Summary: Nathaniel Cade is the President’s vampire and Zach

of the supernatural beings that are roaming the earth. In this Nathaniel Cade
novel they go up against the boogeyman. This monster comes back and never seems
to be able to be defeated. This time the boogeyman goes after the one person
that Nathaniel Cade has to protect, the President, during the very important 2012
presidential race.
Review: This is the best Nathaniel Cade novel yet. If you
have yet to read this series you should give it a try. It is a different kind
of vampire novel and one that shouldn't be passed up if you like books with
supernatural aspects in it. Don’t expect a lot of romance, but there are a lot
of awesome fight scenes.
This novel does have some typical vampire quirks in it, but
there is more to it than what meets the eye. I think that the core of this
novel is the relationship between Nathaniel and Zach. Their back and forth conversation
is entertaining and always lightens the mood in this dark series. Nathaniel
barely talks and Zach always has a sarcastic comment to make. They make a
really good team, one worth reading about.
At times this book gets a little crazy and hard to believe.
On the other hand, sometimes I truly believe that there is a vampire protecting
the President, and when a book can get you to believe it could actually happen
in real life, even though it can’t, I believe that makes it a pretty good book.
This book did a lot better at this than the last one. The last one got a little
too crazy at times. I know what you may be thinking, that this book is about
the boogeyman, a non-scary monster that children are afraid of. Well, this
boogeyman is totally different. He will make you cringe. There are some very
heart-stopping plot twisting moments that will keep you on the edge of your
seat.
For some reason I can’t find any more words to
explain/review this book. Just take a chance and enjoy. Who wouldn't want to
read about a vampire that will do anything to protect the President?
Rating: 4.5/5
