Review: Good, but not my favorite in the series

I am still loving this series. I was a bit worried that this entry would focus on an actual Vampire Child, and happily surprised that it didn't. The focus remained on Samantha Moon, her feelings, and her dealings with the rest of the world. Like the other reviewer here, I'm not a huge fan of the increasing religiosity, but I absolutely LOVED the "occult library" bits, the ghosts, and the expansion of the vampire community, so to speak, to include other characters with varying levels of good and evil. It's difficult, though not impossible, to have all of those things in this kind of book without at least a cursory mention of religion, but...*****MINOR SPOILER ALERT FOR LATER VOLUMES*****... I am happy that there's less of it in subsequent volumes. I enjoyed those more. Samantha Moon does get back to some more actual detective work, and her interactions with the supernatural world AND her family and friends lose that somewhat tedious religiosity.
