Review

“When it comes to combining extreme sensuality with dangerous drama, no one does it better than Squires.”—Romantic Times BOOKreviews


Product Description

Jane Blundell’s keen intellect and wit have always set her apart from her marriage-minded peers. But such differences are nothing compared to the change that comes upon her when she is infected by a blood sample in her father’s laboratory. Suddenly, her veins resonate with a terrifying, exhilarating power. Dr. Blundell takes Jane to the Scottish highlands where she collides with the only man who can understand her hunger—and slake her unending desire…
 
Callan Kilkenny has returned to England from Marrakech, still filled with self-loathing at the deeds he committed in the name of a beautiful, depraved vampire. Now that he has tracked down Dr. Blundell in hopes of a cure he has also found a kindred spirit in Jane. Her passion and her blood calls to Callan, fueling a carnal need that shocks them both with its intensity. But others have come in search of the cure, too…for reasons that are sinister and deadly. And to save Jane and the rest of their kind, Callan must risk everything—even his last chance at redemption…

4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed the book, May 9, 2007
By YH "Mouse" (Irvine, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
Contrary to the other reviewers, I thought her writing has improved. I read all her earlier books, and I thought her new books are more erotic than her old ones. I understand some people may not like the main male character as a victim. I, however, feel it's a refreshing plot line. There were already too many books placed women as the victims and men as the heroes. Personally, I do not think men need to be strong all the time. I don't think it is realistic nor believable. (And I feel tense and sorry for them.) As genders roles become more equal, I think more writers would experiment with new roles for their characters, and I feel it's a good thing. Furthermore, if you read Susan Squire's books from the beginning, you would realize that she has not changed the kind of characters she wrote much. Therefore, if you enjoyed her first few books, I don't understand why can't you enjoy this one more.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's A Rough Ride, But Worth It, May 2, 2007
By C. Farley "seafaire" (Bakersfield, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Having read all the other books by this author, previously I had not enjoyed the way she twisted the vampire mythos into a parasitic disease. It seemed too creepy. However, this time around, it works perfectly as a true "friend" able to be called upon for assistance when needed. This is a deep story of two individuals forced to grow emotionally and face unspeakable enemies, terrible sacrifices and finally growing into a loving,trusting and powerful unit. The sensuality is intense and in some areas the BDSM creates a pitiful portrait of sacrifice. Definitly not for the faint of heart, but the "wounded hero" archetype is a long standing favorite of romance readers. Highly recommended, but not a quick or comfortable read--the intensity resembles literary fiction

5.0 out of 5 stars One with the Night , August 24, 2008
Jane Blundell inadvertently became a vampire when she came in contact with contaminated vampire blood. In an effort to find a cure for her affliction, her father, a respected obstetrician and a member of English's elite, flees to the Irish countryside with her and sets up a discreet lab. Jane tries to be the son her father never had, devoting herself to the sciences while maintaining the household on her own. But her father rarely recognizes her intelligence and secretly she dreams of wearing the fashionable gowns the ladies wear instead of her bland wardrobe. The arrival of other vampires gives her hope. Perhaps they will teach her what she needs to know of her condition.

Having read Dr. Blundell's article on vampirism, Callan Kilkenny sets out to find the scientist in the hopes Dr. Blundell may have discovered a cure. He nearly arrives too late. Some of the "born" vampires (as opposed to being a "made" vampire as Callan is) are desperate to prevent a cure from being found. In the course of rescuing the scientist from the other vampires, he meets our intriguing heroine, Jane. Callan is immediately drawn to the naïve young woman, yet he is torn between succumbing to his need for her and wondering if it is just his vampiric nature that makes him crave her. Is Callan a criminal and murderer as the other vampires say, or a man who is trying to reconcile his forced past with a new and free future?

Be warned. The villains are deliciously evil and sometimes sublime in their cruelties. Can Jane's dispassionate father who neglects his daughter and tortures Callan with his poisonous experimental concoctions be considered evil? How about the vampires who want to destroy the cure? Are they malicious or just protecting the knowledge from those who would use it to harm others? The delicate Miss Elyta Zaroff and her entourage, the four hundred-year-old vampire Clara and equally aged Brother Flavio, claim they are there on the bequest of Mirso Monastery, to guard the cure. But the vampires at Mirso Monastery are known for eradicating made vampires. Why do they want the cure?

Susan Squires presents an interesting version of vampire legend in One With The Night. This is a well-written, adequately paced novel set in the early 1800s. At times, the hero's dialogue, written in the local brogue, is jarring, slowing the reader's progress. The various tortures including piercings, whippings, and forced sex may make a timid reader blanch. Several cameo appearances by the Loch Ness monsters (yes, that's multiple monsters) unexpectedly liven up the tale. Provocative love scenes, a scientist who reminds one of a barely civilized Dr. Frankenstein, a heroine who wars with duty and matters of the heart, a sexy honorable hero, and hedonistic vampires make for one unique story.
