Overall a pretty good finale to the suspenseful series, even if a little melodramatic. The pace slows down, and a whole lot of mythology and backstory is revealed, which in turn sheds light on Master's and Quinlin's identities. Since Zack kidnapping in the last book, Eph's character becomes withdrawn and dependant on drugs and alcohol. The major relationship dynamics change and shift into a new pattern. Formerly a shining hero for the humanity is now mistrusted and forced to choose between personal gain and lives of millions. I enjoyed that the authors managed to create very believable characters that bleed and make mistakes. The ending was literally of Biblical proportions. Lovely series that I recommend to any horror fan.

It's like an awesome mashup of all the vampire mythology that I personally like. Readers won't find anything new or groundbreaking here, but it goes down smooth and fun, and it's a really satisifying end to the trilogy.
