| The Ministry has kept the vampire Kaaliz incarcerated in the Pennines, as government scientists secretly experiment on him. Every day that passes, his hatred for his captors and the two former vampires, Claire and Xavier, who made him what he is but deserted him when he became what he is, grows to the point where he doubts his sanity. Ministry agent Lucinda Sheridan helps Kaaliz escape; but before she does that, she demands he change her. He does... into the vampire Sin.
Kaalitz and Sin vow to destroy those who harmed him, starting with Claire and Xavier who live a normal life with their purebred human son and after them the agents of the Ministry. They will kill anyone who happens to be in their way, even the innocent. The Ministry sends their top agents to bring both back, preferably alive so more research can be conducted, but if necessary dead is acceptable. Also chasing the rogue vampiric duet are vampire slayer Chloe and Xavier’s half breed daughter, Lynda.
The sequel to the exciting, refreshing Vampire Dawn is an entertaining vampire thriller that once again emphasizes that no one is all saint or sinner. However, in this novel the maniacal Kaaliz seems so insane that he appears as pure evil, the good he once might have possessed having been vanquished with each experiment and every day in which his makers fail to come for him. Although much more mainstream than the previous unique first tale, Philip Henry provides genre fans with a strong entry; as the past has come back to haunt the present and future of former vampires Claire and Xavier as their offspring has become the expendable pawn of the avengers and the Ministry. | | |
