The Savannah Vampire series is a well written adult urban fantasy series that is more based in drama and intrigue than romance. (ie.,more like The Noble Dead series than the Black Dagger Brotherhood.) That is not to say there isn't romance and sex in it, it just isn't the purpose of the story, which really is about (vampire) character development. By this 5th book, you really get attached to the crew and NEED to know what happens in the end.

I am still disappointed about William's death in the previous book. I really like Jack though and he seems to have grown into a better character in this book. He seems stronger (yet overwhelmed) with his new responsibilities. I'm hating the Seth/Connie storyline though. I just want Connie and Jack to be together. I really hate this Seth complication. As usual, the author leaves us with cliffhangers. Will Rennie survive to become a vampire? What will happen with this new doctor character who want...more
I started and realized that William does not have a voice in this book so I shelved it to read after I read some other ones. I love Jack's wit but I don't see him pulling off an entire book, so....
I just finished and it sucked. That's the bottom line. What was Raven Hart thinking. It made no sense. It is obvious that there will be more but reading a soap opera on a yearly basis is crazy. She needs to think about wrapping up one of her books in a way that makes sense. If a reader lik...more

I have really liked this series in the past, this book had a silly unbeilable feel to it. William, the Father figure vampire is double dead and the characters grief is off and on with silly comments and actions. The emotional level felt in previous books was gone. All the characters except for the twins, were all the same silly mess. The story was all over the place as well, like she didn't know where to go from here, so she opened all kinds of doors ? How sad for me I was waiting for this book...more
Jack McShane does not have it easy. Not only is he a vampire, his "sire" (the man who turned him) has just been brutally murdered by Connie, the woman he loves, who - oops, bad luck - has just completed the ceremony to become the next Vampire Slayer and is lusting for his blood. And if that wasn't enough, a gang of demons and other double deads have infiltrated Savannah, making the place unsafe for living and undead alike. Only by cooperating can Jack and Connie rid the city of the thr...more
Love, love, love this series! I cannot wait for more from Raven Hart! I am totally and completely in love with Jack McShane and cannot wait to see what happenes next...this book kept me reading until the end! Love it!
I am truly miffed about William dead!!!! I'm not sure Jack can carry the series alone. I'm not sure that I want to continue reading as it is now......

Not up to the rest of the series...
I speed through this series with an ernest heat and determination to see it to the end. I am now eagerly awaiting the 6th book. It has sex, suspense and humour with a heavy dose of action. You feel with the characters. You find yourself worried about them when you have to put the book down for a bathroom break. You do not even waste time between books you are eager to get to the next installment just to see where the story is going next.

It they had half stars it would be 2 1/2. After losing one of the main characters I'd lost interest. I kept reading because, 1) I'd bought the book, and 2) I wanted to see where it was going from here. I have to say the end was dumb. Soooooooooooo many questions and no answers. I don't know when the next book is coming out, and at this point I don't plan on reading it when it does.
well i didnt think jack would be able to carry off the book on his own but i was proven wrong, with his great character and wit he made the book a great read, shame about the ending though....is there going to be another one or not........?? very confused if there isnt!!!!!!
If you can get through the first couple of books, the series gets progressively better. This book is the last of the Savannah Vampire series (I guess). It was a really good, quick read - much easier than others since it is only told from one character's point of view. I just disliked the ending. I felt like too much was left unfinished.
2 1/2 stars

My least favorite of the series. I felt like I was reading a story put together on the fly, as if the author had no ideas where it should go.

I hated the way this left me feeling, it felt incomplete. So hopefully we won't have to wait to long for the next book in the series.
Ok, I love the series, but I hated the ending. Killing off one of the main characters is just not cool.
