Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I loved Blood Oath, the first book in this series (and recommended reading), but I could. not. put. The President's Vampire. down. If you enjoyed Blood Oath, TPV is a slam dunk/victory lap. And if you're jumping into the series here, you'll have an excellent time and will catch up quick.
Cade, our titular and uber top secret vampire, is a very scary and inhuman piece of work. But, my fellow Americans, he is *our* very scary and inhuman piece of work: fighting the supernatural bad guys and all manner of evildoers (including a bittersweet-yet-enjoyable gory demise for Osama Bin Laden which will have to tide me over for the time being). Reading Cade's sections of the book is a lot of fun, as he pretty beyond "good and bad" and just channels his inner demonic Jason Bourne. But...Cade was once human, and he possesses honor and some dim recollection of emotions, elevating the character beyond a simple badass, one-note hero.
The supporting cast is great, especially Cade's government-appointed "handler," Zach. Zach is very human: charming yet emotionally isolated, too smart for his own good, and perhaps considering himself a little too untouchable with the world's best bodyguard keeping an eye on him. I was Team Cade in Blood Oath but 100% Team Zach in TPV...the character has really grown and come into his own.
I love comic books, monster movies, vampires (gothic to Twilighty), twisty political thrillers, and just plain fun reads. TPV delivers on all levels. A great vacation/flying read when you want to lose yourself for a few uninterrupted hours...don't start this book at 10 at night as I did! Two thumbs up.
