2.0 out of 5 stars
What happened?, July 5, 2007
This review is from: Tempted in the Night (Night Slayer, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed the first book, Out of the Night, the second book Seduced by the Night was fairly good, but this book was third rate at best. I couldn't get into the characters. The plot was stupid. It just seemed to be thrown together. The author had to find a way to incorporate Detective John Boehler into being a Night Slayer by having him turned in the middle of the book. The man is now half human half vampire and he doesn't seem upset about it or have any plausible reaction to it. It was hurried and lacked action or suspense. The love story was pathetic. I did not care for this book at all. I don't know that I would invest in her next book. The series has lost most of it's earlier appeal. The first book was fresh, inventive, and had plenty of surprises and twists and turns. This last book was difficult to get through.

4.0 out of 5 stars
exciting paranormal romance, December 31, 2006
This review is from: Tempted in the Night (Night Slayer, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Winslow family has been vampire slayers for centuries and knows how vampires are created. When a human is bitten by the legendary Chupacabra, the venom from the bite kills the victim and brings him back to life as a vampire. When there is not enough venom in the animal's bite the human becomes a half vampire or changeling with all the advantages of a vampire and very few of the disadvantages. When Jessica Winslow is chasing a vampire in the park she is stopped by Detective John Boehler who thinks she is crazy carrying a sword and intending to use it. He locks her up but before he can get some information from her, Simon Brody, who walked away a free man from a murder trial, is found killed in the park with John's badge near him. Because of the threats he made against Simon, John is suspended. He frees Jessica and takes her to his cousin's home where he admits that he knows the rash of killings of criminals is the work of the vampire. He wants to help them in their fight but first they must stake Simon before he turns; and kills indiscriminately just like he did in life. They fail and he develops an obsession for Jessica, a notion that fills John with fear because he cares deeply for her. When she goes to New Orleans to investigate a house filled with chupacabra, John follows her as does Simon. Robin T. Popp has written an exciting paranormal romance that is full of romance, action, and adventure. The way vampires are created adds another dimension to the vampiric legend and gives readers something new to sink their teeth into. The heroine is stubborn as is the hero and together they make a great pair as they fight evil. Harriet Klausner

disappointed, December 26, 2007
This review is from: Tempted in the Night (Night Slayer, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I liked the first two books in this series, but I could not get into this one. I could not stand the heroine. The character was whinny, shallow, and immature. I still cannot understand what the hero saw in her. What could he have possibly desired? Every simple request he asked of her, she went against with no remorse or apologies. Even when her actions could have caused some one's death. I still think the first book was the best with characters that were more well-rounded in an exotic local. This book had none of those qualities.
