lush, evocative, spellbinding tales 
Not for the squeamish or faint of heartsome tales can be quite disturbing Entertaining Some references gain greater meaning as you continue in the series (is that a problem?) A large range of interesting, if one-dimensional, characters; easy to read Silly, lacks any real depth or development Very satisfying. If I were a vampire in the making, this would be jolly good fun. Writing is mostly awful, characters are weak, plot is overdone. An exceptional series that I'd recommend heartilly to anyone and everyone! Not the best written books, but still enjoyableThe Amber Room - Steve Berry
