A thrilling read

"This book begins with a significant development! Do not read further if you are worried about being spoiled! Short review: The book is fun and worth a read. (I pinched this sentence from Bookgeeks as I couldn’t have worded it better myself.)
The fifth book in the infamous Vampirates series is a fast-paced story moving swiftly on from Lady Lola’s beheading by her step-son, Connor, to see her up and about again, ready to cause more aggravation for the twins. Grace and Connor, still trying to come to terms with the fact that they are half-vampire, take on a dangerous mission and are forced to decide where their true loyalties lie. Stuckley and Johnny have more of a leading role in this novel and there’s at least one surprise death.
Somper’s talent for horror writing is ever more apparent in this part of the series, with one particularly gruesome scene. This is not unexpected, as vampires are blood-eaters after all, a fact that was not made obvious at first.
If you haven’t read the other books in the series then do so, immediately, then read book 5 and quickly! I don’t feel this can be read as a stand-alone due to the need to know the character’s history. A fantastic part in a brilliant series."
