Absoloutely Brilliant! I was given the first book by the rep that we meet with at the store. And while I normally stick to reading and reviewing Young Adult and Children's books for the most part (being a childrens specialist bookseller), The first book captivated me so much that I rushed out to buy the second! And in my opinion it is actually better than the first. The storyline is stronger and you feel the main characters pain and misery as they are trying to overcome a very formiddable oppone More...

Of Saints and Sinners, Angel Hearts and Devil Souls. The Shadow Saga. As the vampires of the world prepare to do battle with humanity, and each other, the possibility of a new life for those that remain is what spurs them on in their bloody quest...

I couldn't find "Of Saints and Sinners" in goodreads but it's part of the saga. If you're interested, you really should find it.

This was the book that hooked me into the series and started my fascination with vampires in general. The characters are real and full of depth, the story will suck you in and hold you tight and will stay with you long past the last page. Years later this still remains one of my most favored books!

Often doesn't matter if series books are read out of order, but now that I have started #1, I realize my enjoyment of this one suffered greatly from not having the background. But I enjoyed it enough to start #1, Of Saints and Shadows.

A quick read, short on vocabulary, but a good plot. Has the feel of a vampire thriller. Good for reading on the run and travel, or easy thinking.

Amazingly, this novel was even better than the first in the series which I loved. I read this one first and went back to re-read it after getting and reading the first in this series. It continues the story of vampires battling their brainwashing at the hands of the Catholic church, the supernatural minions of the church, and each other.

If you can't say something nice...I was tickled by the Lovecraft inspired demon names. And I like the gargoyle on the cover.
