Dear Justin: We get the religious reference. Really, we do. But thanks for providing a summation of The Passage in a handy Biblical format at the beginning of The Twelve. I only partially appreciated it, however, as it reminded me of all the things I found annoying, particularly the ending. But, h...
3.5 stars for an engaging and enjoyable read. It's unavoidable to compare the second book in the series with the first, which had the advantage of introducing us to new characters and a new world. The continuation cleverly allowed readers to play with characters and settings from both time periods...

I received this book as a Christmas present and started reading it without really knowing what it was about, apart from a vague idea that it might have something to do with vampires. I was hoping for an epic adventure, and I definitely got it! Without revealing too much of the plot, it is sort of a...
'The Passage' was a summer blockbuster. It overflowed with civilization-ending outbreak, prepping, vampires, and zombies; the author's literary background supported the ambition of the story's time-line, and there was immediate talk about a film franchise. All of that and immensely readable, too!'Th...
