The Night Eternal

The Night Eternal - Chuck Hogan, Guillermo del Toro The Night Eternal is the final installment in the vampire trilogy by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. I have been anxiously awaiting the last book and I was not disappointed. The series as a whole is definitely worth a read. I listened to all of the books, narrated by Daniel Oreskes. I think the audio books made them more exciting for me.

It is now two years later and the vampires rule the earth. A lot has changed and hope seems to be gone. Everyone is malnourished, stressed and over tired. Can they save the world? You learn a lot more about the vampires and the Master in this installment. I liked the mythology behind them. The biblical tie-ins were interesting and a unique take on the origin.

I have read varying reviews that range from a great ending to a so-so ending. Personally, I loved how it ended. I thought everything was as it should be. The thing that I liked the most is that nobody was safe and anyone could go at any moment. (Not a spoiler, because I won't tell you who...) It wasn't wrapped up in a nice neat package. The ending was messy and filled with uncertainty. While I normally like my HEA's, I walked away feeling satisfied.

I definitely recommend this one and the series as a whole.. Full of action and suspense and nasty vampires, I hope you loved it as much as I did. I do hope if they make a movie, that they do 3 separate ones. I would hate to see anything left out.
