Review: Choice of the Cat
Choice of the Cat is the second novel in E. E. Knight’s The Vampire Earth series, and continues David Valentine’s saga.
E. E. Knight does a good job of avoiding the sophomore slump, and instead piles on the grim action even more fast and furious than in the first installment.
If you like dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic nightmares, and vampires, The Vampire Earth series is well worth picking up.
