Editorial Reviews

Review

"4 Stars! Miss Bedwell-Grime has obviously thought long and hard about what it might be like to be a young, female vampire in North America. The result is an inventive and sympathetic picture of a torn young woman, her heart-breaking despair and self-loathing, and her refusal to give up her respect and love for all life." -- Word Museum

Product Description

A young woman wakes up in a strange bed. Her clothes are in shreds, the sheets drenched with blood. Her last memory is of a brutal attack in a deserted subway station. Fighting to stay conscious, she gingerly probes her neck to find two puncture marks. She is held captive in an underground vault by the vampire, Valdemar. To her horror, she discovers he has no intention of freeing her. As Melinda soon finds out, there are greater horrors than Valdemar in the world of the night. . .

Ok, despite my disappointment in the first "book," Dark Desire, I decided to give this book a try and see if a longer story lived up to the potential of the short one. Unfortunately, this was not the case. While the plot and general arc of the story were ok, if a little rambling, the character development was inconsistent. It seemed like she couldn't decide if the heroine was going to be a strong independent woman or whiny and in need of a saviour. And she couldn't decide if the hero was going to be cold and uncaring or a white knight -- at one point I wasn't sure she knew who the hero was going to be at all. I also think it might have been easier to follow if the perspective had remained with one character at a time, but it seemed to go back and forth, sometimes even within a paragraph, as if she was trying to tell everyone's perspective at once. The result being that at times you didn't feel like you got a complete picture of any one character. The love story between the main characters also never really seemed to get off the ground and even the resolution seemed a bit half-hearted (no pun intended!). I'd say save your time and money and move on.

Melinda wakes finding herself in Valedemar's lair under the subway. She fights her human instincts as her body changes. She is told she is dead to all who knew her. Valdemar had saved her from death after one of his vampire friends had taken too much blood and gave her his blood to change her into a vampire. She's angry with him for making her a vampire, but needs him to survive. This book was a fascinating read.
