I honestly didn't know a lot about this series until I found it while wandering in my local library one day. Being the vampire obsessed individual that I am, I immediately grabbed it, found the nearest seat, and started reading.What an utter waste of time. Some of the details were so unbelievable (like humanity being completely ignorant of their imminent destruction by the Daimons/Apollites). I also could not stand the heroine, Susan. Mary Sue if I ever saw one. If she was half as sarcastic, half as much of a super-woman, and had a slightly less "pity me" background, the book would not have suffered for it.This book did have some interesting qualities to it, however, which made me want to read the rest of the series from the beginning. I fully intend to do that, and I hope that Kenyon's other books aren't nearly as atrocious in their characterizations, cadence, and believability.
