I have to admit, I decided to review this book because of the title. Vampires and sex, how much more intriguing can you get? Indeed, the book does become as interesting as the title, but unfortunately you have to get through the first couple of chapters of overstuffed inner monologue from the main character for…
As a newbie in regards to Maggie Shayne, I wasn’t sure what to expect. With the explosion of the paranormal market we’re seeing vampires and werewolves and shape shifters galore. Where Ms. Shayne’s latest Wings in the Night book fell in the spectrum of the creepy and undead was mine to discover. Happily, after a…
With a fang-in-neck title like Love Bites, it’s pretty clear that this vampire story is supposed to keep company with some of the more light-hearted vampire books reviewed elsewhere on this site. Unfortunately, the humor is hard to discern, the vampire aesthetic weakened for the sake of convenience, and the hero and heroine hard to…
Undead and Unwed is a riot of a book that, like its heroine, never takes itself seriously and pokes fun at romance, vampire and chick lit clichés. The language is rough, the sex and “almost” sex is a perfect blend of edgy meets funny (and fits the tone of the book), and I haven’t laughed…
There’s something to be said for an author who paints such an erotic image of a woman getting her blood sucked that you find yourself appraising the incisors of every man you meet. But although I enjoyed reading about the Carpathians in Christine Feehan’s Dark Melody, the writing style was problematic enough that any recommendation…
The author dedicates this book to Christine Feehan, and I thought of it as the flip side of the Carpathian universe. I enjoyed this book tremendously until about three-fourths of the way through it. Then the heroine, who had been sarcastic and witty, suddenly became annoying, bordering on TSTL. What a terrible disappointment because, until…
Bunny slaying, bloodletting, and down and dirty sex? What more does a girl need? Though Hunting Midnight wasn’t a memorable romance, it will certainly stick with me for other reasons! Ulric is pack leader of the upyr, a race of unearthly, beautiful vampires who possess magical powers and can shape change into the form of…
I wanted to like Karen Harbaugh’s first single title, but had a hard time warming up to the characters. Circumstances force both protagonists to hide their true identities and to keep secrets, which keeps the reader from getting to know them. Plus I was confused about the heroine’s background, and certain aspects about her nature…
Robin McKinley is already an established fantasy author, retelling some of our favorite childhood tales (Beauty and the Beast and Robin Hood among them) and winning various literary awards in the process. With Sunshine, she delves into the fantastic world of vampires, imbuing it with the skewed sunshine of Chick Lit and creating an unforgettable…
I love sinking my teeth into a great vampire book. Sizemore’s hunky vamps can visit me anytime! Domini Lancer works hard at her grandfather’s private security company. She loves her job and protects her clients very efficiently. Lately, though, her psychic abilities threaten to interfere with her work. Who is the extremely handsome man invading…
