Another evil and mysterious vampirate ship appears and joins forces with Sidorio's ship killing islanders to gain strength. After they attack the Pirate Academy, the Federation declares war on all vampirates.
Grace gets to know her mother better, while Connor, who is distressed to find that he has more of a connection to the Nocturne than he'd like, joins Chen Li's crew.

I loved this book. I like the race, and how they are competitive and how they all try to win. I hate how Lola kills the Headmaster, and gives them his body. I like how the pirates are determined to kill those Vampirates. I like how Grace gets to meet her mother. I love that they take Sally back to their hometown. I really like how Sally heals when they go back. I like how she is able to rejoin the twin’s father. I hate how Sidorio and Lola meet and how they go around causing destruction wherever they go. I like how the pirates try to kill Lola, and I hate how she comes back.

This series gets better with each book. Granted, this was slightly darker than the previous three books, but lots of new information comes to light in this book.
I can hardly wait to see what's' next for Connor, Grace and the rest!

This could be a difficult review to write as there are sooooo many plot OMG's abounding throughout the book. Suffice to say that it's really intriguing with plenty of eye-popping developments.
I felt a little behind the story curve since I had to skip book 3, BLOOD CAPTAIN, as I am waiting for it to make its way up my wishlist on RecordedBooks. I couldn't wait to listen to BLACK HEART...and I am running low on audiobooks....so I did my best. I still enjoyed the story as it's vampirates and a fab story and Daniel Philpott is a narrating phenom.
Plenty of action, adventure on the high seas, vampirates, regular pirates...
Connor and Grace just get back together and are now torn apart again, by choice this time. Each twin has to accomplish their own journey in their way. Each has chosen sides, Grace with the vampirate ship, the Nocturne, she started with and Connor with Captain Cheng Li's new ship, the Tiger.
There's a new vampirate threat and it's not who the rest of the pirating world thinks it is. Lady Lola is the 'new' ship on the block and she is biting first and not really hanging around to ask questions later.
And I think that's about all I can say without giving away plot points. And now I wait for EMPIRE OF NIGHT: VAMPIRATES #5 due out in Aug 2010. OH! I still have BLOOD CAPTAIN to look forward to. Well YaY!!
Five bloody adventure on the high seas beans....

This was such a shocking book! The mystery of the Tempast twins parentage was just utterly shocking and I cannot believe that Mr Somper actually went there! I love how he tackles the story of both past and the present and how each revelation effects both Connor and Grace and how they reacted differently. Which left me utterly shocked at the end, especially with the relationships that occurred and developed.

Once again, I find myself indulging in this haphazard story. I find the new additions to the book amazing, and the return of others heartwarming. Hooray!

Connor and Grace are finally able to meet their mother and find the truth about their birth. While Grace wants to learn more, Connor can't accept any of it. And when Siderio is joined by Lady Lola, a vampire as bloodthirsty as he is, the Pirate Federation takes notice and create a squad to deal with the Vampirates lead by Captain Li. Connor is on the squad too, but his loyalties are divided knowing how much Grace cares for some of the Vampirates. And when the truth about Grace and Connor reaches Siderio's ears, they need to take action fast especially to not also get used by the Pirate Federation.
This series is keeping on the edge from page one. I need to know how the story continues ASAP.
