Flavius was
a vampire traveling to the City of Angels. Flavius, who had never been good at
socializing with other vampires, despised the politics of the Great House and
hoped to avoid it all.
“Still, being able to see firsthand
how a hundred-fifty year old treaty with humanity had shaped vampire society in
the United States was of interest to him.” (2)
“Everywhere else, in spite of whatever
power they may have, supernatural beings were often exterminated on discovery.
The New World was the only place where vampires, and other supernatural creatures
lived openly with their human counterparts.” (2)
Writing was rich and dark, although
the dialogue was a bit antiquated. To me, it just seemed like there was more
dialogue than action. I was kind of waiting for something to happen. The
mingling of these night creatures sounded interesting at first, but the story
was just too stagnant for my liking. Perhaps I expected more battle and less
debate. I mean, these are vampires, right?
This book definitely had a
sophisticated palate with an air of majesty, but I have to say that this was
pretty dull for me.
My rating: 2 stars
