Those Across the River begins slowly, hinting at dark events, creating a sense of dread. When we finally discover what is lurking across the river though, I had something else entirely built up inside my head so I was a little disappointed. It makes sense; I just expected something more twisted, less supernatural.

I didn’t care for the intimate scenes between Frank and Eudora. I wasn’t offended; I just didn’t really see the point, or at least not all of it. Aside of showing their passion for each other, I think Buehlman wanted to provide some foreshadowing and then ramp up the dread factor as Eudora’s transition begins: I get that, I just thought it was a bit overdone. ...more

review

**spoiler alert** A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All **spoiler alert** A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All lights are out. All communication channels have gone quiet. (copied from the book description).

When Ephraim Goodweather investigates the darkened plane, he finds all but four passengers and crew dead, with no signs of struggle. A strange biological residue is splattered all over the interior of the plane and there are tracks of dirt leading to (or away from) a large ornate box in the cargo hold.

The four still alive appear dead and are rushed to the hospital. At the morgue, the autopsied corpses are found to be drained of blood–and the ones awaiting autopsy show no signs of decomposition. And then, the corpses disappear . . . as do the four survivors.

As you may have guessed, The Strain is a new take on the vampire tale. It starts off fairly strong: the darkened, quiet plane on the tarmac is darn right spooky. As the story continues however, certain details get in the way. First of all, I’m still unclear as to how the vampire subdued all of the plane’s passengers at once. I can accept that the cause for the vampirism is a parasite–but, since we’re going with a scientific explanation for vampirism, I need help understanding why a parasite can’t cross water without a human making the arrangements, as well as why only a silver-backed mirror works for the reflection test. Maybe those questions will be answered in the remaining two books of the trilogy. ...more
