I am a big fan of Elrod. This book kept a great pace and had a good twist. Sad there is no more in this series.

hmm. where to start. jonathan begins discovering the full extent of his vampiric powers, and i just have to spend a few lines complimenting ms. elrod on how well she writes a villain. or in this case, two villains-elizabeth's new husband and her new sister in law, who turns out to be her new husband's real wife. we also learn more about jonathan's mother....and why she is the twisted way she is. molly is portrayed well as a pragmatic woman just trying to make a living during hard times, and nash continues to be an annoyance and a comic distraction (faithfully fulfilling his role as a minor character). i know this book is hard to find but if you can find it, it is definitely worth your time. i also recommend the hardcover omnibus edition, jonathan barrett, gentleman vampire, if you can find it (yes, i have it, and no, it is not for sale, not in this lifetime, thank you, no). if you can't find any copies, write the publishers and bug them for a reprint (you never know, it could totally happen). in the meantime, scour my review for the hidden translation of the first chapter (just kidding. no really, don't, cuz there isn't one). keep an eye out for used copies sold over the net....you might even want to check out amazon.com. i don't know, maybe they have a copy or two kicking around somewhere (yes, i know, you are now officially tired of my humour, but that's fine, cuz i'm done anyway).
