I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn't sure due to it was a little slow moving in the beginning but very quickly it picked up. There were a lot of twists I wasn't expecting and I loved the mystery of it all. I loved the writing and characters and I felt for the "vampires" along with the main character and her family. Overall I enjoyed this story and will be reading the 2nd one very soon :)

Lady Georgiana is invited to a castle in Transylvania to be a royal representative at a wedding. But once she gets there, she sees stuff that seems to involve vampires. And that's before someone drops dead. What's really happening? Plenty of fun as always, although the book does have a bit of a slow start.

It was fun. I did not chose to finish it, but that is because there was so much to it that I lost interest after playing it for many many days. I like the fact you can go around trying to cure all of whitechapel and how this effects the story slightly.

I adore this series of books, Rachel Caine is a very talented author. I love how different the vampires in her series act from the ones in other books I've read, they're not to be admired and loved, they're to be feared. The main character Claire is definitely how you'd imagine a begrudged hero if the day and the relationships built between all the characters makes you feel like you're part of it as you read.

2nd book from the great man based around vampires. Good story with decent characters and King already has found the ease of a seasoned writer as you are hooked very early on. As usual the book is better than the movie/TV series although that's worth a watch as it has David Soul (70's heart throb from Starsky & Hutch)as one of the leads.

I'm someone who prefers vampires to werewolves so I got really into this book. I think it can be put down to the build up of the relationship between between kane and caitlin. The crazy sexual tension that kept building...jeez!

Admittedly the lack of trust and the thinking one wanted to kill the other got a little annoying by the end but I'm glad they got a happy ending.

I wouldn't mind continuing the series.
