Beneath the Skin

This has been a wonderful ride and I can hardly wait for the next installment. I picture Adam Lambert in the part of Dante and it would be a slamming #1 motion picture event, guaranteed!!!

After Dante killed someone in their own home, Gillispie, Emmet, and Merie, FBI agents, are trying to find Dante and his friends and kill them for what they have done. Dante and Von are vampires and they are running away with their mortal friends Heather and Annie. They finally stop at the "Beaver Motel" and feel that they are safe, but Gillispie and his agents aren't the only ones after Dante and his friends. Mauvis, another vampire, and his friends are also on their trail. Will Dante and his friends be safe for long? Who will find Dante and kill him, or will he kill them first? Can Dante keep his friends alive and himself? Read this book and find out. This book was really good. It was like I was watching a movie but I was really reading the book. It was AMAZING!!! There were cuss words all over and stuff inappropriate for kids without their parent's permission.

I strongly recommend you read the previous books in this series (Rush of Wings and In the Blood) before reading this book. This installment picks up exactly where In the Blood leaves-off. Dante, Heather, Annie and Von are now on the lamb. Dante's true blood vampire and the "creawdwr" Maker identities have been unveiled to some of the most crooked souls on earth and in Gehenna (land where the fallen angels dwell). He is relentlessly and violently pursued by all, including the government's non-existent Shadow Branch division, for their own nefarious reasons. There simply is no hiding place on earth or in Gehenna for Dante. In the previous novel, Dante was kidnapped and had the mental shields that protected him from his past forcibly shattered. With no mental safeguards in place, the guilt from his involuntary hideous deeds of the past is unraveling his mind. Heather has been the one constant sanctuary for Dante, an anchor to help keep him in the present, instead of reliving nightmares of his past. From Dante's birth, he has drifted from one foul slave owner to the next. His existence is full of tragedy and pain. Even in the face of rape and violence, Dante still has a heart of gold and never mutates into the sociopath everyone was anticipating. I really enjoyed this installment. My only complaint is at times it was a little confusing to differentiate between all the secondary characters and keep track of the present and past. Besides that issue, this installment was a hit! The dark, fast-paced, thrilling-action and suspense kept me riveted to each page. There were some parts that were so violent and bleak; it was almost too painful to read. The story absorbed my attention so deeply, I was actually sad when the book ended. This latest installment left me with an insatiable craving for more; it's hard to believe I have to wait a whole year for the next installment. For those wondering what genre this series falls under, I categorize it as a dark urban fantasy romance. I highly recommend this book to fellow dark urban fantasy readers and look forward to the next book Etched In Bone due out 12/2010. I also recommend: Sins & Shadows Cursed to Death (Crimson Moon, Book 4) Soul Catcher (The Outsider Series) Scorched: The Dark Forgotten Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1)
