Review: Even though I'm not usually a fan of vampire novels - Elizabeth Hunter's books aside - I loved Out of the Night. It's fast paced and consistent, the characters are all amazing and the plot is unusual enough to keep you glued to the pages right until the very end.

I stayed up late to finish this book because I just couldn't put it down - so if you love the genre, or even if you just love fast paced stories with a touch of fantasy, amazing chemistry and a happy ending, this one is perfect for you. I loved Campbell and Olivia, but especially Campbell, with his white knight tendencies and the strength to which he clings to what is left of his humanity.


My only complaint is that the ending seemed rushed and there were a lot of unresolved issues. It almost seems as if the author intended for Out of the Night to be part of a series, but sadly I couldn't find evidence of a sequel, so I was left wondering because I really wanted the story to go on, to know more about the other members of the V1 team and about the conspiracy they seemed to be on the brink of uncovering.

Recommended.
