Like this is hitting me real hard. I can feel the sadness and the fight. They’re good boys and and don’t deserve what’s coming down. They have some good religion. I’d like to be like these men. We fight for the ones we love.

    Ok I read this and did like it quite a bit but don’t think this author has ever met a living woman. The action was great and the characters mostly also, the men and vampires, but oh, painful to read the female characters. Always mothering, or falling apart, or providing a drink, administrative assistant.

    Overall though - enjoyed it and thank you!

      Very fair and accurate criticism. There also wasn’t a ton of character development.

      The vividness and internal monologues caught me. As did the constant tension. Stress and tension were very well portrayed such that action was a relief.

    Accidentally poisoned myself and was talking out of my head.

    I’ll read more tomorrow, seems like a very good book so far. I especially liked the part where he cussed the pope and cried into his lap.
