D at his worst....Kikuchi at his best!

This book stands out from all the others. I enjoy this series immensly, I've really become a die-heard D fan over the past year...but there is just something about this book that sets it apart from the others. It's darker, it's colder, its more raw. The other books tend to tell a darkly poetic vampire story, and this one does the same but it's interlaced with amazing action, vivid sci-fi elements and harsh cruelity. It seems like everyone in this book is heartless and cruel...but the worst is D. He's never been a particarlly kind character, he's always been cold and detached...but for some reason in this book he's worse than ever before. I still cannot belive how this book ended....that was just to cruel, even for D. He cannot always be the hero I guess. All in all this book just amazes me...like every other book in this series it is not your typical beautiful and immortal vampire book.

Series only gets better

i have enjoyed all of the Vampire Hunter books. So when I read this one it was only natural that I couldn't put it down. I was even late coming back from break a couple of times.
So I say that you have to read this book, because of the imagintaion that went into creating the world that it takes place in.

good book

good book, can't wait for all the books to be translated, D is cold, you get a great example @ the end.

weaker book in the series

Not as good as some of the other titles in the series but still worth reading.

In Sakuri, a young woman is about to be sacrificed to the vampiric Noblewoman who reigns over the village. But before the princess can drain the life from the woman, a young man tries to slay the vampire. He fails and manages to escape, but in doing so incurs the wrath of the entire town. The citizens of Sakuri have entered into a pact with the Undead princess and her monstrous bodyguards. With the ritual offering disrupted, the vampire's armored bodyguards vow to murder the villagers one by one until the would-be hero is captured. When Vampire Hunter D learns of the villagers' bargain he knows he faces several almost impossible challenges - can he rid the town of the parasitic demons that plague it? What if Sakuri's inhabitants don't want to be rescued? And can he uncover the secret that even the vampire Noble is afraid to speak?
