1.0 out of 5 stars My five year old has better writting skills..., June 22, 2005

This book was the worst written piece of tripe I have ever had the displeasure of reading. I love vampire books, but this had plot holes big enough to drive a Mac truck through. The character depth was as shallow as a puddle. I would recommend this book to anyone who had a fascination with torturing themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, enjoyable., November 19, 1997

By A Customer

Again, very well written. I wondered if the other book were a fluke (On a Darkling Main), but this also proved a pleasant surprise. If anything, it was better than its predecessor. The character development was stronger and the plot remained good. SUMMARY: Zane's lover is brutally murdered. To find out what is behind the whole thing, he hooks up with a bored vampire elder . His story intrigues Sartak and he agrees to help. They find out that Rose was a doppleganger of a powerful psychotic and all of her "sisters" aren't dead. The hunter turns out to be a human psychiatrist / psychic that has power over the Prince of Tampa. Some of the characters return from On a Darkling Main to be shown in a different light. Very enjoyable.

I have read many, many WoD novels. This book does have some holes, but that is actually what makes it more enjoyable to read. It's different from a lot of the humdrum, "this guy sired this guy who sired this guy..."

We are introduced to a character who is an elder and who wanders around with no strings. This totally flies in the face of everyday vampire world fiction of strict classes and clan ties. It is refreshing and sometimes quite surprising.
Also, the fact that I actually in Tampa, FL (Seffner 4-life BABY!!!), allows me to say with some certainty that the author has portrayed Tampa in a very realistic and entertaining light.

Great read.
