About the Book: In a remote village the unthinkable is still happening, despite the time and age – member of Nobility, a vampire, known as Rose Princess, rules over humans. For the price of a hunt and blood, she makes them flourish, harvests always bountiful, unmatched. So, when D comes along, a question arises: is the price fair enough?…

My Opinion: A brat of a princess, and her four immortal, loyal to a fault knights against D, who just wanted to explore some ruins in peace. This book is absolutely packed with twisting action, where you can never know who’s foe, and who’s friend. Additionally, the plot twist was superb, unexpected, but well served. My only complaints would be that despite how well the side characters were constructed – passing with logic is never an acceptable propeller for the story. But, other than that, smooth reading.

The Vampire Hunter D series has always been a pulpy good time but this entry nudged into trashy territory. Elena is a terribly obnoxious character and I disliked reading her scenes which sucked because she was a large part of the overall plot. This story still managed to entertain me but this novel ended up being the weakest in the series thus far.

I was pretty disappointed in this one. I didn't care about the characters much as we didn't really get to know them. I know that D is supposed to be a cool bad ass but in this one he was so cold I ended up not caring much about what happened. Still, it was a fun read.
