This was a quick read that still manages to give you a great story. I loved the twist halfway through which gave a whole new depth to the read. The attraction between these two is off the charts so be prepared for a steamy read.
If you need some quick loving then I can definitely recommend this book.

However, I found this to be lacking the intimacy of that first novel, or even the tragic pathos of Sturm from the second Dragons of Winter Night; too concerned with Tanis's internal struggles and skipping over a large part of just what happened to Raistlin and how he suddenly becomes so powerful (told in other spin-offs, perhaps?).
Also, and as with Dragons of Winter Night, not all characters survive the story, with one character in particular provided with a fitting farewell.
In short, and as a whole: these books are OK, but nothing remarkable.

Of the three authors, Tchaikovsky is probably the best stylist, McDonald manages to find some humanity and depth in fairly unlikely places, while Gauntlett is the pulpiest. None of them attempt to actually copy Lovecraft's idiosyncratic prose style, which is probably a blessing. None of the stories are genuinely inspired, but they're usually very readable even if they sometimes get a touch bizarre.

Adding to the book, after each story author Sigmund Brouwer shares some thoughts on the theme of the story and the inspiration behind it. These are just as fun as the stories themselves and could almost work as a devotional if they included scriptures. The stories themselves are quick adventures with the characters we love, and fans will be very happy with them.

This is not a romance story, but it is compelling reading! There is murder, an obsessed crazy woman, journalists, and of course, a vampire. All of this is packed into a steamy bundle of fun.
Well-written, fast-paced, and steamy! Definitely recommended.
