The plot is not difficult and the dialogue flows smoothly. In addition, it involves one vampire group pitted against another, with one led by the vampire-heroine Lori Black. It involves interplay (often violent) between vampires, werewolves, and humans who represent government and private agencies. Eaves, is a real page-turner, with all the characteristics of a page-turner: interesting, exciting, suspenseful. You will not be able to put them down and like me, will be eagerly awaiting the next installment.ĭead and Damaged, the second book authored by S.L. I highly recommend reading The Endangered first, which will put Dead and Damaged in better context. Lori, her loyal friend Quinn and even Lori’s brilliant and manipulative antagonist, Brixton, are well drawn, something which is sorely lacking in books today, especially in this genre.
What I enjoyed most is the author’s use of strong, prominently featured, female characters. In this book, Lori allies herself with humans in a government agency, who share her worthy goal of destroying an evil enterprise, but this is to her own detriment, as she becomes suspect in the vampire world. She imaginatively describes fascinating new technologies, weapons and even genetically engineered vampires and werewolves. The author is very skilled in building suspense and intrigue. As in “The Endangered”, there are no lulls in the action, from the opening paragraph to the satisfying, though violent, ending. Lori’s character continues to be developed through her sometimes humorous and at other times emotionally wrought observations about herself and those around her, both human and vampire. In this second installment of The Endangered trilogy, we again find Lori, a “turned” human and flawed heroine, struggling to find her place in the vampire world. Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017 Second book in The Endangered Trilogy does not disappoint!
