Now the action really starts.

Volume 7 is where things really get interesting. Everything before this was just a warm up. For the bead. You don't know about the bead? Hey, you have not lived until you understand the bead. The bead is LIFE. Well, somebody thinks so, because people are willing to kill for the bead from the North Sea. And now D has it. Action, adventures, wet Nobles, lots of salt water. I'm not trying to be funny, I just don't want to drop any spoilers on the first part of two parter. That's right, we end with a cliffhanger that makes other cliffhangers look like bumps in the ground.

refreshing

This book was refreshing, there were a lot of elements, characters involved. D finally gets pushed around and tricked and even dies, again. But man, that left hand is great, I can't wait to see if the future books will give us a flash back book about when D was a bit younger and how he met up w/ Lefty. Most likely, I feel like Dracula left Lefty just for D and for D's purpose (to finish off the Nobility, and I feel that Dracula doesn't actually have a blood lust/thurst, and he's dissapointed @ his creations because he probably expected something else.) I think he is now in the process of creating new life forms w/out blood lust and D's job is to clean up his messes. Just a few words for thought. this was a great read. Movie....I don't know....mini series....ohhh yeah.....

Great ending to the first part; D gets more personality than ever before

This is the eighth book in the Vampire Hunter D series by Hideyuki Kikuchi. This book picks up right where the last book left off; in the middle of a fight. D struggles (as much as he ever struggles) to protect the pearl from the evil people that plot to steal it from him. He also is protecting Win-Lu from all of the people going after the pearl. There are numerous battle and even more evil-doers than ever before. You finally find out what the pearl is and why it is so important. As I mentioned when reviewing part 1; this book is somewhat different from the other books in the Vampire Hunter D series in that D is more "human" than ever before. D shows emotion and shows that he has faults like everyone else. Win-Lu is a strong character with a dry sense of humor that makes the book fun. You get to spend a lot more time with D's left hand and his hand also has a sense of wit to rival Win-Lu's. This was a great book with non-stop action. You are actually left wondering at points if D will give up his wandering for a bit and make this town a temporary home. This book gives some nostalgic insight into how things were with the nobility before disaster struck. Of course more mystery is presented regarding who, and what, D is. Some hints are given as to D's origin but nothing is answered for sure. I look forward to the next book in the series. Although there is a long way to go in this series. I read somewhere that in Japan book 18 was just released. Good thing I like these books because it looks like I will have a lengthy relationship with them :-) http://karissabooks.blogspot.com/

My Review for both the 7th and 8th Novels

This story is quit complex and I can see why this is a maybe for the next Vampire Hunter D movie. It wasn't your usually Vampire Hunter D story, where the girl falls for D and seem to suffer from "Oh save me baby" sysdrome. The main girl in this story isn't your perfect beauty either. She seem to have very muscluar body, not perfect body. The story has many characters, and one might get confuess whom is whom. Many of a times I confues Glen with D. But at the end all is clear. D travels to fishing village called Florence, where the dying Win-Lu told D to go find her sister Su-In. There, D meets many colorful charcters. That all have plans to go after this one small bead. Yes, the trouble is over a bead. The bad guys, are back stabbing each other while they are trying to get the bead from D, which Su-In trusted him with. I really liked reading this story, because it showed D not perfect, he is a dark hero that gets wounded and makes mistakes. Throughout half the story D fights without his left hand. Yes, in this story, D loses his hand for a while. In this story the left hand becomes the hero and does get kidnapped by the bad guys. As I have said, this story is quit different from the others. There's a lot of twist and turns. I am not going to say much, you'll have to read it for yourself.
