“Balthazar’s bloodshot eyes met mine, dull and incurious, like he was past even imagining that help would come.”
As the year winds down I am desperately trying to reach my
goal to read 250 books this year. Looking at the calendar, it is already the 26th
December and I have quite a number to go. In any case, the third instalment in
the teen vampire series, Evernight is an action packed foray into the world of
vampires, slayers (the Black Cross) and the mysterious wraiths.
Bianca, the child of two vampires, is quite literally
sleeping with the enemy, as she and Lucas stay undercover in the quasi cult
that is the Black Cross. This book has something for everyone – domineering
parents, feuds, sex, vampires, ghosts and really crappy part time employment.
It is impressive that something skewed to a younger
demographic translates so entertainingly to this cynical, slightly older
audience. It has been a long time between drinks, but the storyline came flooding back as I began
the 3rd outing of the series.
Now all that remains to say is that – like sand through the
hourglass so are the…. um….err… what I mean to say is, I can’t wait to find out
what’s in store for the next book.
5 out of 5 , I like
my stakes bloody.
