New way to say "Vampire" |
Someone recommended this series to me as I was looking for something new to read. I read the reviews and said why not? Well, I am so glad I ordered this book as it is a new twist on the "vampire romance". Love the plot and the heros are to "die" for! Dante is well, every vampire romance junkies dream with his long black hair and warrior body...yum! And Abby is a good mate to him..
Can't wait to read Viper's book, he is my kind of vamp.
You will not be unhappy with this series, pick it up and enjoy. I did! |

It carried me along, just didn't 'WOW' me |
Okay, I finished the book so that says something. The story was just okay, and the characters were good, not great...but it didn't make me want to read the rest of the series.
It felt a little, predictable, and a little corny. The book didn't make me laugh out loud or cry or cheer on the main characters. It was just okay. There was nothing incredibly unique or fascinating.
Perhaps because I just didn't connect enough with either the characters or the story? Or maybe it was the style of writing?

Enjoyable |
Dante was too much like every other vampire. Abby was too much like every other romance female with little to distinguish her except at the end.
On a scale 1 to 5, Five is Best:
Villian: 3.5
Plot: 3.5
Creativity: 3
Uniqueness: 3
Humor: 2
Bringing the sexy: 3
Passion: 3 stars
Laughs & Amusement factor: 1
Silly Whiners female character who get on your nerves: 3.5

Well........ |
....I must first admit I have always been a historical Romance reader, until I recently read Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, and loved it so much, that I thought I would try other Romance novels with Vampires.
Well, so far, no luck for me. I will say the love scenes are really steamy and fun, right up my alley....but it was not enough to carry me thru this book with the rest of what goes on. I think I will stick to what I know and love. |

This is a great book |
This book is amazing. Is a "dark" story, with vampires, witches and what-not, but it also has a nice sense of humor and irony, coming from the mouths of the two main characters, Abby and Dante. I also like Viper, a very prominent secondary character (who's going to be the main character of the following book, yay!), who's a dark and powerful vampire.
The plot is a nice inventive, which I very much liked because it's very good and well-written, and I found it refreshing and new. And also the pasion between the two main characters is scorching!!! |
