First, thank you for the review of this book – I read both in this series and really enjoyed them. I have to admit that they really pushed me out of my comfort zone – but WOW. A little discomfort is OK. I really loved the treatment of the vampires – it was an enjoyable departure from the more romantised version that we see so often now. I found the character of Jocob facinating on several levels. Why did he want to be a Human Servant? I had to keep asking that question while he continued on his quest. I loved the idea of him realizing his destiny. And it’s been awhile since i actually cried reading a book – I even enjoyed that!

I am looking forward to the planned books to expand the series.

That’s my infantile way of saying he gets more alpha at some points in the book.

Please forgive my ignorance – what does RAWR stand for?

I hear ya. You might want to look at this in the bookstore then. Jacob gets a little more RAWR at the end (there’s actually one really powerful scene in which Jacob does something almost unthinkable), but there is still the planning of things, buying of things, Hank Azaria birdcage like things.

I thought Lyssa did an awful lot of brooding and worrying about her own mortality and power in the first book. If she does even more in this one… I know I am supposed to love this series, since all of my favorite reviewers do, but I don’t think I can get over a hero who plans dinner parties, gives a first rate manicure, and wears really tight jeans. All I could think about while reading the first one was Hank Azaria’s character Agador in the film Birdcage.

But, as usual, your positive review will likely have me buying it as soon as I finish Demon Night. Thanks for the great review!

I just received my copy of Mark of the Vampire Queen today so I haven’t started it yet. I’m glad to here this one explores the emotional/mental relationship more the The Vampire Queen’s Servant. I loved the world building in that book but I missed some of the emotional level that Joey Hill usually brings to her stories. She is one of my favorite authors because of the intimate connection and understanding of her characters she gives readers – even when you are reading about situations you might never have believed you’d be comfortable with.
