when i pick up this book i can not put it down! it is just breath taking good and phenomenal. i usually don't write review for books, but for vampire beach i will write a review for it anyday!

Jason Freeman has mostly adjusted to living in vampire-infested Southern California. Jason loves a vampire, has vampire friends, and even some in his family tree. He's pretty accepting of it all. But then he finds himself with a crossbow bolt sticking out of his chest and in the hospital. He is luck to be alive. But there are others who are not as lucky as him. There is another attack and the victim does not survive. Suddenly the community finds itself in a bit of a panic. Special investigators arrive to try and catch the new serial menace. Jason's non-vampire friend is convinced that there is a modern-day vampire hunter in the are. Jason becomes convinced but the local vampires claim the Hunters died out centuries ago. There are some more attacks and theories are all over the place. The investigators don't seem to be getting any closer. Jason is convinced the vampires are not taking the threat seriously enough. But eventually events unfold and the killer is revealed. To find out who and how you will have to read the book. This is working out to be a pretty good series. Surfer vampires is a nice twist and the author handles it well. With each book we learn more of the characters and the society. This one has a good mystery and is well paced. Readers with a good memory for the earlier books might piece the story together a little faster. If you liked the first two volumes then you are sure to enjoy this one. Check it out.

Jason's in a world of danger, at least according to the psychic at the fair his sister forced him to attend. Jason scoffs at the idea, but after an afternoon at the beach filled with surfing and volleyball, he takes her warning more seriously. Alone on the beach, he's attacked, shot with an arrow from a crossbow. At first, he believes it to be just an accident, but when vampires start dying around him, Jason decides to uncover the truth behind the murders. Who is attacking vampires in town and why did they go after him? His buddy, Adam, believes a vampire hunter is responsible for these attacks. Jason must not only suffer through the recovery of his wound, but also personal rumors floating around about him and newly single Sienna. Can he handle all the stress in his life? VAMPIRE BEACH is an addicting series that will leave readers wishing for the next installment. RITUAL is the third book of this vampire series (following Bloodlust (Vampire Beach) and Initiation (Vampire Beach)) that takes a bite out of the "Gossip Girl" lifestyle. Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel
