I think this is one of the worst vampire novels I’ve ever read.
I used to like her StarDoc novels, until her writing got dry and mechanical. This was just more of the same. Way too much info on the medical aspects. She’s the doctor.. not us. I found myself rolling my eyes and skipping over parts.

Lynn Viehl’s crisp, forward moving writing style is a wonderful contrast to the many flowery novels in the genre. The characters depicted are multi-faceted and the premise is unique. Some of the “vampirisims” seemed a little cliched. Overall, I was very entertained by the medical aspects, intense romantic scences and underlying conspiracy theory!
Looking forward to more of this series and I hope to see these characters again.

I really loved this book. I am hooked. Alexandra and Micheal are fantastic together. This was not a book I could predict, it was a great read and I will be reading the others. I hope to see Alex and Mike again.

I liked this book, enough to be pulled into the series and look forward to reading more Darkyn novels. I must admit, though, I found the chemistry between Alex and Cyprien unconvincing. For the most part, I enjoyed Alex’s character and her interactions with the rest of the “cast.”
