D.B. Reynolds: Jabril (Vampires in America 2)

This book was so much more action packed than the first book! I feel like D.B. Reynolds is one of those Authors who become better every book you read.
I like how new characters were implimented and old ones remained and stayed strong throughout the book. It's not like they're suddenly 'oh sorry, next book is out goodbye most important person from book one...'

I still have a problem seeing the connection between Raphael and Cyn. I feel like I'm missing it because the connection they form is through her dreams. Every night. And As a reader you only experience a couple of those moments. But I mean, if he secretly visits her in her dreams because of some Vampire JuJu and they make this awesome connection I totally get it. If the love of my life would do that I'd be sold!

I feel like once again, this book leaves room for more. It proves that it works as a series and not so much as a standalone.

I don't really know what I can say about this book without giving too much away other than, its realxing, steamy and you don't have to think too much. You can just sit back in your couch and read through it after a day of stress or iritation.
There are some plot twists that just shattered my heart and all in all i just like Cyn. She's my kind of woman.
In this book she is once again the strong, independant woman but she's also allowed to freak out and be scared. I like that. The image of perfection that has surrounded Supernatural novels has grown old. I like how vampires can get hurt. How Lord Raphael has a huge security detail and people worrying about him every time he goes out. He might be strong and almighty and whatnot. But he can still get hurt.
I love it.

I'm looking forward to the next book 'Rajmund'.

Cover: 0.5/2
Price: 2/2
Characters: 1.5/2
Story 1/2
Overall: 1.5/2

The bad cover takes a lot of this book's rating... Come on, you can do so much better for book covers! it's not that hard!!! The only good thing about the covers is that they all match. It looks nice on my bookshelve.
