Not as good as the first one. Good guy vampires just aren't that interesting. 'Rumors of the Undead' was much more sinister in that sense. Actually, I think the movie adaptation is the best, the vampires are just so completely alien and evil. The vampire language in the film is a great idea, highlighting their otherness. This book was also a bit strangely composed. the first part tarried in not so significant things but the ending was totally abrupt. There's very likely a third one in the making...
