Review: OK but definately not a deep book
Rating: 3 out of 5

I have read the entire series and without spoiling the end I must say the final book is a major turndown.  With that I would still rate the overall series as about 3.5 stars.  Not good enough for four starts but better than 3 stars.  Unless the female lead Lisa is emitting some form of vampire control pheromes I am unsure why everybody loves her so. She says or does one thing nice for a person or bakes cookies, but so do many grandmothers.  People don't become madly emotionally committed based on these simple.  Her lover Gavin seemed logically challenged and would not have lived for a thousand years while maintaining the maturity of a jealous tweenager.There is no symbolism in the book, no deep philosophy, no deep emotional empathy with the characters.  Even the bad guys seem one sided.  They do bad things, but the only guy I could work up any dislike towards was the military traitor, and that is because I dislike traitors in general.Series summary: Bad monsters do bad things with simplistic plans to destroy the world.  Good guys underestimate our heroine.  Heroine turns out to be uber powerful and single handed saves the universe, one world at a time while sacrificing herself selflessly.  Ok now you can skip the whole series.  But the fun is in the ride, how you go through the story.  Worth a read, but expect the type of entertainment you used to get on a porch reading superman comic books with your buds.
