I give an extra star for referencing Type O Negative...How I miss Peter Steele, what a man! That said, I did like this book. Really.Found a few issues, like Coal that should have been Kohl. I kept picturing the girl having used Kingsford to line her eyes with and that just didn't work (snicker). And Mint when it should have been Hint, Luc's breath on Pandora's neck, was wondering when he found a mint and was breathing it on her...And a few repetitive paragraphs. Not duplicates, just paragraphs that mimic a previous one so made a few things redundant. Like when she first spied the little girl being kidnapped, and kind of contradicted from one paragraph to another while Pandora was monologuing to herself.BUT the action was crazy, there's humorous times, very dark times, some disturbing times, learning of betrayals, possible feelings of love, the carnival was a delightful idea, and all in all a good time. Enjoyed Pandora, of course, Billy, Luc, and all the crazy Nephs with their hitchhiking demons involved. Colorful world too, descriptions of what real 'para's' are like was fun. If you are fat when you become a vampire, then you'll still be fat hehe. I liked it enough that I'm hoping in buying the sequel I won't be let down and feel I wasted money. More on that after I read All Hallows Night.
