This is the ongoing tale of vampires in America. Volume 2 sticks moves on to the next step in the Wild West theme as modernization hits the West with the rise of Las Vegas and the building of the Boulder (Hoover) Dam. I am really enjoying the historical fiction feel of this vampire story. I think it is really great that I have found many vampire stories in this genre that I have enjoyed (Another example was Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – I thought it would be cheesy, but actually pretty good)...
The setting for Volume 2 moves to Las Vegas where Police Chief Cash McCogan is tasked with the unenviable job of investigating Jim Smoke, the man believed to be behind the murder of his father.I'm legitimately shocked with how much I'm truly enjoying these books. As I said in my review for volume one, my taste for vampires had more than diminished leaving me less than enthusiastic in starting this series.The change in setting prompted a change in story style as well. Snyder took the environment
I don't know why I wasn't crazy about it the first time I read it, but I really enjoyed Snyder's story this time around. This volume deals with Henry and Pearl getting a visit from a vampire hunting group, which leads into several other new storylines that include old and new faces. The plot moved along well and was interesting, and I liked the way the cast is expanding. I enjoyed the way everything sort of jumps around between past and present, and one set of character to another. If it's not d...
Las Vegas police chief Cash McCogan has a murderer to find and all signs point to Jim Smoke, the man who likely was responsible for the death of McCogan's father. Meanwhile, some mystery men approach Pearl with a deal...After the thrill ride that was the first American Vampire volume, I was jonesing for more. While this one wasn't quite what I expected, it more than delivered the goods. I like that Pearl wasn't swept under the rug after the first volume and that the series isn't all about Skinne...
Woo-hoo! Figured I should go ahead and review volume 2!What’s it about?In this second volume of American Vampire, there’s a murder case happening that may involve something related to... VAMPIRES (dun dun dun!)Why it gets 5 stars:The story is very interesting.The art is fantastic!The characters are interesting (characters we saw in volume 1 as well as some new characters).There’s a big mystery thing going in this volume and it’s done well!The horror is well done.There’s some action that is very
Snyder falls into repetition here, and it wears me down. This series still hovers in that twilight between good and bad, for me. It just doesn't move forward enough narratively, for me, just consolidates what we already knew about the characters.I do have better hopes for the following volume, taking place during WWII.Read with the ever delightful Kadi vamPire!
"Devil in the Sand" is set in, an emerging from the Great Depression, 1936 Las Vegas, sowing the seeds of its future decadence and drudgery. Felicia is all grown up and alongside her mother and other allies, is essentially a vampire-hunter, and although Skinner's there, it's not him they are after! The Las Vegas backstory proves to the most interesting part of this volume. The 2-part "The Way Out" catches-up with Pearl and Henry in 1936 California. 6 out of 12
This was another great one!This takes place in 1970s Vegas aka Sin city and with such strange murders its upto Cash McCgowan aka the police officer in charge there to team up with two FBI agents (whose identity we learn later) to hunt down the person whose been responsible for deaths of high profile targets. And how Skinner sweet gets involved is quite fun and also they find a way to include Pearl and it harkens back to Vol 1 and its awesome. Plus the big twist of who it is and when things get t...
This is an improvement on the first volume, in that the emphasis is less on Skinner Sweet and more on the world-building of the series. Interesting foundations are being built here, along with a larger cast of characters for us to interact with. We are also introduced to new types of vampires, to vampire killers (in the form of the Vassals of the Morning Star - great name for a secret society dedicated to vampire hunting), and to a developing American society distancing itself from its European
American Vampire continues to be entertaining. I'm glad I gave this series another try. So this volume is two stories. The first one really focuses on building the world of American Vampire. We get a little town sheriff trying to solve a murder but soon as FBI agents come into play his world explodes with all new threats, VAMPIRES. Who's the main enemy of the town? Well none other than Skinner himself. A glimpse of what Pearl has been up to as well in this storyline of justice and death. The two...
This series keeps getting better and better. That cliffhanger at the end! Dang!
