This was a great sequel to Notturno. Donte badly wants to turn Adin but Adin refuses thinking that immortality will lessen his life. The character Bran is brought into the picture confusing everyone as to what exactly young Bran is. A wasting disease hits Donte and it becomes evident that Bran unknowingly can drain a vampire's life force. Poor Adin gets a crash course in the many non-human beings inhabiting earth before being caught in a deception so big that the lives of Donte, Santos and Tuan are endangered.
The characters are developed much more in this book but without the humor found in Notturno. The reader learns more about Edward and Adin's history. If you enjoyed Notturo, you'll love Vigil. I eagerly await the third book in this series due out in 2011. ( )

Yeah... **scratches her head** there will be a sequel to this, right? When and if it comes out, I will add another star.

The second part of The Hours Trilogy, while good, did not live up to the sheer romanticism of part one - [b:Notturno|6564154|Notturno (The Hours Trilogy #1)|Z.A. Maxfield|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1245983162s/6564154.jpg|6757064]. But then, Notturno grabbed me heart and soul...definitely difficult to match!

That doesn't make Vigil a bad book. No, No, No! But it is different. Adin and Donte are still trying to make their relationship work in spite of many ups and downs. And Adin rescues a young teen, Bran, who doesn't know exactly who - or what- he is. This book establishes a transition for Adin and Donte and I'm looking forward to part three! ( )

This is Book Two in The Hours Trilogy. Pretty much what I liked in the first one goes for this installment.

We see the maturing of Adin and an ending I really did not see coming.

I really look forward to the next book! ( )
