This book was much better than the previous book in the series. I read it in one sitting and didn't want to put it down until I was done.

My only complaint was the surprise in the attic. Betsy makes a big deal of how she should have listened to the warnings about it and when she finally had to deal with her "surprise" it only lasted a few pages and had no real impact on the book. I did wonder if the "surprise" would turn out to be Betsy's father since he hasn't been seen for a while, but that was pure speculation on my part.

I was sorry to see that Betsy's friend Jessica became sick, and while I understand the reasons given

for not turning Jessica into a vampire,

part of me hopes it does happen.

I'm curious to see where the thing with

the vampire hunter

Jon goes but I'll admit that I don't care for the character and I don't miss him when he's not in the book. I would be happy if Eric or Tina followed through on their desires

to kill him
