Vampire Memories 5: Ghosts of Memories
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Knew something had to change with this book since it was supposedly the end of the series. Julian's death would certainly fit that bill. Ivory was an interesting find, but Christian almost struck me as being worse than Julian. His only saving grace in that rating is that he wasn't actively hunting down all of his own kind... just Phillip and Wayde since they were directly in the path of what he wanted. Rather disappointed that the group didn't put it all together until they all nearly died as a result given they knew his powers and personality after Elisha seeing Christian's memories and Wayde seeing Ivory's. Too little too late I guess. Certainly seemed to apply here. Overall very anticlimactic for the ending.

Vampire Memories 4: In Memories We Fear
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I actually felt this was one of the better books in the series. Previously I felt like I was sort of on the fence with what I thought about it and I wasn't as drawn to the characters from this series as from The Noble Dead. Now I can honestly say that I enjoy the series and am looking forward to the next book. Hendee does a wonderful job refreshing the scene and bringing reader's up to speed while still moving ahead with the story and developing the character's depth. While I'm still a little disappointed in the Wade vs. Philip scene, and honestly can't say myself why just yet, I like the new facets Maxim brings in to play and Philip's new outlook since the end of this installment. There's some new options with Mary now as well that I'm curious to see in the works. Really hoping it just keeps getting better from here.

Vampire Memories 3: Memories of Envy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
More about Phillip and Simone than any of the other characters. Not as much Wade as I would have liked and Eleisha comes of weaker than ever. A little disappointing, but picks up a bit towards the middle of the book. Interested to see if they do anything interesting with Julian's involvement in the next one.
