Cliff’s Descent

Spoiler Alert: This is book 11 of the series. If you haven’t read the previous novels, there may be spoilers for events in those books.

Cliff, a vampire who didn’t want to hurt people, turned himself in to the immortal guardians when he was offered the choice. Unfortunately for him, the hunt for a cure from the vampiric virus is taking longer than he can manage to stave off the madness and as he grows closer to Emma, the woman he is slowly falling in love with, he has even more of a reason to live. Will he be saved, or will the madness drive him completely insane?

Cliff’s Descent by Dianne Duvall is just as fun as the rest of the immortal guardian series. I am very excited to finally have a novel dedicated for Cliff especially since he has always been such a beloved character for me throughout the series. It was about time he got a little happiness. If you are a fellow fan of Cliff, then I think you will find it very interesting to see how the madness he suffers is portrayed. I think Duvall does a good job immersing the reader in his mental struggles as he is constantly fighting against it.

Duvall is an excellent writer and this book is no exception. Her writing style is so smooth and easy that the pages just fly by. It is also a nice quick read as it is under the three hundred page mark. If you are hoping for something fun, easy, and quick to read this book will definitely fit your needs while still having the same amount of depth to it’s world and the characters.

Of course, the characters are another highlight of this novel. If you enjoy the characters in this series, many of the main characters return yet again in this novel to interact with Cliff and help him in his journey as a vampire. We are also introduced to Emma and some of her friends who all add to the story and the romance between her and Cliff. I definitely feel that Emma is a nice compliment to our honorable vampire. Duvall did a great job creating a woman who could be there for Cliff even during his darkest moments.
