I'd forgotten that I actually tried to read this book until I noticed a lot of posts about the author today on GR. I original bought the book while on a trip to the UK. The cover and black-tipped pages caught my eye. The book, physically speaking, is quite beautiful. Too bad the story didn't grab me...
Okay, first note this book is NOT a love story. The book seems to suggest it is but really it isn't. It's a story of obsession, infatuation, and it displays us (humans) in our most cruelest and selfish forms. This book does not belong on the shelf I found it on. It's not the sort of book I read.

A supernatural tale of immortality, revenge, love and destiny, Katsu flips our story back and forth from the past to the future to tell us about a women who's love...
I see a lot of people comparing this book to Interview With The Vampire. That's a fair comparison, in the way the story is told. But I don't see it as a shortcoming. I liked this book. It kept me turning pages, and in the end, that's what it's all about - isn't it? The characters, despite their unre...
I really liked this book. It was a very dark tale but it was well written. The last seven chapters had me absolutely spellbound. I did not want to put it down until it was finished.Character development was fabulous. Adair was the perfect character to hate. He was the perfect evil overlord and ...
