Publisher Description
With Danny at her side and her newfound powers increasing, Blair should be okay. Heck, she even has a sort of friendship going with Tori, her long-lost half-sister. Sure, Tori might be an assassin, but she draws the line at killing family, and she’s willing to help Blair with something no one else will: taking down Vlad the Impaler, legendary vampire and all-around bad guy extraordinaire. There’s just one problem, though. Vlad is also their father.
Blair knows time is running out, so when Tori arrives with the story of an ancient amulet that might protect her, she sets off to search for it. She’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep herself safe while she prepares for her fight with Vlad, but it soon becomes clear that every step she takes and every enemy she defeats is just bringing her closer to the inevitable showdown…
Customer Reviews
Baffling and under-cooked
This, the last of a quasi-quartet, is a bit of a let-down. The plot is genre-obvious. Magical devices pop up over often to fill in for holes in the story arc.
However, the worst failure is pure sloppy text editing. Point of view pronouns slip and confuse. Quote marks appear (or don't) making the dialogue very hard to track.
The characters get short shrift and resolution eludes them all.
I want to like this narrative, but I can't recommend it with any enthusiasm.
