Summary: Fine tale of redemption
Review: This second Diana Tregarde book, which takes place before the first, Burning Water, is superior in every aspect. Along with the travails and dangers Diana has to face we learn about her past and we get to see a wonderful tale of redemption as well. Based on a short story that appeared in the Werehunter collection Diana must contend with a rock band transformed into psi-vampires and a soul-destroyer. To complicate matters, Davey, one of the band is her ex-boyfriend who hurt her badly. A "normal" vampire also gets in the mix as her love-interest. The most interesting parts of the book are the dual tales of redemption. Diana coming to terms with her past and conquering her fear and Davey's fight against what he has been turned into. Pacing and tension are also improved over Burning Water, in this book you actually believe harm can and will come to Diana and people involved with her. Like Burning Water, it is also a fast read. I will again state it is a shame that Lackey stopped writing Diana Tregarde books. Diana is a nice character in a nicely realized urban fantasy world.

Summary: Not the best Di Tregarde book.
Review: Unlike "Jinx High", "Children of the Night" drags and drags in places (a problem "Burning Water" suffers from to a lesser degree). I bought it to read on a plane and found that, several times, staring at the ceiling was more entertaining. When it's good, it's very good, but when it's not, it's quite dull.
