I liked the 1st 2 books of the series, so I was eagerly awaiting this one, even going as far as to pre order it.
Yet the book was a serious disappointment. Eph, the main character, had been turned into a drug abusing, moaning loser. In-spite of this, everyone keeps saying how great he is, that he is the chosen one.
The book is slow, and nothing much happens. It looks like the authors were just trying to meet some arbitrary word limit. About half way, I was like "Oh go on, finish the damn book already."
The 1st book was heavily marketed sort of like a CSI meet vampires- the hero studies vampires scientifically, fighting them with modern technology like hand held UV rays.
And yet, here, suddenly it is revealed the vampires were formed from the body parts of a fallen angel. And all this was God's plan. Eph, like Neo from the Matrix, is the "chosen" one.
Mind you, I have no problem with books on angels and demons- I am fine with them. But this books didn't start out as that. They should have stuck to the genre/format of the 1st 2 books.
Suddenly, Eph is the chosen one and he will defeat the ancient fallen angels, even though he behaves like a loser the whole book.
Slow, boring, avoid. If you have read the 1st 2 books, and want to know the ending, here it is, for free:
Angel fell to Earth, for no reason became vampire. Angel killed by other Angels, and his body parts scattered, from where the ancients and the master were born. At the end, they go to the place where master born, keep the ashes of the ancients there and blow up the place with a nuke. Master dies, and the ancient angel is reborn. He becomes a goody goody angel once again, goes back to heaven, and everyone lives happily for ever.
Except for the reader, who paid hard earned money for this tosh.
