Feels strangely incomplete - the emotional arc may have been completed, but the story arc wasn't. The structure is that of hard-boiled detective stories, yet the "cases" don't get resolved to satisfaction within the book. Witty and sly, the language fits the setting and genre snugly - no word goes to waste. Jack Fleming remains charming. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Because this is a series, don't expect to have everything resolved in this book. There's action for action fans, detecting for mystery fans, relationships for relationship fans, and the wry touch of having a vampire hero who does not want to believe in ghosts. (The resident ghost is not amused.)
I don't know about the other books, but in this one Jack suffers from Wolverine Syndrome. If you're not familiar with that comic book superhero, his mutant powers allow him to heal from injuries that would be fatal to those of us not so blessed, so the writers give his healing factor plenty of work. It is an easy way to show how bad the villain/situation is, after all. There's a scene late in this book that's not for the squeamish. Fortunately for myself, I've read fanfic (not to mention Barbara Hambly and Laurell K. Hamilton). Am I looking forward to reading more of the Vampire Files? Yes. ( )
