Let me start by saying that Robert Fuller has created a plethora of characters which you are drawn to. You are drawn into the life of Samantha, from all her low points on up to her highs. You become attached to not only Sam, but Sara and Valarie. And you wind up with an intense hatred for Darius, yet still a great respect for her as well. You laugh along with Samantha and Gina, and are torn with the relationship Samantha has with Richard. Yet every character is crucial to the story that is being told and each one is so well written that they are very real to the reader. I have to give kudos Robert Fuller for creating such well written characters.He created a VERY detailed world full of the most basic needs of characters on through to the detail oriented shop. It is a world full of anger and revenge and dark sensuality. There are as many twists and turns in this book as there are in a corkscrew. Never a dull moment would be a phrase I would use to describe the world he has created. Between vampires seeking revenge on through to the normal day to day living of people it's all in this book.All that being said, I can honestly say I felt it was almost over done. Let me explain, the book length is a whopping 731 pages, and yet at the end I was left feeling as if something was missing. I can't explain in any detail about what it is, it's just the way the book ended left me wanting. I was sadly disappointed in the ending. And felt bereft and adrift in a sea of misery.I will say that if you like long books this is one for you. You will keep reading and turning your pages to continue on the story. You will be drawn into the life of Samantha from her parents on thru to her best friend, her boyfriend and then her vampire lover. If you do NOT like girl/girl relationships then steer clear of this book.I will give this book 4 stars, first because I enjoyed the characters and loved the vampires, which were not like Twilights twinkling vamps but vampires from the old school, vampires who drink blood, who kill, who see out revenge. And secondly because I enjoyed the twist of having the vampires being split with some serving God and some serving Satan. I can recommend this book for a LONG read to anyone who likes vampires, good characters and heart wrenching emotional moments.Details/Disclaimer: Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review.
