Rachel's Reviews > Reckoning

Mary Seward is back in England after her ordeal in Transylvania but she still suffers from nightmares of her fiance, John Shaw and his sister Lily. Then Mary's father and several patients from the hospital that she works in falls ill with signs of a vampire bite she is clueless of who is doing it until Quincy Harker, the heir of the vampire throne meets her in the night. He says that he is trying to get rid of the evil in him but should Mary believe him or not?

I picked this book up because I read the first book and it was really good so I wanted to know whay happens to Mary and Quincy and John. This book wasn't as good as the first book at all. The beginning just explained how Quincy turned into a vampire and it was pretty dull. The ending was rushed and it didn't end very well. Where did John go? He just dissapears after Mary sprays holy water on his eye and Quincy shouldn't have been able to escape with Mary because he was so weak. I like the first book better.

I finished this book because I wanted to see what happens to John and Quincy. After I finished this book I was dissapointed because there wasn't much told from John's point of view. It doesn't tell us how he went to England but it did tell us why. The connection to the Tepes and the Bathorns family was also thrust upon me way to quickly. There wasn't even a hint that there was a connection at all.

I would recommend this book and this series to Aloka because this seems like something that she would like to read.
