As for Knight's series, it's just too nihilistic and fucking doomed for me to really get into, and that's said as a staunch fan of post-apocalyptic fiction. Humanity's screwed, they just keep getting more screwed with each book, and to top it all off the Main character's a massive idiot/hypocrite.

Legion of the damned has human-alien interbreeding, which offends my scientific sensibilities, and was fairly prdictable after 3 books. I just lost interest.

Anyway, you like a series where the protagonist is psychic, has hard evidence of the fact that vampires are slavering mass-murderers, and still continues to buy the whole, "misunderstood angsty dark angels" line. Don't judge me!
