My mom gave me all three books in this trilogy. I started reading the first one and I couldn’t put it down. I finished it in less than a day and got through half of book #2 as well. It’s a very smooth read. Feels like a flowery version of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. WIth many more vampires and some goddess intervention. The characters are almost 3d, especially the women. I give them 4 out of 5 stars for an enjoyable smooth read, only subtracting a star for the flowery-ness.
