Looking for your next hot vampire read?
I found the setting
amusing – somehow the whole vampires hanging out in the ‘fun in the sun with
the rich and infamous’ seems a bit incongruous. The author made it work.
In some ways this made
me think of The Vampire Shrink by Lynda Hilburn. Raphael had the same feeling
of ‘spooky cool’ that Devereux does. And his relationship with the heroine,
Cyn, bubbles with the same intensity. Also, the politics of being the vampire
Master swirl with murky shadows, ruthless power games, and death in the same
way.
Cyn’s a great
character. If she’d been locked in a tower she’d have cut off her OWN hair and
climbed down – then gone looking for the witch.
Possible Spoiler:
This is the only book
I’ve read in this series so I may be wrong but I have a feeling that the
relationship between Raphael and Cyn is going to be the series arc because the
situation is not resolved at the end of this one. The book plot has closure but
the romance plot does not. It did give me enough that I will read the next one…
