Thanks for the thread, hermetic.

I too am trying to get my head around Japple / Judith being gone.

I picked "Hungerstone" off the new books shelf due to the reviews on the dust jacket. What a disappointment. It is depressing and a downer of a soapy vampire book. The female vampire can walk around during the day (?). It's very talky... little action. Even the couple of lesbian sex scenes are short and not graphic. Gross more than creepy horror. Can't win 'em all.
