The Third Section (The Danilov Quintet: Book 3)

That being said, there was a lot of character development in this novel.  Of course, as with any Vampire book, we know the story, they are cold, calculating charming beings that live in darkness and drink blood.  Those are Vampires, and as often as the story progresses, it is a bit hard to take them seriously anymore.  However, they have the allure that will never … Continue reading The Third Section (The Danilov Quintet: Book 3)

Royal Blood (A Vampire Kisses Novel: Book 6)

Great book.  I realized something as I reading this book.  It’s a lot like Twilight except for a few minor things: it has a plot, wit, good writing, character depth, character development, a great dynamic, realistic characters, making them more 3 dimensional rather than 2 dimensional.  Hmm, I guess it’s nothing like Twilight huh.  Sorry Twilight fans!  I prefer Vampire Kisses to Twilight any day.  … Continue reading Royal Blood (A Vampire Kisses Novel: Book 6)

The Coffin Club (A Vampire Kisses Novel)

Enticing, exhilarating and full of such thrills!  This was such a completely enjoyable book.  I loved it and I loved the twists and turns that it took.  Raven is such a great character.  She’s a Goth but she’s not stereotypical.  I loved that fact alone.  She’s someone that anyone can look up to.  Her character is all about being herself, despite what other people want.  … Continue reading The Coffin Club (A Vampire Kisses Novel)
