Review: Dark Days picks up pretty much where the first book finished. So that was one thing I really liked, because it had the last two pages of the first book as a starting point.  It was good because once it had done that there were no more flashbacks or dwelling on the previous story because from there on it was moving forwards all the way.





I think I liked this one better than the first because there was more of a story and not just guessing in it.  It had more character development too, which I don't usually go for but this time I really liked it because it gave the book substance.





The illustrations were all really good although sometimes I thought some of the people looked the same as others so it was hard to tell who was who.





I think the best part of the book was the ending.  It was just really really awesome.  I'll be interested to see what comes next.





I'll be really interested in seeing what the third book is like.  But Dark Days is definitely a good graphic novel to read if you like vampires.  Just make sure you read the first book first.

Boys That Bite by Mari Mancusi

Title: Boys That Bite





Author: Mari Mancusi





Published: Berkley Jam Books, 2006





Pages: 262





Series: "Book 1, Blood Coven"





Snippet: ""Holy fu-" he starts then catches himself."Yes,this tithe will be most pleasing to her Goodness." Me and Magnus exchange amused glances."





Summary: Technically Sunshine can't get killed-because she's immortal. Well, not quite yet. Due to the worst case of mistaken identity with her dark-side-loving twin sister at a Goth club called Club Fang, Magnus, a vampire hottie, went for Sunshine's innocent neck. Now if she doesn't reverse it in time, Magnus will be her blood mate forever and she's doomed to be a blood-gulping, pasty, daylight-hating vampire. That would seriously bite. 





Review: Boys That Bite is a very cliche novel but it's actually really interesting.  It's pretty obvious what is going to happen all throughout the novel.  There were a couple of surprises to do with some of the characters but nothing that over the top.





At first glance, I thought the book would take a while to get through but I found that as I was reading it the pages seemed to just fly by.  It  didn't take me long to read at all.





One thing I liked about Boys That Bite was that it was just a lot of fun.  It's one of those books that you'd pick up if you felt like reading something light, breezy and fast.  It held my interest right throughout.





I loved Boys That Bite and I would be really interested to know more about Rayne, and Sunny and Magnus for that matter.  So next time I see the next book in the series I'm pretty sure I'm going to read it.





If you like vampires, or you're not tired of them yet.  Then Boys That Bite is a good vampire book filled with cheesy lines and cliche happenings.
