In the sequel to her acclaimed novel The Sanguinist's Daughter (formerly titled The Society of S), Susan Hubbard continues the adventures of Ariella Montero, who, in the midst of the ongoing presidential campaign, discovers that a leading contender for America's top political office just happens to be a vampire surrounded by the demons of lying, cheating, and murder. The Year of Disappearances traces Ariella Montero's fourteenth year, during which she is accused of lying, cheating, and murder (twice). Her education continues, but instead of literature, science, and math, she learns folklore, the art and craft of journalism, and most important, the nature of personal demons. The book's themes involve masks and the duality of the self, the evil of hypocrisy, and the perpetual conflict between the desires of the flesh and those of the spirit. As Ari comes to question her own authenticity, listeners may begin to question her. Could the accusations against her be justified? Is she a reliable narrator? Or is someone else at work, telling us her story?
Susan Hubbard’s “smooth supernatural thriller” (Publishers Weekly) continues the most surprising vampire story you’ll ever read. New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris likens Hubbard’s “mysterious and well-written” novels to Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga, whose fans “pump new blood into Hubbard’s series” (Florida Today). “Fans of Stephenie Meyer, I have a new author for you who is even better. meet Susan Hubbard,” proclaims the Poisoned Pen newsletter from the Poisoned Pen mystery bookstore.
REVIEWS
"Wonderful and suspenseful." -- Charlaine Harris, author of All Together Dead
"With a delicate touch, the talented Hubbard manages to merge environmental concerns with a murder mystery, a coming of age tale with a literary vampire twist." -- Tammar Stein, St. Petersburg Times
The Year of Disappearances The Ethical Vampire Series Book 2 eBook Susan Hubbard
This book is sincerely in a league of it's own. It's not a love story, it's not violent and it's not a gore filled blood and bite kind of book! It's the coming of age book for a half mortal half vampire trying to find a place in modern society. VAMPIRES are still secret. There are in fact three different sects of vampires. Where does ARI fit in these societies? Where does she fit in this world?? She is still trying to find out...She is a freak to mortals... AND a freak to VAMPIRES. She was born to a mortal and has a Vampire father. She was raised by her father, home schooled, told that she had to tell people that she had Lupus so that she can be a hermit in her father's house.
In this book she is forced to find herself because she has a knack for befriending people that either go missing, or are found dead...
The Year of Disappearances is a wonderful followup book to The Society of S. BUT if your looking for action packed story lines, this isn't the book for you. It's for the EDUCATED VAMPIRE LOVER looking for a wonderful novel. It's a great break from the norm! I highly recommend it!!!

The Year of Disappearances The Ethical Vampire Series Book 2 eBook Susan Hubbard Reviews
Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.
Quick & Dirty The story centers around the life of a young girl who tries to fit herself into the world of vampires. This vampire book is not very entertaining but simply tolerable.
Opening Sentence Someone is standing in my bedroom doorway, watching me sleep,then watching my eyes open.
The Review
The book is about Ariella Montero, a young girl who tries to fit in her new lifestyle. She has finally discovered that she is a vampire but instead of making things easier they have been more complicated. Around her people are disappearing and the humans can only blame her. She is now on a quest to both flee from the situation but also to discover why they are happening.
Much like the first book this one does not have much of a plot line. The book continues without much of a lead of what might happen next or what the overall point of the book is. Of course there is the mystery with the disappearances but even this seems to be just a minor problem in the confusing book.
The style of writing also changes from the first book. While the first books tries to sound sophisticated and complex, this one sounds more simple. Honestly, this was a good change. The new style makes the book more tolerable and less bland.
One of the most concerning factors of the book however is the age of this girl. In the first book she is merely 13 years old but has the sophistication of an adult. Her boyfriend is 17. This age difference is not that disturbing but by this book her relationship consists of a boy in college while she is a teenager. I can only imagine how old her boyfriend will be next time.
Ariella is the main character. She is now 14 and experiencing many troubles. Her strength though is tremendous as she tries to figure out the reason behind all the disappearances herself.
Sara (Mae) is Ari's mother. Having left Ari at birth she is finally re-acquainted with her daughter. They instantly get along and have a great time living with each other after being apart for so many years. Having abandoned her daughter as a baby, she is now caring and compassionate towards Ari.
Dashay is a friend of Mae and soon becomes friends with Ari as well. She is extremely friendly and outgoing. Her bubbly nature makes her an extremely likeable character. She is strong in many ways as an independent woman.
Autumn and Misty are two friends of Ari. Now that she is no longer living with her father, Ari has no choice but to find new friends. Although neither girl is someone whom Ari would typically befriend, both girls push to become acquainted with Ari.
This book is a light improvement from the first book of the series. The author has definitely improved when it comes to the actual writing style. It is no longer striving to be sophisticated but describing the life of this young girl. It's not a book that is put at the top of the shelf but certainly readable.
FTC Advisory Simon & Schuster provided me with a copy of The Year of Disappearances. No goody bags, sponsorships, "material connections," or bribes were exchanged for my review.
I really liked this book. It almost made me believe that their really could be vampires among us. It was very interesting to read how it could REALLY be like if vampires were living in our world.
Book was in excellent condition thank u
The book was recommended based on my liking of Vampire Diaries and True Blood. The storyline is good however, the authors writing style I do not prefer. The book is told from the viewpoint of the character, Ariella, who is the child thus the reading tends to go off the storyline from time to time.
I got hooked on Susan Hubbard after i read THE SOCIETY OF S, and this follow up does not disappointed. If you think it's like all the other sappy teen drama vampire crap out there you will be pleasantly surprised. I would recommend reading it with your teenage or adult daughter.
In The Society of S we met a young girl, Ariella Montero, being raised by her brilliant, but most eccentric father. She discovers she is half human, half vampire. What part of her will be the dominant? Time will tell.
These are vampires who get their sustenance from tonics, and blood like flakes they put over their food.
There are also factions of Vampires that differ on this practice.
Ari is now with her mother and she sees a 'harbinger' - a a foreteller of what is to come - one of her father's talents - right after that, a new friend Ari met disappears. Ari is somehow suspected.
And begins Ari's 'coming of age' stage as she starts to experience what it is like to be a vampire in a human world, with feelings and reflects of both species.
Darker and more complex actions are at work in this book, but I will not spoil this - I found it most innovative and a touch of brilliance by Hubbard.
If you enjoyed S you will continue to be fascinated by Disappearances.
What comes for Ari and her family next, I hope Ms. Hubbard is hard at work figuring out.
This book is sincerely in a league of it's own. It's not a love story, it's not violent and it's not a gore filled blood and bite kind of book! It's the coming of age book for a half mortal half vampire trying to find a place in modern society. VAMPIRES are still secret. There are in fact three different sects of vampires. Where does ARI fit in these societies? Where does she fit in this world?? She is still trying to find out...
She is a freak to mortals... AND a freak to VAMPIRES. She was born to a mortal and has a Vampire father. She was raised by her father, home schooled, told that she had to tell people that she had Lupus so that she can be a hermit in her father's house.

The Year of Disappearances is a wonderful followup book to The Society of S. BUT if your looking for action packed story lines, this isn't the book for you. It's for the EDUCATED VAMPIRE LOVER looking for a wonderful novel. It's a great break from the norm! I highly recommend it!!!
