Being a teen vampire has definite elements of cool, but any
advantages are vastly outweighed by being on the hit list
for an ancient vampire brotherhood who believes young
vampires should be assassinated before they can make more of
their kind.
Zack has managed to evade their hit men with the help of his
mentor Ophelia, but it means he and Charlie have had to
leave their girlfriends, Luna and Suki, with their family for
their own safety. His buddy Charlie manages to get them out
of the house once in a while for raves or just to burn off
energy running through the night, but things change when an
unknown and unconquerable beast begins to hunt any vampire
it can sniff out. The elements of an ancient prophecy begin
to occur, leading up to what may be the End of Days. The
vampire assassins may be after Zack for an entirely new
reason when it begins to look as if he is the chosen one,
fated in the prophecy to save or destroy their race.
Book 2 in the Night Runner series picks up where Night
Runner leaves off, with Zack and Charlie whisked away
from Luna and Suki into a safe house with Ophelia. When the
mysterious Mr. Entwhistle (who helped Zack break out of the
mental institution) appears, Ophelia's reaction makes it
clear he is not all he appears to be. He may not be on their
side at all, despite the risks he takes to hunt down the
beast.
Although it is not the very best I have read in the genre,
Turner has a good grasp of teen dialogue and an interesting
premise. END OF DAYS is a solid addition to the budding
series, and brings up enough intriguing questions to make me
eager to read book 3.
Zachariah Thomson has spent the past year getting used to
the idea that his best friend, Charlie, and the lovely Luna
are now vampires, like him. As they learn to cope with the
changes this brings, a mysterious creature appears.
Likened to the Beast of the Apocalypse, it begins to
dismantle the network of support around Zack, who discovers
he is more than just an orphaned vampire – he is the subject
of an ancient prophecy that relates to the End of Days. As
friends and enemies, old and new, throw his world into
chaos, he is forced to re-examine what it means to be good
at a time when it seems that only the strong and ruthless
can survive.
