Just wow. I'm not going to say much other than o really enjoy this. I had a very hard time putting this down. All I would've asked for was more dimension on Ian. Other than that, look for my friend The Holy Terror, she says it better than I.

I don't do actual reviews for the books I haven't read: this is just a brief explanation about why I gave up on this, just past the first two chapters.Raylene is an absolute bore.The book is written in first-person and in these first chapters there are so few spoken parts that I feel like I'm readin...

This is not bad or anything. I'm sure many other people will like this. Personally though, I didn't find the main character interesting or compelling and while the premise was intriguing the plot lacked the pacing necessary to keep my attention.

I had a complete blast.The only thing I wanted was more on how vampire so...

When she's asked to recover some government documents, she hesitates because the client is a vamp. A blind one.She reluctantly agrees, and finds herself mired in more trouble a...

Cherie Priest has created a very human vampire. Raylene may be stronger and faster than a normal human, but she isn't smarter or sexier. Becoming undead cures your health problems -- including, in this case, allergies -- but it doesn't change your personality or give you super powers. Raylene lies t...
