Rating: Summary: Finally -- More Vampire Files Review: The Dark Sleep is indeed an excellent addition to The Vampire Files. I've read them all and really thought the last few before The Dark Sleep were getting a little stale -- they seemed to have the same story line over and over. Now we get to learn a good deal more about Escott and see the friendship between the somewhat bumbling Jack and Escott grow deeper. Escott has a big secret and something terrible to live with from his past and it all comes out here.And lots not forget Bobbi!!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful New Edition to the Vampire Files Review: This book was a wonderful addition to the Vampire Files, chronicaling the unlife and times of vampire journalist/P.I. Jack Fleming. I was really intrigued by Escott, and I am happy that we found out more about him in this book. The story was superb, though for some reason, reviewers seem to be hooked on overplaying the whole "case" that Jack and Escott are on. I found Jack and comp. personal problems much more interesting, although, I must admit, the case WAS...funny. As the writing, which is as always superb, I have to say it here. This book, and all Elrod's books have such a wonderful flow to them. The lines don't sound rehearsed and characters do have little problems they must address,just like the rest of us, such as parking, which some books/shows/movies always ignore. Wonderfully written! Brava!
