" it was pretty straightforward, no real twist at the end. I don't like that he just accepted his newly dead status. /shrug i know these are supposed to be some huge series, but i won't be reading anymore (i listened to an audiobook, loved the narrator, very Noir, and sounded like Cas from Supernatural!)

" You know, I tried really, really hard to like this book. It didn't happen. From the "I'm bored even thought it's happening to me" tone to the "hey, would you look at that, I've a giant hole in me. Huh, whaddaya know?" bit... I just couldn't get into it. "

" Interesting idea for a book in theory but the plot moved so slowly & the characters were so slow to react that I forced myself to listen to this book until the end. I am not one to abandon books ;) "

" Not bad for a first in series. Bloodlist had a Chicago-1920's-mobster feel, and was much more plot driven rather than emotionally driven, which was a fresh change for me in this genre. There were some long moments, but the ending was great. "

" It was good but not what I was in the mood for. The stories are set during the depression and are basically noir mysteries that happen to have a vampire protagonist. No romance to speak of, very little humor, solid mysteries but just not my style these days.
