I also love how Tori manages to get herself in trouble half the time and the guys come to her rescue and then end up saving each other in the end. Equal opportunities and all that.

I'm looking forward to book 3!

Eight books in and it still keeps me entertained. I laughed, I grumbled; I enjoyed it.

I'll admit it's probably been a good few months since I read the last book in the series but I caught on again pretty quick and we meet some old friends and enemies and go on a ride through the streets of Chicago.

I love Ethan and Merit as a couple and i'm thinking maybe he'll pop the question in the next book.
