To Walk the Night

Kat Dennings, aka Lady Death, is a vampire who exterminates other vampires and werewolves in a world dominated by the supernatural. She is haunted by the death of her beloved brother, and her only ally is the nerdy engineer and hacker she rescued from the vampire clan that killed her family and transformed her against her will. Against her better judgment, Kat is drawn into a power struggle between vampires and a cult of werewolf-worshippers. A reader who has spent the past two decades completely isolated from all film and fiction that features war among vampires, werewolves, and vampire-hunters might find something to enjoy in this flimsy story, but urban fantasy and paranormal fans will be unimpressed by Moore’s lurching pacing, lazy world-building, two-dimensional heroine, and moments of sophomoric pseudo-introspection like “Even my black hair didn’t betray the darkness that lurked inside.” (Jan.)
