Books like Tide of Terror

when you expect too much you're often disappointed, as i was for most of the book. the second book of the vampirates series was .... nice.if i wanted to make it into three parts they'd be these: the academy, Grace's moral dilemmas , cool piratey or vampiratey stuff.first of all the academy....oh so boring. nothing cool or even interesting about that, and i really hope the writer has some great ideas about Grace's spiritual experiences (the cover was cool though).the second part, Grace's moral dilemmas, i mean how old is she? how can she feel responsible for and worried about her brother and Lorcan at the same time? it was pretty obvious from the very beginning that either one of the twins should go on with their own journey, why do they have aaaall these grown up emotions and at the same time want to stick with each other like a couple of kids?? a little drama maybe , but this much?? the third part, obviously my favorite part was very good, i really liked the evil Sidorio ^ ^though there's also one tiny little problem with this part, the awakening of Jez, or as they put it "the crossing" was sooo lame, i mean, they're vampires for Pete's sake, no blood shed nothing? there should at least have been something bloodier , scarier, cooler :/i know for a fact that the third book is amazing, i hope this book is the only one in the series that'd disappoint me ^ ^
