Ruling by fear, the new master vampire is throwing her fangs and strength around. It is up to Rachel and her friends to save the city from itself again. Okay, this is the Rachel I know and love. I don't know what was going on in the last book, but glad it is not crossing over. Still, the lack of Ivy and Al was a downer. Still a great addition to the series....more

Three days laHerold's disease sweeps the globe, killing all children that have not hit puberty. The world mourns as experts scramble to find out why. Three days later mass graves are being filled, the children miraculously resurrect. Millions of children are suddenly "awake". No vital signs, smell of decay, skin gray, these children are shells of what they used to be. Only one thing brings them back to their former selves: blood. The blood lasts for only so long until more blood is needed to keep the children awake.
One fabulous bloody book. I love the different take on an apocalypse event using children as our downfall. Parents will fight to the end to make sure their child survives, even if that child is not really their child anymore. Recommend!...more

Told through the eyes of Joey Peacock, who has spent the last forty years as a teenage vampire. Sleeping with his clan in the subway tunnels during the days and hitting up the discotheques at night, we follow Joey in his daily life. We partake in his feeding rituals, how he survives, and rules he has to play by to keep his head attached. Until one night on a subway, he sees a group of undead children. They charm a man and make him follow them off the train. Joey is stunned and follows them. Turning children is forbidden. Leaving them alone to their devices without instructions will get you the final death. War is coming, and the blood will flow.
For a vampire book, this rocked. I loved the main character and found myself laughing at his antics. The end simply blew my mind. I was not expecting that. Wow!! Highly recommend!...more

He partakes in the hiring of a lot lizard at the truck stop he is parked in. Unfortunately for him, this lot lizard is about to change his life with one quick bite. Now turned into one of the undead, he follows his brethren on to the next truck stop for some bloody morsels. Bill runs into his ex-wife and children when the chaos begins. Bill has to battle his own brothers and sisters of the night to save his family.
One of my stepdads was a truck driver and I remember going on a long haul trip with him. I got to use the CB radio, hang out at the truck stop, and watch the lot lizards knock on the parked trucks. Fun times for a kid. I really enjoyed this one by Garton. Plenty of blood flying around. Black humor to keep it lively. Recommend!...more
