THE SUNLIGHT SLAYINGS is the second story in the OLIVER NOCTURNE series.
It's been a few weeks since Emalie has distanced herself from Oliver, assuming he's the one responsible for Dean's death. But out of nowhere, Dean shows back up in Oliver's life. But Dean is now a zombie!
Everyone knows that the person who kills someone is the only one that can raise a zombie. Well, everyone assumes that Oliver is the one that killed Dean, but since he's positive he's not the one responsible, the two have to figure out who is Dean's master.
Besides trying to determine who the mystery master is, Dean and Oliver have to find Emalie and convince her Oliver isn't the guilty person. In their quest to reach Emalie, vampire youth are being slain by sunlight. Oliver learns that only a very skilled Orani would be able to do such a deed. Oliver knows that Dead Desiree in the underworld thinks Emalie is an Orani. But Oliver can't believe that Emalie would go so far as to try to kill him, because she believes he's responsible for Dean's death.
With wraiths, powerful magic, sunlight spells, and Valentine's Day fast approaching, Oliver and Dean have their work cut out for them. Though told by his parents to stay indoors and let the adults figure out what is going on, Oliver doesn't listen to them and gets caught up in all the drama that is unfolding. Dean and Oliver are just as determined to prove Emalie isn't responsible for the slayings as much as they want to prove Oliver isn't the one responsible for Dean's death.
Mr. Emerson writes a wonderful sequel to THE VAMPIRE'S PHOTOGRAPH. The action and adventure is just as contagious as the first one, if not more so. Oliver discovers some of the secrets surrounding his past, but he is still unsure of who he is or what he is destined for.
Now, if the reader is caught up in the adventures of Oliver Nocturne, they'll have to wait for the next installment, BLOOD TIES, due out November 2008.

If the YAs and older have Edward from Twilight, I dare say the younger age group can claim Oliver Nocturne for themselves. I can imagine that this story would stir a whole lot more of suspense and reaction from younger readers than from me as an adult. The story wasn't bad, and it was entertaining enough to make me read it till the end and even made me buy the next in its series, the Sunlight Slayings. In this second book, Oliver has more depth and becomes a stronger character. His adventures are fraught with risks and perils, and shared by his human girl-friend Emalie and their otherworldly companions. The story is fast paced, clean, easy and unambiguous. This is definitely suited for 5th or 6th graders, and for older ones like me who just refuse to grow up. I am pretty confident that the remaining 3 books in the series will not disappoint.

This book is when Oliver tries to be friends with Emalie but there is some kind of conflict about it because Emalie has this spirit and is trying to slay Oliver! But no fear, Oliver is taking control of Emalie ( as in being friends with her again and stop the evil spirit that is protecting her). But this is the sequel of the first book of Oliver Nocturne so if you read the first book and wanna read the second one... be prepared this book will knock you down.
P.S I have the book at home so you can borrow it from me anytime.

This is the second book in the series and continues with Oliver trying to figure out if he was the vampire that killed Dean. Dean returns as a zombie in this book and really is the best character in this book. I didn't feel this book kept the reader as interested as the first one did. Someone is going around killing vampires with a Sun spell and it seems it might be Olivers past friend. I'm hoping the next book is better.

dia de la tolerancia
en este libro hablan acerca de diferentes especies , zombies, vampiros y humanos . creo que brujas tambien .
los niños desde pequeños muestran tales como son , hay unos que discriminan desde jovenes a los humanos por ser debiles o tontos ( segun ellos) pero el protagonista intenta enseñarles que no.

An interesting idea that flowed well, the plot was good but was predictable. The character Dean was the most realistic in my opinion.
