I enjoyed Immortal Dark and just when it gets really good, the cliffhanger comes in. I hate when books don't tell you about the cliff hanger up front.  That said, there are lots of shockers and satisfying events/reveals along the way to entertain so I am not completely upset.  

Anyway, I loved the unique take with black vampires and an African ancestry for said vampires.  It's not loud and proud on every page, but the representation is a beautiful thing.  Love the dedication at the beginning too and appreciate it.  I enjoyed the characters and how different everyone was.  There are definitely lots of characters and at times I was confused, but I rolled with it and it all straightened itself out.  Patience grasshopper.  I loved the power struggles, the concept of who vampires drink from, why they drink from certain places and the house/university dynamics.  Book had a lot going on and it was done nicely.   

My only complaint is some dumb decisions made toward the end that didn't really make sense.  Other than that, awesome book that I was so excited to finally read, despite find out about the cliffhanger.  Looking forward to book 2.
