1.0 out of 5 stars
Katie McAllister clone-in a bad way...., June 22, 2007
formulaic and trite-nothing original here.
This is yet another rehashing of the "dumb,vapid, selfish clothing obsessed vampire newbie heroine who somehow attracts the gorgeous, intelligent, brooding ancient male vampire".
Been there, done that( see Katie McAllister, Mary Janice Davidson, etc....). I think we are reaching maximum saturation point with this already silly storyline. Writers-please expand your repertoire or find a different genre. Saddened that a forward thinking series like Bombshell would put out a book with such a "too stupid to live" heroine.
Even the cover is middle school art class bad-what's up with the dude's winged pants-LOL!
super skipworthy-no stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Oh, Darn!, January 22, 2007
I had such high hopes for this trilogy because it started out fresh and fantastic! It completely enthralled me. But sadly, each book became a little less entrancing and I was left saying these dreaded words at the end of Dead Is the New Black, book 3 -,"Gosh, that was a bad book."
Megan the oldest triplets book was very nearly 5 stars with a just a dash of confusion taking away from it. Kat's story, the middle book, was weighed down by more confusion, haste, and a heroine that became incresingly annoying- though it does appear she's calmed down a bit in the final installment.It was solidly a 3 star book. Still expecting great things though, I gave Tash's story a try and the first halve is great. Our heroine is sassy and unique and plagued with real problems that, even though she's turning vamp, we can still relate to. The second half though ,oh jeesh. There's really so much fore shadowing that you see all the twists coming and your still kind of like "Oh, well. Sorry for you but yawn."
I have to say I did not feel repleat and satisfied with the end read. The series had a lot of ambition and pizazz but simply fell short on delivery. I still definitely recommend Dressed to Slay, the first book. But cut your losses on that one and give the other two a miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars
exciting vampire romance, January 14, 2007
As Megan Crosse walked down the aisle accompanied by her triplet sisters Natashya and Katherine, their long lost thought dead grandfather interrupts the nuptials (see DRESSED TO SLAY). Darkheart accompanied by shapeshifter Mikhail Vosteroff, claims his triplet offspring are part of a family of vampire-slayers and are needed right now. He insists one of them is a slayer, another will become a healer, and the third will convert into a vampire. He returned to them because they are in peril from the same creature that killed their mother.
Tash knows that since her two sisters are vampire slayers, she is the one that will convert to the dark side. She feels the beginning of the change so she moves away from Kat and Meg to keep them safe. Dmitri Malkovich comes to kill Tash, but fails. While her siblings want to destroy him either physically or emotionally, Tash knows she needs his help when she infiltrates vampire queen Lady Jasmine's minion to destroy this bloodsucking highness.
This is an exhilarating finish to the delightfully exciting vampire romance trilogy, starring the Crosse triplets (see VAMPAHOLIC). The story line is action-packed yet the key cast members, the female trio and their loved ones seem genuine while the enemy seems arrogantly darkly regal. Fans will enjoy the finish to a terrific miniseries, but will also want more thrillers perhaps more on Darkheart's adventures.
