Caleb Roehrig

Now THAT'S a good vampire book. Roehrig writes a great blend of shadowy forces, humor, and lovable characters, all set in a magically charged town reminiscent of Scooby-Doo's Coolsville. The last book I read of Roehrig's was "White Rabbit" and his writing growth is clear: the prose is much more mature and fully realized, and totally enjoyable to read. My only big complaint is that there are a LOT of scenes where characters just sit down and have info-dump-y conversations, which drags the pace of the book down. Even though what is being said is well-said, there is still a lot of room for trimming this down and providing more dynamic moments instead of just chit chat. But all in all, lots of fun to read- I would definitely recommend "The Fell of Dark" if you want a solid YA vampire adventure!… (altro)
