Journal Entry 1 by Kyrissaean from Littleton, New Hampshire USA on Tuesday, November 18, 2008

This is a second copy of this book for me, picked up at the annual library benefit!

I had a hard time choosing between romance and horror for the book category. I would have gone with romance, but then I thought maybe it should match the category that automatically popped up for When Darkness Falls.

The plot? American girl meets up with vamps in France while visiting relatives near an archaeological site at a church. This is technically the fourth book in Shannon Drakes vampire series, but it can stand alone--readers won't be lost if they haven't read the others. A couple characters from "When Darkness Falls" make an appearance, but not in a way that requires you to have known all about them previously.

I liked When Darkness Falls a bit better than this one, but both are okay. I haven't read the others yet, so I can't comment there. Just be aware that these are more romance than pure horror!

Library Journal's description of the story:
"Visiting her ailing grandfather at his chateau on the outskirts of Paris, American Tara Adair finds him strangely obsessed with the excavation of a local crypt and reluctantly agrees to check out the site for him. But Tara's timing couldn't be worse. Caught within the vaults when the coffin is unsealed and an ancient evil is released to terrorize the world once again, Tara fears that she has become a target not only of a menace she can hardly name but also of a powerful man who is much more than he seems. Fourth in Drake's contemporary vampire novel series, this work is loosely linked to her earlier ones and adds an intriguing werewolf twist. Although the characters could have been more fully developed and the romance aspect stronger, series fans will be waiting for this one."
