Kenn Baker’s Endless Night is not the average vampire book. This is a darkly intense story of lust, greed, violence, and primal urges that refuse be ignored…..and I loved it! Filled with bloody scenes of sex and death, it is a more realistic look into what a world with vampires would be like. You won’t find any love-sick, angst-filled vampires trying to find a way to love a human in this book. In fact, there are very few humans in this book: except for the ones that end up as lunch.

I had some difficulty getting into the book in the beginning. There were quite a few grammatical errors and sentence structure problems that I found distracting. I didn’t really begin to settle into the book until the third chapter.
Errors aside, there were things about the book that I enjoyed. The author gives us points of view from all three of the main characters. I liked having the insight from each one because I felt that it gave them more depth.
