The Year of Disappearances

This is book two in Susan Hubbard's "ethical vampire" series, and it was okay. I like the third book better. It's really my own fault, I read the third one (The Season of Risks), then the first one (The Society of S), then this one, all within a few months, and I think I just overdosed on ethical vampires.

This novel did answer some questions for me that were raised by reading the third book first, like how Ari came to go to college so young, and what the heck was going on with those crazy Nebulists. But the plot line just wasn't as engaging for me as The Season of Risks was. But I do like how Hubbard shows the characters developing, particularly Ari, and I look forward to reading more of her novels in the future.

I do this to myself too much - I read a novel by an author that I like, and then I go and get everything else s/he has written, and it's like eating too much chocolate - nice, but just too much. I need to pace myself.
